If you buy the parts individually, it costs $500. Not really a deal. Individual prices/links below
You could save even more by using G.SKILL Ripjaw Vs and choosing a cheaper B350 board or get an X370 board for the same price.

Guess I'll condense what was said in the previous post.
Is this a good deal?
...Not really, considering the motherboard can be had for 245$ at Mikes, and the 3600x at 299$.
Is this worth getting?
Considering the TUF is arguably one of the best budget X570 boards, has Wi-Fi, and puts the combo at 25-30$ over a 3600 combo, I'd say yes if you're to use the stock cooler. If not, the difference between the chips is just not worth it.
Could I do with cheaper?
Yes! you can save ~100$ by going with the 3600 and something like an B450 Aorus Pro Wi-Fi or, if Wi-Fi isn't a concern, the B450 Tomahawk.
E: words, also changed Tomahawk link because it's OOS online at 149
These all the first results on amazon in the motherboard section. All have a PS/2 port. So yes. I could use my 10-year-old PS/2 mouse on a new computer.

You can get this board new on amazon and newegg for $75. Probably going to have a hard time finding someone that'll buy it second hand for the same price they could buy it brand new for. Even paying tax will be cheaper than what shipping will cost.
Be very careful when choosing a motherboard for Ryzen.I'm going for a similiar build and deciding for components and their compatibility is a shitstorm. I read that Corsair LPX RAMs has problems with Asus Prime B350 Plus motherboards but I might be wrong.

any reason to go with this over the 69.99 ASRock B450M Pro-4?

So first thing's first, Windows: ~$130 for Home Edition.
Okay, so things to keep in mind:
The GPU you should be seeking to use is the 1660 Ti, which is basically a slightly gimped RTX 2060 but without the raytracing stuff. If you are willing to spend a bit more then you could get an RX 5700 instead, which is nearly ~30% faster on average.
That'll put you at $270 - $360 depending on the model you pick. Yes, it's a third of your budget, but the GPU is the single most important part of your build.
Secondly you'll want a decent CPU to go with that.
The Ryzen 5 3600 looks like a pretty good CPU, its a bit under $200, its fairly beefy and extendable so it's somewhat "future-proof" - in that it shouldn't cause much bottlenecking and you could upgrade your GPU past a 2080 Ti before needing to change the processor.
This MSI Tomohawk Mobo looks good for the 3600.
So we're at ~$320 for that, or about $640 total. Plus windows that is ~$730.
The RAM Inty recommended before should be fine. You only really need 16 GB. This will set you back ~$80. If you find yourself wanting more RAM later down the line you can always add another pair of sticks later and double up your RAM.
That puts us at around ~$800.
$80 for a 750W Fully Modular Corsair PSU is basically a steal. It's refurbished though, although that shouldn't be a problem - especially with a PSU.
We're at ~$880.
Some good thermal paste for your CPU.
We're now at ~$890.
Storage depends on what you want to do. Do you install a lot of stuff and files at once? In which case you might want to get a nice sized SSD plus a big HDD.
For your system drive. Plenty of space, good price, AND its an nvme SSD.
That makes for ~$990.
If you need lots of extra space
If you need extreme extra space
Keyboard and case are up to you, decide as you please. For the case just make sure that it can support an ATX mobo, as the mobo listed here is full ATX. Mechanical keyboards are crack, but they tend to be more expensive so they're probably out of range. This will be another $100 to $150 depending on what you pick.
Something to keep in mind though: Your case and your monitors are basically "future proof". In other words, they won't really get "worse" with time or cause future performance issues. So monitors and case are things where you want to consider what you'll eventually want and buy ahead, even if you have to stretch a bit.
This just leaves your monitor. I would NOT recommend a 1080p monitor above 24 in. Honestly, if you can go for a 1440p monitor then do it. I'm a bit of a resolution whore tho, so if 1080p works for you then that's fine. I would also avoid TN panels - they tend to look more washed out, tinny, and have worse viewing angles . . . although they also tend to be a fair bit cheaper than the good panels (namely IPS panels).
I used to own one of these . . . it was vvy vvy gud. This is a relatively artsy monitor, so if color gamut correctness or whatever is important for you for photo or video editing or whatever, then this is a good pick. It's a bit expensive, yeah, but also super gorgeous. It also goes up to 75 Hz. Conversely, get a freesync monitor, and this one is probably good - haven't done much research on it, but Dells are generally pretty good in my experience (my current 4K monitor is a Dell too). Freesync will allow you to basically eliminate screen tearing and will provide a smoother feeling experience because it will even out frame rates better.
One last thing to keep in mind: Shopping around on ebay and other sites can save you a fair bit. My rule of thumb is to never, ever buy sensitive parts like hard-drives, cpus, or motherboards second hand or refurbished. But everything else is fair game. So refurbished GPUs, Monitors, PSUs, Cases, etc. should be fine. Pre-owned? Ehhh . . . that I'm much, much more sketchy on - personally I wouldn't, but that's just me.
So in total it'd be somewhere in the range of $1500 including monitor, OS, case, and keyboard. The system itself is around $1000. But you can perhaps knock off a hundred bucks or two by shopping around and looking for where you can buy these parts cheaper than Amazon.
But again: investing in a good monitor and case can be worth it. It means you won't have to replace it if/when you do upgrade. And worst case scenario you can offload your monitor as a side/secondary monitor when you upgrade your monitor to a new one.

$56 normally, was $44 on Amazon, and now further decreased to $42.
I believe it's the cheapest LGA1151 motherboard you can buy.
I have the MSI B350 PC MATE for my Ryzen 5 and have no problems with it. It supports overclocking, and I got it for $130 CAD. You should have luck finding it cheaper if you're in the US. The B350 Tomahawk is also a great deal as well.
EDIT:

Tomahawk Amazon US

another mobo If you want, this is just a higher quality version of the other one.
While the $99 Ryzen 3 1200 would get the job done just fine, it could be a bit of a bottleneck if you plan on upgrading your GPU to anything above an RX 580/GTX 1060. For a mere $65 more the Ryzen 5 2600 is a much better choice as far as performance and future proofing go. It would pair quite nicely with any GPU, and won't bottleneck pretty much anything (unless you get something ridiculous like a Titan V, perhaps). As for a motherboard, I've always went with ASUS. The ASUS Prime B350-Plus would be my choice for your price range.
Might as well go with a X470 since they are so cheap now.

( delivery: Nov 10 - Dec 15 though)
Try the MSI MAX Motherboards (Like the B450 Tomahawk Max Or Amazon )
Depends what you need. Just need something reliable with good cooling for the VRM's? Then the B450 Tomahawk MAX is a pretty good option. However if you need Wi-Fi the B450 Gaming Pro Carbon AC is pretty good as well especially since it's on sale right now because of Flack Friday again it depends on what you need from the motherboard.
I think a lot of your prices are high.
For example the mobo can be found on amazon for $60 less than your asking and the Ryzen 7 2700 is only 170 new on amazon compared to your $190.

https://www.amazon.com/ROG-Strix-B450-F-Gaming-Motherboard/dp/B07FKTZC4M
Reviews seem mixed on Amazon. When is that not the case though... Some saying it didn't last long and had poor support.
3.8/5, 59 reviews
hey just note that the mobo sells new for 70 here: https://www.amazon.com/GIGABYTE-B450M-DS3H-Ryzen-Motherboard/dp/B07FWVJSHC
If you can spare the extra tenner or so, maybe change the CPU to the newer Ivy Bridge 3570k. It's pretty similar, but in with the new and all that.
Equally for £3 more you might as well go with the newer ASRock Z77.
RAM-wise you'd probably be better off going for 1600 MHz - you wouldn't really see that much performance boost for the money with anything higher than 1600MHz.
Unless you're a real audiophile the Sound Card is unnecessary - the onboard sound from the motherboard is usually good enough for most gaming builds.
750W might be slightly overkill for a 680, but if you don't mind spending the money and you want a lot of headroom for upgrades then go for it.
Just a few thoughts - good luck!
I've ordered all the parts to my computer and assembled them together. However, the LED light that indicates there is an error in my RAM is still blinking. My motherboard is the following:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00K2MAU5Q/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
At first, I ordered this RAM:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0058J1Q7O/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1
After receiving the motherboard manual, I looked at the list of compatible ram and ordered: http://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Vengeance-Desktop-Memory-CML8GX3M2A1600C9/dp/B00569K7LM/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1416861921&sr=8-1-fkmr0&keywords=corsair+vengeance+cml8gx3m2a1600c9+version+7.12
I am still receiving the LED light that indicates my RAM is not compatible or installed incorrectly. I have noticed that the list in my motherboard says Version 7.12, but the version of the ram I have is 5.20, although the part numbers are identical. Will this effect compatibility?
This mobo will be good
Hi /u/Flu17,
It's similar to camelcamel and it tracks price history as well if there's at least 1 user with a price alert active for a particular product. It will actually give you a detailed price history, including the actual price and the timestamp.
For example: https://www.ezpricealerts.com/products/US/B012NH05UW/
It checks prices roughly every 15 minutes. Since my userbase is so much smaller than camelcamel, I can afford to check every 15 minutes without maxing out Amazon's API request limits.
I decided to try building an entry PC based on the sales on this site, this is what i have so far.

I did see a couple other options though, either up or down ~$50 will both get you great cards for the money, letting you fiddle with the build to match your budget.

lol @ XBone. Sounds like the name of a villain in a 90s action movie.
Here's the deal. You can go the console route, and that's fine. But you're going to spend a lot more money in the long run.
You buy a PS4, an xbox one, a switch, whatever. Call it $400. OK. Cool. You buy games for it. $40, $30, $50. Sweet. Controllers. $50 $50 $50... Shit it's getting expensive. New games come out. Why the fuck are they $60 a piece? Holy shit. You wait a while. Jesus they only went down to $55? FFFFFFUUUUUU I wanna playyyyyyy.... Why aren't there more games and cheaper games? Granted, you do have the nice option to buy classic games on PSN and for Switch. Ugh.....fine, I'll shell out for Overwatch. Fine. I'll shell out for Destiny 2. Fuuuuck that was like $120. What....what the fuck is this? PS5? Nintendo Switch2?
ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?
BUT. Let me play out that scenario for you on a PC.

Total cost: $570 US, or roughly what you'd spend on your console and a few controllers.
BUT, now you have the entire library of all the computer games ever made at your disposal. Not to mention that, but you've got emulators to play all those classics that you could have bought on the PSN/Switch.
And instead of paying $60 every time a new game comes out, you look at what came out about 6 months ago. You put it on your steam wishlist. You get an email someday soon that says "an item on your wishlist is on sale."
Oh holy shit. Doom is $16. Holy fuck, it's the steam summer sale. Games are 75% off, 80% off....they're basically giving them away.
Then you sign up for Humble Bundle.
Holy shit. You can get Alien Isolation for $5.
These are 5 star games we're talking here. Not to mention you get like 10 no names to go with it. Hell, you're probably going to spend hours playing some of those.
Pretty soon you've got 100+ games that you may have spent a few hundred dollars on. Things are great, but you decide hey, I would LIKE to have a little more FPS on these. So you order yourself a new GT 1080, and sell your 1050 on ebay making back about $50. Later on down the line you decide to upgrade the processory, maybe add a stick of ram later. Now you got a stew goin. But you don't have to, that rig will play almost anything (though possibly on lower visual settings)
PC is just more budget friendly in my opinion. You never have to just throw the whole thing away and get a new one. You can always replace components and upgrade things individually. There's never new platforms to learn, get used to. You can always use your same old controller, and you can always play your old games. In my view, buying consoles is basically throwing away money because you have to buy so much hardware EVERY TIME they decide to release a new console.
There's give and take to it. I just like the stability and deep discounts I get from Steam, GOG, and Humble Bundle. I wouldn't even game if it wasn't this cheap.
That thing is damn expensive. I'm looking more at the B350.
if you dont plan to use SLI or crossfire, B350 is sufficient.

If this comes across as bitter, mine died after 9 weeks.
What I try to look at is patterns among bad reviews.
I'd start here: https://www.amazon.com/GIGABYTE-X470-AORUS-Gaming-Motherboard/product-reviews/B07BZ239Z2/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_viewopt_srt?ie=UTF8&reviewerType=all_reviews&formatType=current_format&pageNumber=1&sortBy=recent
and work my way through them, and you'll find a decent number of bad reviews are from it dying within a few months or just arriving doa.
For the first few months after it came out, reviews were decent and all looked fine, that's why I bought it. In the following few months, you'll notice there are now a significant number of bad reviews due to the board dying.
It is entirely possible that this was just a bad batch of motherboards, but without an easy method of verifying this, would you really want to risk it for potentially a few dozen dollars more for something less risky?
I hope this doesn't come across hating on gigabyte as I have two 7000 series graphics cards, lots of friends with their cards and a few motherboards without any issues, it just feels like something went wrong when they manufactured these.
Also, it's 1:15am, I'm not going to care about formatting.
Edit: just, not Judy.
The ASUS Prime X470-Pro is a good white AM4 Mobo
Btw the X470 Prime Pro is $114 right now and the X370 C6H is $129.
I recommend u/blumethia to look at this tier list and get the best one he can get for his budget. Can also reference this spreadsheet.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B07F7W5KJS/ref=dp_olp_0?ie=UTF8&condition=all&qid=1575056757&sr=8-3
This is more accurate link. Make sure the seller is Amazon Warehouse, and remember that 20% discount is taken at check out.
I’d save a bit of money and go with a b450 board unless you absolutely need the pcie 4.0. this MSI tomahawk is good or this Gaming pro Carbon if you want wifi built in. The other things I’d swap is your ssd for an intel 660p. It’s cheaper and faster.
As for a cooler, with the black theme you’ve got going a dark rock pro 4 would look pretty sweet in there, just check compatibility with your memory for clearance.
Sharing my experience with the Tomahawk B450.
I bought it before reaching this subreddit.
List of parts bought on amazon:
Msi B450 Tomahawk
Ryzen 3600
Patriot Viper 16GB X2
Samsung NVME 1TB 970
Parts I had and reused for the build:
Zotac GTX 1060 6GB
Cooler master Master Box Case
Seasonic Modular PSU (will update later on the exact model)
Samsung 1TB HDD
Parts I bought for the Bios Flashing:
Amd AM4 Athlon 200GE with Vega geaphics
After reading some of the posts here and the updates I figured I would need an updated bios on my motherboard before connecting the 3600.
Failing to find a store/repair shop to do the bios upgrade for me I bought the cheapest AM4 I could find in my region (Israel) to do the flashing.
I assembled the PC with one RAM stick, the Athlon 200GE, No Cmos Battery, connected to the DVI port of the motherboard, inserted a USB stick with the latest Bios from the MSI website ( 7C02v1A ), started the built in flash utility of the Bios, and waited.
The flashing process took a while, so for everyone doing the flashing "blind" (with the button and the USB method) you should wait at least 10 minutes between tries.
After the process finished, I shut down the computer, unplugged the PSU, did a power release (Clicked the power button a bunch of times), and swaped the Athlon with the 3600.
Booted UP, looked at the leds on the motherboard....CPU...VGA....and stuck.
Thought maybe I failed to do anything right, and then remembered the 3600 doesnt have GPU built in.
Truned off the PC, unplugged the PSU, did a power release (Clicked the power button a bunch of times), and Inserted the GTX 1060.
Connected the DVI cable to the GPU, turned on the PC, waited for the leds. And voila, booting properly and going into bios.
​
At this point I shut down the PC again,unplugged the PSU, did a power release (Clicked the power button a bunch of times), and plugged the rest of the components (Another RAM stick, NVME, HDD, Wireless PCIE card), did all the cable management needed and closed the case.
​
Turned on the PC, got into Bios settings, changed some settings, mainly XMP, and booting options, and booted into the USB3 thumbdrive with WIN10 1903 install.
​
Finished installing the OS, booting into windows, sudden restart, then again, and again???????
Windows showing error "Windows failed to start"
Trying Safe mode, windows is stable, driver issue.
Reset Bios settings, windows is stable.
Changing settings 1 by 1:
XMP - Stable
Vitrualazation - Stable
​
Didn't pusue any more changes than that ATM.
​
PC is working fast, no issues so far.
Will update if anything changes.
​
TL;DR
My system works, I don't do any overclocking whatsoever, your mileage may vary.
https://www.amazon.com/MSI-Performance-Motherboard-B450-PRO/dp/B07F85YKLJ/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=b450+pro+carbon&qid=1562516996&s=gateway&sr=8-1
Its currently $139 on Amazon but the B450 Aorus Wi-Fi works too. It has solid VRMs so it should handle the 3600x no problem. The Pro Carbon does have better wifi as well though in case that matters to you.
I'd say:
CPU - Ryzen 5 2600 for $129.30 on Amazon
RAM - Corsair Vengeance LPX 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 Memory for $65.99 on Amazon
GPU - Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1660 Ti 6 GB WINDFORCE OC for $279.99 on Amazon
Case - NZXT H500 ATX Mid Tower for $69.99 on Amazon
PSU - Corsair CXM 450 W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-modular for $57.96 on Amazon
Monitor - Sceptre C248B-144RN 24.0" 1920x1080 144 Hz for $154.99 on Amazon - https://www.amazon.com/Sceptre-Edge-Less-FreeSync-DisplayPort-C248B-144RN/dp/B07MTMCNLX/ref=sr_1_2?crid=2N0O44FUFH3W9&keywords=sceptre+monitor&qid=1568701318&s=electronics&sprefix=sceptre+moni%2Celectronics%2C190&sr=1-2
Total = $758.22
Those things are what I would recommend whole-heartedly, but the Storage and MoBo depends on you:
Storage:
- HP EX900 500 GB for $52.99 on Amazon - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07B2ZVJ5F/?tag=pcpapi-20
- Intel 660p Series 1.02 TB for $94.99 on Amazon - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07GCL6BR4/?tag=pcpapi-20
Motherboard
- If no overclock - ASRock B450M/AC (It has WiFi) for $74.99 on Amazon - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07SY8CMTX/?tag=pcpapi-20
- If yes overclock - Asus ROG STRIX B450-F GAMING for $119.99 on Amazon - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07FKTZC4M/?tag=pcpapi-20
​
Cheapest build I'd recommend is $758.22 + $52.99 + $74.99 = $886.20 but you have the option for a bit of extra storage and/or performance if you'd like.
Going with a cheap board is like going with a cheap PSU. You are choosing a lesser quality component that plugs into every other piece of your build..
​
Dude, return that shit and I will Zelle you $15-20. Dead serious. DM me.
Edit: Here is an inexpensive board on Amazon.
https://www.amazon.com/ASRock-MicroATX-Motherboard-B450M-PRO4/dp/B07FVYKFXF/ref=sr_1_5?keywords=b450m&qid=1571420365&sr=8-5
If you live near a Microcenter you can get the same board there as well:
https://www.microcenter.com/product/509732/asrock-b450m-pro4-am4-matx-amd-motherboard
You don't need the cooler as the 2600x comes with a damn good one. Also, go with this Motherboard as it has integrated wifi. You should then get another case fan.

At this price you really shouldn't be spending that much on a motherboard. It doesn't impact performance. You could get this and it'd be functionally the same. Well-threaded programs mean they're spread out efficiently over many threads and get along well with stuff like hyperthreading seen in i7s and i3s. The FX 8350, if all 8 threads are properly utilized, can surpass Sandy Bridge i7s and most certainly any i5. It also OCs really well, or so I've heard. If you want sheer performance, you do not need an expensive motherboard at all.
Here's a motherboard for the FX 8350.
That'll save you about $60 and will be much better for your music creation program. Also, the 8350 tends to be a little better at multitasking in my experience. It's also a fantastic gaming CPU.
At this price point, going with micro-ATX is a waste. It's only really for tiny builds and extreme budget builds because that expandability later on is absolutely essential. My micro-ATX board has 2 SATA ports covered by the graphics card, meaning I can't add another hard drive right now.
It would be good to get an AMD FX-6300 and an am3+ board at this price point. This motherboard is too expensive for your build. This board should serve you well for the AMD FX 6300.
Corsair CX500m is still a quality PSU for a little bit cheaper.
Take the savings and put it toward a better graphics card. If you can afford it, a GTX660ti or a 7870ghz would give you very substantial increase in performance over the 650ti. I can´t really speak to prices in Australia, so you´ll have to hunt for it.
Otherwise, good build! Good luck.
How is this "too low to show" when Amazon and Newegg have this for literally just $9 more right now?
http://amazon.com/dp/B00K2MAU5Q/
Significantly.
You may want to look at a Seasonic or Corsair CMx PSU. They are going to provide a better reliability at a similar cost. Look for 450w or so.
I would also swap to 1x8 for the RAM so you can easily swap later.
Could go cheaper on MOBO also. This would get you closer to being able to bump up the GPU to a RX480 8GB or 1060 6GB within the budget.
TL;DR: Currently have i3-6100. Looking at i5-6500 and i5-7500. Would like an upgrade recommendation so I can run games like Tarkov and PubG.
I'm very sad to say, I built this rig in late 2016, and I still feel like I don't know what the hell I'm doing. I got by with a lot of help from redditors and Youtube videos so I have no idea what's good and what isn't.
Currently, I have an i3-6100. I skimped on some parts due to being on a budget. In addition to upgrading my RAM by 8GB (Currently have 8GB) I'm hoping to upgrade my CPU. I also have an EVGA GTX 950 in there.
If it matters This is my motherboard
So what I'm looking for is an LGA 1151 slot, right?
Here is the first option
Here is the second option
What confuses me, is the second one is one generation newer than the first one, right? Why are they the same price? I'm also told if I go above a certain gen I'd have to upgrade my BIOS? I'd like to avoid that if possible. I've also read that in reality, an i5 is plenty sufficient for games, and i7 isn't worth the extra money unless you're video editing/rendering, etc. Lastly, the stock cooler that comes with the cpu should suffice, yes? I don't care about overclocking.
I'm looking to smoothly run Tarkov, Hunt Showdown, PubG, things like that. I don't care about 4k or 1440p or anything really. Ideally I'd like to at least keep it to 60fps though. Smooth gameplay is primarily what I'm after.
I'm also open to AMD and such if there's a comparable option that's more cost-effective, the intel i-series was just a bit easier for me to tell the difference between the different tiers (3, 5, 7)
I know it's a bit verbose, so thank you for reading.
A friend of mine has the MSI Mortar he says its good. The ATX equivalent is the MSI Tomahawk
MSI B350M Gaming Pro, it's in the ad.
https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813144019
https://www.amazon.com/MSI-Motherboard-B350M-GAMING-PRO/dp/B06X3Y7KB5
I'd recommend the MSI B350M Gaming Pro as it has all the features you need. You can use a dual slot GPU and both x1 slots at the same time. I've owned a few MSI motherboards in the past and they've all done very well for me.
If you want a new board, [this is the only Z77 I can find still being sold new on NewEgg.] (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA85V4N27226&cm_re=z77-_-13-157-293-_-Product) If you're okay with used, give r/hardwareswap a look.
EDIT: I also found [this on Amazon] (https://www.amazon.com/LGA1155-CrossFireX-Motherboard-Z77-EXTREME4/dp/B007KTY4A6/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1469220483&sr=1-1&keywords=z77+motherboard) for much cheaper. Still new.
DO NOT GET THIS MOBO
/u/qu3L what are you doing? He needs a LGA 1155 socket not an LGA 1150 socket!
OP, try looking at the ASrock Z77 Extreme 4, I have just upgraded to it and absolutely love it.
My Asus P8Z68 Deluxe overclocks like a beast, but that is a little old school. If I was buying today...http://www.amazon.com/LGA1155-CrossFireX-Motherboard-Z77-EXTREME4/dp/B007KTY4A6
The Extreme4 is around 20£ cheaper than the Asus Z68 mobo! If it's possible for you to cancel the order on the Z68 and get the Extreme4, it would be great and you'll be in line with the latest gen of tech.
I am not sure about Amazon's credit card charging policies mate. Sorry! It might be possible to check your available credit amount through your bank. Login to their website and you should see an option to check your credit!
I got a used Asus M5A97 R2.0 mobo from a friend. I dont really have a budget but I want this to last a while. I can use most of my old build, but I do need a CPU and RAM. I don't know much about AMD chips so any recommendations?
Thanks! Checking it out now.
http://www.amazon.com/ASUS-M5A97-R2-0-SATA-Motherboard/dp/B008V9959O
Its at a pretty good price right now at Amazon.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819113286
The AMD FX6300 is a pretty strong processor for the price it's sold at. If you're looking for a decent priced mother board then I've seen recommendations for the ASUS M5A97 http://www.amazon.com/ASUS-M5A97-R2-0-SATA-Motherboard/dp/B008V9959O
When buying the motherboard, look out for what socket type it has and make sure it's the same as the AMD FX's required socket. (if you do decide to buy that processor).
So I just bought the i7-4790k from the Intel Retail Edge. How much should I expect to get out of:
AMD 8320
ASUS M5A97 R2.0
Hopefully enough to get me a nice new 1150 mobo
Since you'd have to get new RAM, I'd recommend getting something a little cheaper like this $100 board:
http://www.amazon.com/ASUS-M5A97-R2-0-SATA-Motherboard/dp/B008V9959O/ref=sr_1_12?m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1373757008&sr=1-12&keywords=AMD
And getting a stick of 8GB RAM, like this:
http://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Vengeance-Desktop-Memory-CML8GX3M1A1600C10/dp/B008E3M4TU/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1373757126&sr=1-2&keywords=1x8GB
You could probably find 2x4GB a little cheaper, but getting 1x8 will let you max it out to 32 later.
Total cost is about $165. However, before I can tell you for sure if it will work in your system without issue, I'll need you to tell me if your case can accommodate a full sized ATX motherboard and if you need a PATA interface.
EDIT: Disclaimer, I do not have personal experience with that board. The RAM, however, is the low profile version of what I use in my own build.
http://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-SATA-6Gbps-Motherboard-GA-970A-UD3P/dp/B00F5R9O46/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1405124715&sr=8-4&keywords=gigabyte+AM3%2B
$84

$80
and if you need mATX, $60
http://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-DDR3-Micro-Motherboard-GA-78LMT-USB3/dp/B009FC3YJ8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1405124715&sr=8-1&keywords=gigabyte+AM3%2B
In order of what would be my preference, each price drop means you get fewer features in the chipset but all 3 should have adequate performance for standard gaming.
Thank you, I found the Gigabyte one on Amazon and it has posotive reviews while the MSI one has no reviews so I will go with the Gigabyte motherboard.

Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3 AM3+ AMD DDR3 1333 760G HDMI USB 3.0 Micro ATX Motherboard
I dont really know much about motherboards, but here :
Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3 AM3+ AMD DDR3 1333 760G HDMI USB 3.0 Micro ATX Motherboard
thats what the amazon page says.
LINK : http://www.amazon.in/Gigabyte-GA-78LMT-USB3-DDR3-Micro-Motherboard/dp/B009FC3YJ8?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00
In case you TL;DR:
AMD is better bang for your buck. Intel is better for cutting-edge. Cutting edge is only relevant to $1500 procs, therefore anything Intel makes that's below AMDs top processor at the time, is basically overpriced.
Basically, the main differences between AMD and Intel are as follows:
AMD:
Cheaper than Intel in basically every facet
Uses 1 physical core per thread (irrelevant unless you're getting a very expensive CPU)
Intel:
Take your example build:
Proc - $117 - No heat sink or water cooling. 2 core, 4 threads
https://www.amazon.com/Intel-i3-6100-Cache-Processor-BX80662I36100/dp/B015VPX2EO
Board $76 - Not a lot to say about the board unless there's something about it you specifically want or like, if it works and supports all the cards and such you'll be needing, a board is a board.
https://www.amazon.com/MSI-Gaming-Skylake-Motherboard-H110M/dp/B01B4U47E4
That's $193, and you get:
Building a cheapo AMD rig:
Proc - $105 - 8 core/8 thread @4.2 GHz - Comes with heat sink and pre-applied thermal paste in my experience.
https://www.amazon.com/AMD-8-Core-FX-8300-Processor-FD8300WMHKBOX/dp/B00TR8YL4W/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1481881649&sr=1-1&keywords=amd+fx+8300
Mobo - $57 - Same as last mobo, if it does what you need it to as per what you're looking for, and fits your case, a mobo is a mobo. Cheapo one for sure.
https://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-DDR3-Micro-Motherboard-GA-78LMT-USB3/dp/B009FC3YJ8/ref=sr_1_2?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1481880866&sr=1-2&keywords=am3%2B+motherboard
That's $162, and you get:
DDR3 ram is also cheaper, which is another thing to think about and price out. AMD doesn't support DDR4 yet, thus using DDR3 still, that intel board requires DDR4. Expect to pay more.
So, in these examples, you can see that you get a lot more for a lot less pretty easy with AMD. I currently have an AMD rig with the FX 8350 in it, which is basically a more stable 8300 with a base speed of 4GHZ instead of 3.3, both can reach 4.2GHz.
I personally rock the 970 Aura by Asus (mobo). It's been great to me, and has some LEDs on it for the extra lookers!
A lot of people have biases towards either product, but my bias for AMD is just because of rational, why pay more for less? I haven't noticed any differences in problem rates with Intel vs AMD, either, it's not like they just make cheap garbage parts ;)
If budget is really tight get Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B009FC3YJ8/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_D7dQ
Drop the ram down. These 760 mobo will only run the ram at 1333mhz. The 760 chipset is very old. it will also gimp your ssd because it only has sata 2. The board your looking for thats out of stock is the same way.
If you want fast ram to work and sata 3 for the ssd you need a 970 or 990 like
GIGABYTE GA-990FXA-UD3 Motherboard https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0055QYKQO/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_SceQub1SZ2VNG
Or a bit cheaper
ASRock 970 Extreme3 R2.0 AM3+ AMD 970 Motherboard , http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=13-157-394
That's why they got me here. That's why I be here. That's what I do.
Also, ignore my previous edit. Just the Asus z97 (so this one) will do.
How soon do you plan on building this? If you can wait a couple months the NVIDIA GTX 880 will be out soon, and it's supposed to be around the price of the 770 when it came out (about $400, US). This is probably the worst time of the year to build a computer. Devil's Canyon and Z97 did just come out, but Intel is still do for X99 and Haswell-E, NVIDIA is releasing Maxwell, and AMD probably has some stuff being announced soon.
Otherwise it looks good, the only things I would change would be the power supply (for an EVGA SuperNOVA), the motherboard (to something from ASUS), I would maybe get a cheaper SSD as the 850 Pro series don't really offer much more for the premium. An 840 EVO or a Crucial MX100 of the same price would be the optimal as far as price/performance. I would also recommend against getting a 7.1 headset, I've tried them and they're terrible, as an alternative I'd get a cheap pair of studio headphones like the Audio-Technica ATH-M50 and a desktop microphone.
Edit 1: I would recommend getting a case with better airflow as well. Something like the Phanteks Enthoo Pro is a good value case with much better airflow, and has a nice aesthetic.
Hopefully I can answer a couple questions for you;
Price really depends on brand and what you want out of it, personally I have the ASUS Z97-A which is a board I love which I got at what I believe to be a fair price ($150) As you can see it has three PCIe x16 lanes, which may be a little overkill but if I ever wanted to use SLI I could easily fit three full video cards happily in there. Ports and specifics are not what you should be too focused on. Obviously you need USB and SATA ports and stuff like that, but all of that stuff is fairly standard across all motherboards. Most commonly you'll have more ports than what you need. The CPU socket needs to match the CPU size, most commonly you'll see an LGA 1150 for intel, and for AMD they have the AM2, AM3 etc. If you are using a Skylake Intel Chip, than you need a board with the newer LGA 1151 board. It is very important that the CPU you order fits in the motherboards socket, or else when you put the two together it wont boot up and you'll be dead in the water.
You should use https://pcpartpicker.com/ to map out a build. Its a great tool that will let you know if you have any incompatibilities in your rig before you spend a dime.
Good luck with your build, feel free to PM me with any other questions, I'm on mobile all the time so I should get back to you pretty quickly.
Wow...thanks no words I can think of so instead I'll throw in some advice from your thread about your SLI issues a few days back.
I'm gonna assume you got two HD 7950's since you don't specify in your thread. As you can see if you follow the link each card pushes as much pixels as a GTX 660ti which is 27% more powerful than the [GTX 750ti] (http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/gpu.php?gpu=GeForce+GTX+750+Ti).
As such your going to get much more bang for your dollar buying a new Motherboard over GPU's and as such I agree with the guy who commented on your post. His choice of motherboard was also outstanding, Asus are quickly becoming my new favorites for motherboards and the model he choose has fantastic value/feature ratio for the Asus Z97-A.
For 140 dollars it will give you much more performance and upgrade room that buying a single GPU powerful enough to compete with SLI.

This Asus Z170-A Motherboard is good for overclocking. I bought it at 140$, but due to a recent hike in demand, the price has gone up. At the moment it is still under 160$ while providing SLI support and would provide you a good overclock.

That's a pretty nice build, but you could go for an RX 480 or a GTX 1060 when the price drops a bit.
You could save a bit of cash by going with this motherboard instead.
Other than that, really solid build!
SolidWorks, correct me if I'm wrong, is fairly CPU heavy I believe, so you'll want a powerful CPU -- the i7-6700K is the best in the enthusiast grade stuff. [This build combines it with an R9 380 graphics card, and a high-quality PSU] (https://www.theaipc.com/result/c1468166669266). I'd modify the build slightly -- swap out the ASUS motherboard for the cheaper Micro ATX gigabyte board https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0165YUDTM, which will fit with the case.
Then, if you want more disk space, that gives you room to upgrade to the 480GB SSD if you wish. Windows is $85 on Amazon currently, so this build would put you around $1025. A solid build that will edit very well and handle most games on medium to high at 1080p. If you want more gaming pop, consider the RX 480 when it's back in stock.
my first idea is to maybe go with a more bare-bones motherboard your current one has 2 graphics card slots and 4 ram slots. You only need 1 graphics card slot and 2 ram slots unless you are planning on upgrading your pc in the future. I found this one on Amazon that's about half the price. Also maybe consider only using 8gb ram or 12 if you stick with the current motherboard. 16gb is a little overkill in my opinion.

Good lord, with all the negative posts screaming about the RX480 melting cheap motherboards, I forgot that it actually does everything I wanted a motherboard to do. Just wondering, I have this H110 Motherboard and I a noticed you had a P67-G43; you think I am safe from needing to replace this brand new motherboard in a few months?
Oh I meant h110m (which I use right now) or b150
Having just an ssd isnt a problem if you have an external hdd. If all your playing is LOL trust me your build will get the results you want. You just need to change your mobo to something basic since you wont be overclocking. something like the Gigabyte GA-H110M-A Micro ATX LGA1151 Motherboard works fine and should shave a few bucks off your build. You would be better off getting 2x4gb ram instead of 1x8gb. gives a bit of a preformance boost but then again ram is cheap so you could always buy another 8gb stick later (you wont need 16gb of ram for LOL but maybe if you decided to play something else in the future it could be nice). No real need for an optical drive these days but by all means buy it if you feel you need it.

You'll want to look at H110 or B150 mobo's. Here's a good one, you'll just need a separate wifi card. Otherwise this ASRock has built in wifi.
That's a fairly tenuous claim. All the following motherboards are sold by Gigabyte:
Then we have Newegg advertising the same motherboard you linked with no mention of generation. We also have a review from your motherboard 5 days ago that claims the BIOS must be updated.
I'm not saying I'm right, but it doesn't seem like that text is a guarantee.
Had the same problems with their subsidiary company ASRock. Fucking drove me nuts. I roll with Gigabyte now, even the shit tier boards have "Audio Noise Guard with High Quality Audio Capacitors". Might be worth looking into.

You can get a B150 for $42 on Newegg at the moment delivery included in the price, which is a slightly better mobo than a H110 - it's apparently an $85 value (Amazon also charge $85 for it)... $25 off if you buy before Friday, plus a $20 mail in rebate. That's a really good deal.

H110/B150s are about $10 less than 250s, but are also on sale like this more frequently. You can also find some second hand for about $30-35

Basically as best I know with these, they do not work with a G4560 off the bat, but if you put the 6500 in it when you first run the system you can do a quick bios update that enables Kaby Lake support, then take out the 6500 and replace it with the 4560 which will work perfectly fine.
As is there is $25 left in the budget, so if you get one of these for $40 that's $45 left in the budget. If he thinks he can sell the 750 TI let's say for $85 then he has $130, so getting the RAM for $30-35 should mean the 470 wouldn't cost a cent. It's a little bit of work granted, but would be a hell of an upgrade to get essentially for free.
I would recommend the B350 Tomahawk. $109.99. Supports Ryzen and ddr4 memory. Even has usb 3.1's. That's just what i built on though. https://www.amazon.com/MSI-B350-TOMAHAWK-Gaming-Motherboard/dp/B06WVFFXXL

Amd Ryzens are pretty nice at the moment and cheap. Ryzen 1600 is a good choice. I recommend a SSD disk and a second one HDD so you have a faster system and also an storage disk. Graphic card will be the hardest. Maybe a cheap 1050 2 gb will do.

Also, I wouldnt buy the parts on amazon, but this way you can search them in a good electronics shop from your country which adds the assembly.

I personally prefer regular ATX sized motherboards if my budget allows and for $5 more it seems better as well

Also, Ryzen is HEAVILLY in favor of higher speed RAM. Go for 3000MHz if you can.
I also recommend an SSD but if you want to prioritize space first then go for it :)

If it's the official MSI account selling it on Amazon it should have the updated BIOS. Even if it doesn't come with the updated BIOS that mobo has BIOS flash so you can update it without a CPU or memory installed, all you need is the motherboard, a power supply, a USB drive, and another PC to download the latest BIOS.
This is the official one on Amazon that should come with the latest BIOS so you shouldn't have to update it.

I still think you could just save budget with 16 GB RAM but that's your prerogative.
The Pro Carbon does, it has 2 M.2 slots.

> competitive fps's and MMORPG's.
Go Intel over AMD based on current generation hardware. Competitive FPS generally means high framerates. That means single-core performance is the big difference here. MMOs are highly single-thread dependent. In both cases, Intel wins with current hardware.
Refer to my other reply (which you may have already seen at this point) for further explanation on why I believe Intel is better for your needs. However, I'd advise waiting to see what the Ryzen 3000 series offers if you have the luxury of waiting. If even conservative speculation comes to pass, it may finally match Intel in single-threaded performance while maintaining the multi-threaded advantage. Best of both worlds, if it comes to pass.
> From what i read the 16 threads are what make the ryzen a good choice, but looking at the benchmarks the 9600k looks so much better.
Cores/threads are only useful if the software is using it. The majority of today's games don't benefit from more than 4 cores, even accounting for OS/system/background tasks. We are starting to see a push for games using 6-8 threads, thankfully, but even then, the 6 faster cores of the 9600k outperform the 8 slower cores of the 2700X.
> My point is from what i saw on videos more threads might be better for playing MMORPG's.
MMOs don't really benefit from more threads. They benefit from faster single-core performance. Using World of Warcraft as an example, they added in DX 12 support with patch 8.0, and added basic multi-threading (draw calls split across cores/threads) in 8.1. It still favors faster single core performance, [AS SEEN HERE] (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c5fHtDZehmw).
> btw whats a good MB for either case?
I'm actually waiting for the Ryzen 3000 series myself, but I have an Intel backup plan in place should it disappoint. If going Intel, I recommend [THIS BOARD] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07HM753YR). If the high-end Wifi doesn't matter, save a bit and step down to THIS for some cost savings. These boards are otherwise offer a similar experience.
If going with current gen AMD Ryzen, I prefer [THIS BOARD] (https://www.amazon.com/MSI-Performance-Motherboard-B450-PRO/dp/B07F85YKLJ). Not an MSI fanboy, just really fond of their current generation hardware, and I prefer boards with competent Wifi.
okay, i did some digging and where im from(sweden) this one costs the same but is alot nicer aesthetically would this work aswell?

this vs B450 Tomahawk for $115 or B450 ROG Strix for $120
Yeah the 2700x would be a step up for sure specially with all the multitasking you do. I'd get a gigabyte x470 aorus or asus rog strix b450 as for ram I'd want 3200 c14 G.Skill flare that ram should work great with the 2700x, and get you the speed you want.
A little bit but I would spend the couple extra dollars to get this ASUS ROG Strix B450-F Gaming Motherboard (ATX) AMD Ryzen 2 AM4 DDR4 DP HDMI M.2 USB 3.1 Gen2 B450 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07FKTZC4M/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_sv16Cb5SKAVQH
Asus B450-F would do you well I think. https://www.amazon.com/ROG-Strix-B450-F-Gaming-Motherboard/dp/B07FKTZC4M
This is a pretty good Amazon build, and can handle medium-high AAA titles and can demolish Minecraft, even at ultra resolutions.
AND IT'S UNDER $500!!!

Check out this build.
I would recommend swapping out the motherboard. Find a B450 motherboard and check with the seller to make sure you get one with a "Ryzen 3000 ready" sticker on it, I know Amazon US is shipping these with the sticker but I'd still double check since B450 motherboards didn't support Ryzen 3000 at launch.Edit: Ignore this, the B450 MAX is fine.
You dont need a new system from you parts you can easily get a Asrock B450m pro, a Ryzen 3 2200g, and a 8GB/16GB DDR4 3000Mhz RAM for what $215 or $240. That will last you for a good long while. Then you can re-use all your other parts.
Motherboard $75, CPU $80, 8GB $59, 16GB $85
​
Edit: Cleaned up links and format
PC won’t turn on, turns on for approx 30 seconds then turns off, not a faulty power supply (it was working earlier today) and also heatsink is firmly stuck where it has been for the last day or so.
I have this motherboard and this graphics card.
We unplugged some cables and the graphics after getting confused about the SATA cables and plugged in the hard drive and the SSD (M.2 SSD) then plugging the graphics card back in and all the cables. Is there something common that people miss with their cable management or something that plugging in the hard drive could do to the motherboard/graphics card?
Sorry that the comment is a little vague, I can link to all other build components if possible.
This one is decent https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07FVYKFXF/?tag=pcpapi-20

You did say you wanted a lower price so I went with the 2600X, at 1440p your more GPU limited so the performance hit will be minimal. I went with a better looking case that has PSU shroud and rubber grommets. The PSU is Corsair and 550W but your saving yourself $20 since 550W is sufficient. I changed the monitor for one that has freesync and is 75hz for a more enjoyable gaming experience. Lastly, you could even go with the Aorus Pro with onboard wifi+bt and go with Team 3000MHz ram if you want fit the Ducky better into your budget.

I'm looking to get the B450 Gigabyte Auros motherboard.

Do I need any other equipment to use its wifi and bluetooth? I didn't think so but then I saw this picture of something connecting to it's wifi ports

Same rig. I use a Gigabyte Aorus b450 Pro Wifi -- no complaints.
https://www.amazon.com/GIGABYTE-B450-AORUS-PRO-WIFI/dp/B07FW85VFT/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=gigabyte+aorus+b450+pro+wifi&qid=1557176772&s=gateway&sr=8-2
Drop the wi-fi card, spend $20 to get the PRO Wi-Fi verison of that board. It will have a much better adapter. This board also offers a much better Audio chip. The ALC1220-VB versus the ALC892 which I believe is present on the B450 Elite.
Save yourself the future trouble, Intel Wireless chips are generally really good.
-
Also, only buy VESA certified Displayport cables. Don't risk damaging your components with cheap cables with something that requires such a high bandwidth

From the man himself
Thanks for the explanations, this is exactly the feedback I was looking for. I tend to think of things within a budget and then have a hard time talking myself down, so the CPU and cooler advice in particular makes a lot of sense. Given what some other users are saying here, would using the savings with this build and putting into an Intel CPU make sense?
​
In regards to the motherboard, I wasn't really sure what impact a 470 vs. a 450 really made but it seems to be limited to features? I really chose the Taichi based on its good reviews and the fact that it has WiFi which is necessary for me. Looking over B450 boards with WiFi this seems to be good and saves a few more dollars. https://www.amazon.com/GIGABYTE-B450-AORUS-PRO-WIFI/dp/B07FW85VFT, any other recommendations?
​
I'm not sure why I wouldn't go with just one 2 TB storage... Just because it seems like everyone says you need two, one to run your OS and the other purely for storage. To clarify that's what you're saying right, to substitute the 2TB for both my previously selected storage units?
​
PSU - Thanks I needed to hear this, I figured better safe than sorry and overshot it.

First thing: that's a 2600, not a 2600G (which doesn't exist). You want an SSD; a hybrid drive doesn't cut it in 2017 except in extreme budget builds; perhaps knock down the storage to a 512GB NVME SSD instead and perhaps the RAM to a single 8 slot (to upgrade later).
You don't need full size ATX given this list of components; I'd go with mid sized / mATX. https://www.amazon.com/GIGABYTE-B450M-DS3H-Ryzen-Motherboard/dp/B07FWVJSHC/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=b450M&qid=1566704031&s=gateway&sr=8-1 is what I bought for my Overwatch build 2 weeks ago; it's a good bit under $100 and has good VRMs for the price point if you want to overclock; you might want to consider getting a network card if you can't wire tho.
Where are you located so I can get a good estimate on shipping as well, I can definitely help you out a bit, I'd personally recommend these parts! best of luck

Are these the three you are talking about?
I'm planning on buying this motherboard, but I want to know how much room is left for the pcie 1x after adding a 2 slot gpu?
> What should someone on a budget buy: a weak CPU with a board twice the price, or a good CPU on a cheap board?
"Board twice the price" of what? The CPU? The cheapest B450 board on Amazon right now costs $70 while the cheapest B350 board costs just $50 (which BTW is the same as the cheapest A320 board). None of these boards are anywhere close to costing a $110. If the 200GE was unlocked and someone wanted to build a super budget PC and overclock it they would more than likely go for the cheapest B-series board.
> I am very familiar with buying hardware on a short budget, since i have been building my own computers since i was 15, with money i could make doing freelance programming. Being able to have good hardware is a nice change.
I can relate to that. It's so liberating to not be so constrained by the limitations of the hardware inside a PC.
Is your current CPU a Ryzen 3 or a Ryzen 5 1600? Probably be best to upgrade your motherboard to a Ryzen 2000 ready board. Here is the cheapest Micro-ATX board I could find (that supports Ryzen 5 2600 out of box): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07FWVJSHC/?tag=pcpapi-20 Here is the cheapest ATX I could find: https://m.newegg.com/products/N82E16813145082?ignorebbr=1&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-PCPartPicker%2c+LLC-_-na-_-na-_-na&AID=10446076&PID=3938566

I bought the Gigabyte B450M DS3H from Amazon for $84.99 pre-tax 2 weeks ago. It will most likely drop back to around that on BF. No guarantee it will ship with the updated bios, but mine did so they must have new stock.
So you folks have me thinking.
And thank you for that...

This is what I came up with.
took me 40 minutes
I would say it depends on what your budget is.
If you want to jump platforms, you might be looking at replacing the RAM in addition to getting a new CPU and motherboard. Ryzen favors faster RAM, so your 2400MHz RAM won't be giving your as much performance as you might otherwise get with faster RAM.
The motherboard you have linked there only has an A320 chipset, so you won't be able to overclock a Ryzen chip to maximize your performance. If you're set on that particular look, I would look at this one instead. That said, I would also look at other alternatives, since both of those boards only have 2 RAM slots, so if you ever want to upgrade beyond 8GB, you're going to have to replace the RAM, and if you're going to get into video editing, you'll likely want to upgrade to 16GB (or more) eventually (though I guess it's an "issue" you have with your current board as well). In any case, if going with Ryzen, I would look for a board with a B350 chipset.
The simplest upgrade solution would be for you to just stick with the system you have and upgrade the processor to either a Skylake or Kaby Lake i5 or i7, depending on your budget. It would just be a matter of swapping the CPU and possibly getting a better heatsink for it, depending on the model. If it helps, you should probably be able to sell your old G4560 for as much as you paid, offsetting some of the cost of upgrading. With the upcoming announcement of Intel's new Coffee Lake processors, you might see some slightly cheaper used i7s come up in the used market (if you're willing to buy used), potentially for relatively cheap. While you won't be able to overclock any of the unlocked Intel chips with your current board, they should still perform fairly well stock.
In either case, I would recommend waiting until next week to see what Intel is going to announce and go from there.

Huge number of options here.
$104
$189 (fancier backplate, fancier lighting, etc)
$116 - middle of the road
$85 - budget, notice the PCIE slots are NOT reinforced with metal (so GPU may sag over time)
$99 - different aesthetic, MATX
$173 - yet another option
$117 - and another
Cheaper boards also give less flexibility/ability when overclocking a CPU. And generally may exhibit older display connectors, fewer ports, no wifi built in, fewer M.2 slots, lack of reinforced X16 slots, no debug Q code panel, cheaper quality capacitors and heatsinks, etc.
Your second point is just wrong. I've seen solid deals all over today on prime.

I'm sure that hybrid card will be the coolest running, but I'm always afraid of long term reliability on that extra technology. I'm not really sure how the others compare. I've just always felt that spending $30 on a better cooler was not for me personally. Always just got what was cheapest.
Asus - PRIME B350-PLUS is good enough. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06X416NJ1/?tag=pcpapi-20
I personally like micro-ATX builds for space savings, but if you like that case, stick with regular full size ATX.
I'm using a Ryzen 7 and a 1070 and have zero issues at all. No stutters, or crashing. I would suggest going with a R7, and unless you want to spend more money there's the $100 board which I also got here and then a pair of 8gb ram to throw in there too.

(Ignore the dickhead who gave the RAM a 1* review)
That gives you enough left over for a case, SSD and PSU and would be a perfectly serviceable machine for recording.

Let's talk about the tweaks:
Suggestion: Reach for the 1080Ti - 4K is hella demanding and without a GSync panel you'll want to hit your panel's refresh rate as much as possible to avoid tearing. Alternatively, look into a 4K Gsync panel (which would be a good investment).
Interesting. So what If I went with b350? Like this: (Asus ROG STRIX- Amazon, CA)?
Am I just missing SLI Support?

Ah I thought it took up a PCI-e slot so I was also looking into this card since it has 2. Didn't realize M2 had their own slot. The MSI Tomahawk does have better reviews overall though so maybe I should stick with that one?
My last card was a sapphire and I've been pretty happy with it, so I might go with your suggestion for the GPU.
The ASUS one (ASUS ROG STRIX B350-F GAMING AMD Ryzen AM4 DDR4 HDMI DisplayPort M.2 USB 3.1 ATX B350 Motherboard https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071SGQP1Q/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_-2TRAbW786HPA) is a great purchase, their ROG products are great in my opinion. And yeah, that power supply is way overkill. I do have one, and it works really well, but for a budget PC, it doesn’t make much sense.
if you don't mind going up to 120 I'd say this is a solid mid teir mobo
Take the ASUS ROG STRIX B350-F GAMING for example.
The Asus page says 2600 was "Validated since" BIOS version 1803. Does " Validated since PCB" mean it will boot?
The Newegg page doesn't say anything about "Zen+" or "2600."
The Amazon page doesn't either. There is a review that says Ryzen 2000-compatible boxes have a sticker on it, which you won't see until it's been shipped to you.
If there's a chance someone building a new system gets a motherboard that's not compatible with their CPU, that's an issue.
edit- Meant to say 2600, not 1600.
Prime day deal has this board for $99. I'm speculating that when the ram deal goes live it'll be appx $50-$60, so you could potentially be looking at $150 instead of $217
X470 is $99 on Prime day right now. I do not know if it is compatible, just throwing it out there
I hope I am not being too bold but I recommend the Gigabyte X470 Aorus Gaming 7. You can get the non-wifi version for $131. I like it because it is designed for people who like overclocking and it caters to the octacore Ryzens well.
Here is a youtube video that examines the components very closely. He does the same for other X470 motherboards so I feel they would be interesting for you.
https://youtu.be/lNRQZkYB0ns
Amazon Warehouse has a damaged box one for $109 currently.
https://www.amazon.com/GIGABYTE-X470-AORUS-ULTRA-GAMING/dp/B07BZ239Z2/
The wifi version is typically $240, but I found the Amazon Warehouse damaged box one is $190.
https://www.amazon.com/GIGABYTE-X470-AORUS-Gaming-WIFI/dp/B07BVNYFM2?
As usual with Gigabyte, they have this obsession with Realtek audio driver that borks up whenever it has the chance. I don't know if you'd experience it, but the audio driver tends to mess up in my gigabyte boarss. That's just something i've always experienced with Gigabyte.
Edit: Oh shit I just noticed that the cheaper one lacks the heat sink for the VRM and second M.2 slot. Then the wifi one is better for more reasons than wifi...
Thats a massive ripoff for a b350 motherboard. Get a much better x470 motherboard like this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07BZ239Z2/?tag=pcpapi-20
Also, check out this mobo for $99 with prime https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07BZ239Z2/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1
phanteks p300 is a decent cheap case, don't bother getting new ram while ryzen does benefit from the speed the money you'd spend isn't worth it, https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-Prime-X470-Pro-Ryzen-Motherboard/dp/B07C57Q1XH/ref=sr_1_3?crid=3MTB4YNDHB6L0&keywords=asus+x470+pro&qid=1565252095&s=gateway&sprefix=asus+x470+%2Caps%2C185&sr=8-3 this is a decent mobo if you want an alternative, and for gpu it all depends if you want to switch monitors and or have rtx

Way better than the b450 boards and only 10$ more (it's 150$ right now) also, if you got the white 220t it colour-match the case !
The x470 Strix is better and I would get that over the prime but if you want to save 10$, it's also a good option. if you are a novice then you don't need the extra features of the strix…
The X570 boards around 200$ have poor audio and and have midrange features compared to high end x470 boards (like prime and strix), totally not worth it imo.
Buy an Amazon warehouse deal. It's a brand new working board that somebody returned.

Sub 100, look in new and used section.
Regarding RAM, amd is a little more sensitive to speed. You can read all about it, but basically you should buy some ram that's advertised as 3200MHz and easily OCs to 3600MHz since that's the sweet spot for total system performance leverage. Check out buildapcsales subreddit for the 16gb "on sale kit of the week." Usually some ballistix for like $70
Nice! I ended up going with the MSI x470

Super excited for my first build but I think I made a mistake. I recently purchased this ram (G.SKill TridentZ non AMD) for my Ryzen 2700x build with this motherboard (MSI X470 Gaming Plus). I didn't realize the RAM was optimized for Intel until just now (Darn holiday sales). Should I return the RAM and purchase the one optimized for AMD or will this be alright?
I was looking at these,

If you plan on doing any overclocking, there is a good motherboard tier list based on VRM's.
Also if you don't have an older generation Ryzen chip... You will want to check the list of motherboards that supports USB BIOS Flashback. This feature will allow you to flash the bios to the newer Zen 2 supporting bios without needing an older gen Ryzen chip. You may want to cross reference both of the lists.
The B450 Tomahawk is pretty reliable for the price and was just on sale (currently $100 on Amazon). It has decent VRM's, and it also supports the USB BIOS Flashback feature mentioned earlier. I personally just picked one up a few days ago on the last sale and plan to use that for my upcoming Zen 2 PC.
Wishing you luck on your future build!
PS: If you don't have a power supply yet, there is also a good PSU Tier list.
Amazon is very flexible. Some items have free returns https://www.amazon.com/MSI-Crossfire-Motherboard-B450-Tomahawk/dp/B07F7W5KJS/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=b450+tomahawk&qid=1564295902&s=gateway&sr=8-1 for example.
If you claim its broken they pay the shipping fee, but if you put not needed anymore you havev to pay it
dont feel bad, its a huge company
Appreciate it, I'll just keep replying here if that's cool. Don't mind either way about PM but I do find lurkers might appreciate some of the advice. I'm set on the 2600, and its now 185 on Amazon so that helps. I'm pretty set on the tomahawk Mobo too which I think is lowest if you have prime.
I would like to see pics of the case, I hate the one I have its so dull and bulky but not also huge fan of the "I'M A GAMER" cases, which seem overpriced regardless. One you have is nice.
I might upgrade to a 1070 in a year+, from what I can tell that still pairs nicely with a 2600 but wanted to check. and lastly I do have 16 Gb of Ram but would consider getting some that works best with the Mobo and amd, did you already have Ram or did you buy to compliment the board.
edit: also would love a quite setup, my computer makes a decent amount of noise and I use it as part of the entertainment system.
What's the usage? Is this a budget build? How much RAM you need? is your case ATX or mATX?
For CPU, only 3600 will fit your budget out of the decent ones. Any lower and you'd be stepping into APU territory for low-budget builds.
Example combo: [3600] (https://www.amazon.com/AMD-Ryzen-3600-12-Thread-Processor/dp/B07STGGQ18) ($195) + 16 GB RAM ($78) + B450 Tomahawk ($115) = $388.
This is US$ right, not Canadian or Australian?
Depends. How much are you looking to spend on one? if you are looking for something under $120 I can say this is pretty good. [I have heard many good things and have seen it used a lot.] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07F7W5KJS/) Has good overclocking capabilities and still has the m.2 slot.
Well for cpu the ryzen 2600 is the best value cpu out there and gives great 1080p performance.
There are good b450 board like the Tomohawk b450 board which will fit right in that case I believe: https://www.amazon.com/MSI-Crossfire-Motherboard-B450-Tomahawk/dp/B07F7W5KJS

is available now , and will save u a lot of money with 3600 u don't need it.
It's listed, but says shipping in 1 to 2 months.
Hey, I'm not the OP, but just wanted to say I went with your build, got everything together this past Friday and am very, very happy. The motherboard was backordered on Amazon so instead I went with: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07FWVJSHC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
The only hiccup was the fan on the case panel with the window bumped right into the video card, so I yanked it and relocated to the front of the case.
I haven't built a pc from scratch in 12+ years (been living the MacBook life in grad school), so this was very helpful.
Cheers!
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07FWVJSHC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
just picked that up as as i type for $60USD on amazon. its not feature rich, but it's gonna be used for my old R5 1600 that i just upgraded to 3600X. it is a mATX board, dont know if that matters to you.
Seconded. Change CPU to R5 3600 and motherboard to MSI B450 Tomahawk Max. Swap SSD to Sabrent Rocket 512GB NVME. OEM Windows license will not be transferrable to your next PC, so maybe spend extra for retail version.
I just asked a friend and he told me the graphics card is in the mother board. here’s the motherboard
Thanks! One last question: Does this have the same specs as the one you suggested? Only difference seems to be it doesn't come with onboard WiFi and has a DVI port which I doubt I'll ever use.
Yes, it has been a great help. After looking around this motherboard seems to tick the most boxes with PCIE 4.0 for my SSDs and an upgraded ethernet port. The only downside from this and the next closest x570 that I can find (which is the ASUS Prime posted below) is a reduced number of gen-2 UBS ports. But, the ASUS board has a reported problem with the placement of a cooling fan that makes you unable to place larger graphics cards in the reinforced PCI slot. I think I will look for some cheaper ram, though. Any DDR-3600 should work, right?
What would be the main downside to going to something like an MSI Tomahawk B450? It seems to list almost all of the same features as these x570 boards.
Would it be better to get the [Asus x570-P] (https://www.amazon.com/Asus-Prime-X570-P-Ryzen-Motherboard/dp/B07SW925DR/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=x570-p&qid=1572037337&sr=8-2) or the MSI B450 Tomahawk Max? for a 3600?
Ok word. I was thinking about https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07FWVJSHC/ref=ox_sc_act_image_12?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1&th=1

So what I have right now is :
i5-3470, 16gb ddr3, h67 board, and I am looking to upgrade, up to lets say 450-500$, CPU+MB+RAM.
PSU is Seasonic M12II 620W Bronze +80.
has to be Amazon/Newegg or something that ships outside of US.
Thought about Ryzen 3600 (3600X if the 200$ Amazon deal comes back)
3000/3200Mhz RAM - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0134EW7G8/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_2?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1
or: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07MNJP6RW/ref=ox_sc_act_title_6?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1
and MB:
B450 Tomahawk MAX - 115$ https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07WF6ZQST/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1
Now 2 questions:
Thank you guys!
That only seems to be about 20 bucks more at the moment - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07WF6ZQST/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A1FJ9SEK1UVDTX&psc=1
I'm looking for a good ATX motherboard deal. Stopped at this one for now. There's a catch though - I'm using a forwarding service to deliver it basically to the opposite point of the globe, so I want to know that the QA is decent and I won't get it dead on arrival, or otherwise I'd go with Asrock. Are there any better ones in a similar price range/good deals on semi-decent boards?
Edit: For anyone curious, this one appears to be far superior as for a similar price it supports Ryzen 3rd gen (3600 for instance) out of the box.
Same. I found it on amazon, but I don't see a good sale. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07WF6ZQST/ref=twister_B07ZHY844C?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
Thank you for your build. I do have a couple questions:
CPU: Looks great
Motherboard: Pc PartPicker warning: Some AMD B450 chipset motherboards may need a BIOS update prior to using Matisse CPUs. Upgrading the BIOS may require a different CPU that is supported by older BIOS revisions.
Also, I see there is an MSI B450 Tomahawk MAX on amazon for $10 more than the Gaming Plus MAX. It seems to be very similar, the main difference to me is the color scheme. Are these actually similarly performing motherboards, and would I create issues by using the Tomahawk for the preferred color scheme? Link: https://www.amazon.com/MSI-Crossfire-Motherboard-B450-Tomahawk/dp/B07WF6ZQST/ref=sr_1_2?crid=3L1UL77PVON4S&keywords=b450+tomahawk+max&qid=1570719603&s=electronics&sprefix=b450+toma%2Celectronics%2C184&sr=1-2
Memory: Looks great
Storage: Looks great
Video Card: Looks great. Only question is PowerColor vs XFX. The XFX seems to be $20 cheaper. Not sure why. Link: https://www.amazon.com/XFX-Radeon-GDDR6-Graphics-RX-57XL8MFG6/dp/B07T81CGFY
Power supply: On board with this. That said, I've never had an issue with the power supply. Is this more of a "Fix it before it inevitably breaks" or some other reason?
Case: I'm pretty sure I shouldn't have space issues with my case. There's enough room to almost fit a second motherboard of the size I have. That said, after your recommendations I still have between $60-100 I could spend on a case. The current one I have is just solid black metal. Pretty old and outdated. Would you happen to have a recommendation on a case that maybe has some windows or isn't just a blob?
Again, thank you for your input.
I bought one off of the link you supplied since I've read nothing but good things for the Tomahawk. Wanted to make sure I got the MAX version though, and it was hard to find for sure. I guess they're restocking them since Amazon seems to have it now too:
https://www.amazon.com/MSI-Crossfire-Motherboard-B450-Tomahawk/dp/B07WF6ZQST/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=b450+tomahawk+max&qid=1571176271&sr=8-2
If you are going to overclock; you can get the 2600 + a board such as this one with the 4+3 VRM config (I'm just parroting information here... I'm not actually sure of the true meaning of that.)

otherwise, if you do not want to overclock, go with the 2600X.
TBH though, either one should be more than fine for your needs and is a lot better than upgrading to an i3-7100 or something for example.
Got the info from this site (in German):

Notes:
GPU - I was also considering the 5700XT which gets pretty cheap at Micro Center. I feel like the 2070 Super is worth the upgrade, but I'd like some input here.
Mobo - I was also looking at the Asrock B450 which is $65 cheaper at Micro Center when combined with the CPU. I was reading that you need a 2nd Gen Ryzen to flash the BIOS though? Also that it's not as good for overclocking.
Windows - Is this guide for free windows legit? https://www.windowscentral.com/you-do-not-need-activate-windows-10
Cooling - Are there any cooling concerns with this build? Aftermarket coolers I should buy or fans I should add to the case?
General advice - I've built a PC in the past but just kind of plugging everything in and hoping it worked. Any guides that you could give me would be appreciated. Voltages to check, how to overclock the CPU, overclocking the RAM, any fine tuning for the GPU, testing to make sure the IPS monitor doesn't have backlight bleeding, I've never used a modular power supply before, etc.
Probably the best you can do for gaming at $400:
I'm using this board MSI Arsenal Gaming AMD Ryzen 1st and 2nd Gen AM4 M.2 USB 3 DDR4 DVI HDMI Crossfire ATX Motherboard (B450 Tomahawk) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07F7W5KJS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_557MDbQRGRNSS
Or this one for a cheaper option. Still nice tho

Have you checked this motherboard? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07F7W5KJS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_aGK4DbSF6PBDZ
You might have good luck with pricing in your area, but under $500 for just three parts would be quite easy. r5 2600 + msi b450 tomahawk + Corsair 16gb 3000mhz comes out to <$300.
If you prefer 3rd gen ryzen: r5 3600 + asus tuf x570 (wifi) + same Corsair ram comes out to <$450.
Cool thanks! I was just curious because this is the one that I’m planning on getting and it says only 1st and 2nd gen.

would this be better?
would one of the MSI tomahawk mobo work as well?
&#x200B;
looking at this one https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07F7W5KJS/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1
I may go with the 3600X due to the availability issues of the 3600 if I order in the next day or two. The money I would be saving by buying the B450 mobo instead makes it come out to the same total price.
&#x200B;
By the way, here is what I am looking at currently:
B450 mobo - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07F7W5KJS/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1
Corsair DDR4 3200 2x8GB RAM - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B072LX99L9/ref=ox_sc_act_title_3?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1
Ryzen 5 3600K - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07SQBFN2D/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1
Is this the motherboard that you have; https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07F7W5KJS/ref=ox_sc_act_image_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&amp;psc=1 cause I’m thinking of buying it if it does support Ryzen Zen 2
Does anyone know if the 450 Tomahawk is a good price for $99? Amazon link.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07F7W5KJS/ref=crt_ewc_title_oth_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER this is the one right?

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07F85YKLJ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1

Looking for something roomy to make installation easy. Will be moving from current case I dont like.

MSI Performance Gaming AMD Ryzen 1st and 2nd Gen AM4 M.2 USB 3 DDR4 HDMI Display Port WiFi Crossfire ATX Motherboard (B450 Gaming PRO Carbon AC) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07F85YKLJ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_3QvhDbV7K0H78
This one?
Was on Amazon, looks like it's currently out of stock though.
I have this one
https://www.amazon.com/MSI-Performance-Motherboard-B450-PRO/dp/B07F85YKLJ
But I despise WiFi and only use wired connections.
Msi b450 gaming pro carbon ac. I got one for my build and it has an argb header.
Edit: https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/B450-GAMING-PRO-CARBON-AC
https://www.amazon.com/MSI-Performance-Motherboard-B450-PRO/dp/B07F85YKLJ
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.newegg.com/amp/msi-performance-gaming-b450-gaming-pro-carbon-ac/p/N82E16813144188
I'm leaning towards this build, but just have a question regarding the motherboard. Is this https://www.amazon.com/MSI-Performance-Motherboard-B450-AC/dp/B07F85YKLJ the one you're suggesting?
Are you referring to the B450 TOMAHAWK? That's $100 after $10 rebate. Both don't have the best VRM (MSI has a better heatsink though). I'd get the MSI B450 GAMING PRO CARBON AC.
Edit: For $25 more dollars you can get this 16GB memory kit.
Would the MSI B450 Gaming Pro Carbon AC mobo work well for plugging in these headphones?
Thank you again, I have another question if you don't mind, would supplementing the B450 Gaming PRO Carbon AC) for the B450 Tomahawk, work and eliminate the need for the WiFi adapter?
https://www.amazon.com/MSI-Crossfire-Motherboard-B450-Tomahawk/dp/B07F85YKLJ/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1541974760&sr=1-1-fkmr0&keywords=MSI%2BB450%2BTOMAHAWK%2BAM4%2BAMD%2BB450%2BSATA%2B6Gb%2Fs%2BUSB%2B3.1%2BHDMI%2BATX%2BAMD%2BMotherboard&th=1
motherboard is overkill AF. Simmer down that mobo to a b450 with wifi if you want wifi. Something like this https://www.amazon.com/MSI-Performance-Motherboard-B450-PRO/dp/B07F85YKLJ?psc=1&SubscriptionId=AKIAILSHYYTFIVPWUY6Q&tag=duckduckgo-d-20&linkCode=xm2&camp=2025&creative=165953&creativeASIN=B07F85YKLJ
If you can afford it go for the ddr4-3200. You're already going big with the ryzen 7, might as well get top shelf RAM for it
Also you can get a Ti for almost the same price as the 1070.
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/Z6BTwP/evga-geforce-gtx-1070-ti-8gb-ftw-ultra-silent-gaming-video-card-08g-p4-6678-kr
Judging off your ram selection, if you want a little more rgb I'd recommend the MSI b450 gaming pro carbon motherboard (it's not listed on pcpartpicker)
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07F85YKLJ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_g9bUBbKTSYKGJ
These are just some nice little spec bumps. Even without my suggestions you should have no problem with your build at 1080p.
it just means that if you use the m2 slot, 2 sata ports will be disabled.
btw, if need wifi adapter, i suggest you get the b450 gaming pro carbon. that mobo comes with great vrms and has builtin wifi.

All with WiFi:
Best B450:
https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B07F85YKLJ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_Au9WDbJ3P9VT8
Best value X570:
ASUS AM4 TUF Gaming X570-Plus (Wi-Fi)
Same one you were recommended but with Wi-Fi and it's in stock on Newegg https://m.newegg.com/product/N82E16813119197?m_ver=1
Both offer similar features and are very reliable, it comes down to preference. The newer X570 that might get better upgrade options, or the B450 that's a tad cheaper and will probably still offer great CPU options down the road.
Same price on amazon. Should I get this for ryzen 5 3600x? There a people complaining in the reviews that it did not work for their 3600x.
https://www.amazon.ca/Performance-Gaming-Display-Crossfire-Motherboard/dp/B07F85YKLJ
Where do you see the pro carbon ac for 135? Do you have a link?
https://www.amazon.ca/Performance-Motherboard-B450-PRO-AC/dp/B07F85YKLJ is this not it?
My mobo: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07F85YKLJ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_TONWCb1C8XEVP
MSI Pro Carbon Out of stock right now on Amazon but pretty sure other places will have it
Alright so the B450 Gaming Pro is what I need, but I just saw the price and it is too much. https://www.amazon.ae/gp/product/B07F85YKLJ/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?smid=A2QUTRSO1ZHRN9&th=1
It is 350 USD. While the B450 tomahawk is half of that.
Yeah I already changed it to the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO.
&#x200B;
So the motherboard can only handle 4 case fan connectors. So if I want more, I need to get a splitter? I don't understand. So I should only get the maximum 4 fans total for the whole case?
&#x200B;
I also want to add that I want to OC my GPU and CPU later on.
This baby right here? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07F85YKLJ/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&amp;psc=1
Well, that is settled then, thanks! Perhaps the only question I have left is how the hell do I pick a good PSU.
Thanks for the response, after reading your comment and doing even more research, I think I'm going to get this mobo: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07F85YKLJ/ref=ox_sc_act_title_4?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1
Seems to be one of the best and it's only a few more dollars than the one I was looking at, plus it comes with WIFI so I don't have to buy an adapter.
Thanks!
AMD B450 series.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07FW85VFT/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&amp;psc=1
All the research I've done suggests these are fairly comparable boards.
I think I found it - I think I found it - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07F85YKLJ/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&amp;psc=1
Has that damn AC WiFi that I will disable as I prefer good old Cat 7 lan hardwire.
Oh, check out its bios - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bu9ZD18a9CY
In your opinion for what I'm playing could I go with the cheaper option of tomahawk and still get good performance? Would it be the same steps for updating? Some examples of other ones I've looked at

yeah don't go with that MB it's over priced with bad features go with this one instead. IDK what happened to the list but i'm changing it. get this one. https://www.amazon.com/ROG-Strix-B450-F-Gaming-Motherboard/dp/B07FKTZC4M/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=am4+motherboards&qid=1565743868&s=electronics&sr=1-2

This is with a little under $200 more

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07FKTZC4M/ref=cm_sw_r_oth_api_i_-D.EDbMER1X97
Not looking to OC as it doesn't provide any differnce or boost in dota so. I was thinking of Asus . But you mentioned Asrock and Gigabyte. Heard some stories bad one from gigabyte users too but hey. There will always be some negative reviews to anything . So that's that . asrock and gigabyte . Thanks for that too. And how's this

I've been looking to upgrade my motherboard and these are the three I have been looking at.
ROG Strix B450-F Gaming Motherboard
TUF B450-Plus Gaming Motherboard
B450 Tomahawk
Was hoping to get some advice on which motherboard would be best.
would you recommend this (Strix X470) or this (Strix B350) or (Strix B450) or one of these?
(i looked at gaming pro carbon but a friend recommended strix and i dont know wich
I'd recommend maybe a gtx 1060 if you're sticking to 1080x1920 monitors, and spend maybe a little more on a better motherboard, for better cooling and overclocking performance, and also better esthetics, maybe this:
https://www.amazon.com/ROG-Strix-B450-F-Gaming-Motherboard/dp/B07FKTZC4M/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1538458158&sr=8-1&keywords=asus+rog+strix+b450f#customerReviews
is this the same? https://www.amazon.com/ROG-Strix-B450-F-Gaming-Motherboard/dp/B07FKTZC4M/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1543266205&amp;sr=8-2&amp;keywords=b450+pro+carbon
I have a 4790K and 980ti and get around 90-100 fps at 1440p. Finding a cheap 4770k or 4790k is probably your cheapest route to a bit more fps. Otherwise I'd probably suggest an R5 2600 for around $160; 16GB of DDR4 Pc3200 for ~$130 and a B450 mobo for around $125. That would bring your total to right around $415 before tax/shipping.
I think you will need to review your asking price.

You see, the thing is, I can go days without this power issue occurring. But, like you, when it does happen, it is totally random and seemingly unrelated to desktop application usage. It happens when I pause a YouTube video then walk away to eat dinner, and it happens in the middle of CS:GO matches. It happens after maximizing my GPU overclock and while playing No Man's Sky, and it happens while I'm actively surfing the web. I have found no reasonable explanation, because I've also found it to happen when I have iTunes open while I'm playing a video game. So, even if I can get the issue to not occur for a whole day, that is still not enough evidence that a change of mine has effectively stopped the issue.

Maybe I'm an ASUS fanboy but is something like this enough?
Nice, I've bee. Thinking about getting the Asus Strix with a 2700 to upgrade from my 6600k.
https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B07FKTZC4M/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_4avOBb2BBVGSA
Just waiting for more reviews.
I bet Paul's Hardware or Bitwit do B450 build soon, benchmarks and workout any spacing questions.

You do not have to buy these! Btw change the mobo to an E if you want Wi-Fi or buy a pci card, Wi-Fi usb dongle.
https://nz.pcpartpicker.com/ check out this website too. It is for new Zealand
Change the parts as you wish. The Amazon page is for new Zealand (I hope).
Every time you choose your parts just search in Google "power supply calculator" select "outervison". So that you know just how much wattage you will need :)
Does anyone have a minute to do a compatibility check for a novice?
I have the following system:

I recently learned my Motherboard is bad, so I'm looking to replace the following:
&#x200B;
Motherboard - https://www.amazon.com/ROG-Strix-B450-F-Gaming-Motherboard/dp/B07FKTZC4M/

RAM - https://www.amazon.com/Timetec-Performance-Unbuffered-High-Performance-Compatible/dp/B07P6F97B1/
&#x200B;
I have a couple questions, but biggest thing is to make sure the above three items will work with my other components prior to pulling the trigger.
Would a ASUS ROG Strix B450-F mobo have the BIOS for a 3rd gen ryzen (5 3600X) already installed? https://smile.amazon.com/ROG-Strix-B450-F-Gaming-Motherboard/dp/B07FKTZC4M
Can someone recommend a mobo in the $100 range for AMD 5 3600? I’m using pcpartspicker, but it keeps giving me a compatibility warning. Thanks!
This is what I’ve got from Amazon right now.

Hi, im kind of nooby, could you recommend me a PSU ?
&#x200B;
I switched my Original MOBO to this one: ASUS ROG Strix B450-F Gaming Motherboard (ATX) AMD Ryzen 2 AM4 DDR4 DP HDMI M.2 USB 3.1 Gen2 B450
&#x200B;
and my RAM to this one: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 DRAM 3200MHz C16 Desktop Memory Kit - Black (CMK16GX4M2B3200C16)
B450 MAX isn't for purchase atm, at least not in the US. How about this board though?
Here is a ASRock B450M-HDV for $65. It has two ram slots.
I just picked up the ASRock B450M PRO4 for $80. It’s a little more, but has 4 RAM slots and RGB headers. I like it so far.
If these don’t work, I can look around some more. Is form factor an issue? Anything specific you’re looking for?
Not really there's a "second" cable that deals with RGB only, not the power to the fan.
they are the round pinned cable here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075FKL6C1/
the arrow on the cable points to PIN 1 on the motherboard.
On the motherboard they are the white connectors if you look at the 1st picture here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07FVYKFXF
It's Labeled RGB Header1, (Bottom left corner) and it looks like you only have the one connection point, so you'll need a splitter to extend to each fan that has it.
12V G R B and next to it is ADDR_LED1
So your motherboard can have addressable RGB and Synchronized RGB fans.
Better board
ASRock MicroATX Motherboard (B450M PRO4) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07FVYKFXF/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_6mBrDb1TE9MZJ
My top recommendation would be this board.
MSI B450M Gaming Plus - $84.99
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07F7WQDZJ/?tag=pcpapi-20
If you absolutely can't spare the extra $4.99, then the runner up would be this board
ASRock B450m Pro 4 - $69.99
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07FVYKFXF/?tag=pcpapi-20
No problem
https://www.amazon.com/ASRock-MicroATX-Motherboard-B450M-PRO4/dp/B07FVYKFXF
I see. I am more familiar witht the GTX series cards... Would the 1660 work with my Mobo?
Can I support two monitors with this motherboard: ASRock B450M PRO4 MicroATX ( https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B07FVYKFXF/?tag=pcpapi-20&sa-no-redirect=1 )? The monitors I'm looking to use are these AOC 22V2H 22" ( https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B07GF4S4B8/?tag=pcpapi-20&sa-no-redirect=1&th=1 ). The motherboard has one hdmi, one dvi, and one vga, and I wanted to make sure that I can mix and match different ports on the monitors and have it still work.
I was also wondering if anyone had any input on the AOC monitors I was planning on buying above.
Thanks!

is 450w realy enough to power a 580? im just curious idk how much power it pulls. Also im actualy looking for a budget pc for 1080p gaming, mainly overwatch and wow. if i replace the cpu with a 2200g and maybe replace the mobo with this one https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07FVYKFXF/?tag=pcpapi-20
any idea what fps i would get in ow on high?
Thanks for the reply, I have a pretty large case with loads of room, so size shouldn’t be an issue, and yes I will need DDR4 ram. RAM is super expensive! And I’ve got a GTX 1060 6gb so I’m good there. It looks like I’ll be going for the B450 then awesome. Thank you very much again for the help. Would this work?

Hopefully mini-ITX isn't an issue?
The ASRock - B450 GAMING-ITX/AC mITX is on Amazon.DE for €114.99: https://www.amazon.de/dp/B07FVVNDFX/?tag=pcp05-21
MSI also has the B450I Gaming Plus AC for one Euro more: https://www.amazon.de/dp/B07FNMLCTC/?tag=pcp05-21
Edit: If you do go the route of a separate WiFi card, this mATX B450 is the cheapest I could find on Amazon. https://www.amazon.de/ASRock-m-ATX-D-Sub-HDMI-Retail/dp/B07FVYKFXF
The ASRock B450M Pro4 is a better mATX-sized choice than the ASUS Prime B450M-A.

I recommend this https://www.microcenter.com/product/509732/asrock-b450m-pro4-am4-matx-amd-motherboard
Good reviews at newegg and amazon
Note: it is quite basic and has limited OC options. For example, max DRAM voltage is 1.4V and max cpu offset is -0.1V (? - not 100% sure on this one)
So I shouldn't have any problems with this motherboard? https://www.amazon.com/ASRock-MicroATX-Motherboard-B450M-PRO4/dp/B07FVYKFXF

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07ZHWQ81N#Ask and my case is a focus g mini (here’s the mobo that says it’s 3000 ready) https://www.amazon.com/ASRock-MicroATX-Motherboard-B450M-PRO4/dp/B07FVYKFXF/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?keywords=asrock+b450m+pro4&amp;qid=1574005281&amp;sprefix=asro&amp;sr=8-1 it says it on the pictures and some reviews
Understandable. Right now AMD has a much better line of cpus in terms of price to performance. Which is why he asked. I would go with a Ryzen platform over Intel atm. You'll save a lot of money, and you'll get much more for it at the mid range and high end skus. You can't go wrong with a ryzen 5 2600 or 3600. Some good boards to look at would be the Asrock B450m Pro4, the MSI B450 Tamahawk, or the Gigabyte B450 Aorus. Any of those are good choices and have plenty of features you'd probably want.
Each of the AsRock B450 boards I've ordered from Amazon and built with recently has not only come with an updated BIOS for 3rd gen, they also advertise as such on the Amazon page (see 5th image from the top on the left side of the page).
This is what I'm looking at. https://www.amazon.com/ASRock-MicroATX-Motherboard-B450M-PRO4/dp/B07FVYKFXF
The Asrock has questions and reviews that say they needed to update. Newer reviews indicate that they didn't need to update. And the box in the photo says 3000 series ready. I'm assuming that they initially weren't but that they've since made sure that they are updated. Otherwise is this a decent board? I know nothing about mobos. I have an Asrock mobo now and it's been great for my needs
Look into getting a B450 motherboard (eg, ASRock B450M Pro4 for $70) and pair it with a Ryzen 5 1600 or 2600 (~$118 with cooler), and substitute the RX 5700 non-XT instead to save money there. They can be had for as low as $289 (current low price seems to be about $320) and most cards can be BIOS flashed to near XT level performance. Add 16GB of DDR4-3200 CL16 memory for $60 and you're off to the proverbial races. Build cost for CPU+MB+GPU+RAM: ~$550.
If your budget is extremely tight, you might even want to look at using an RX 580 8GB for about $180 and dialing back some detail settings. This will bring the build cost down to about $430. If you're one of the chosen few who live near a Microcenter, they have bundle discounts and lower cost in-store special pricing that could get you down to around $350.
Regardless, the X4 will not provide good performance, gaming or otherwise.

I also come from console and just switched a couple months ago and it's a lot better. I run this setup except with a Ryzen 3 2200g which I got because I didn't have a gpu at first. I can currently run gta at 1080p high 60+ fps but this one will handle games better
Here is a good motherboard, and for the case, you can use this one.
i have thishttps://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07FVYKFXF/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Can't see that its mentioned anywhere?
If you want a Gigabyte mobo you should switch to this one. It has better features and built in WiFi. It will cost just a shade less than your current board with the WiFi card add on.

I like the gigabyte aorus b450 pro wifi. I've used it a few times and its easy to work with and ran with no issues. Looks nice in a tempered glass case too. They were on sale for around $100 on prime day, a little more now. They go on sale pretty often though.

There's two options. You can spend a little more on a wifi adapter that supports both wifi and bluetooth like this one: https://www.amazon.com/PCE-AC55BT-B1-Wireless-AC1200-Bluetooth-Adapter/dp/B0713RRZMB/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1542774149&amp;sr=1-3&amp;keywords=pcie%2Bbluetooth&amp;th=1
However that's going to bring the cost up a little higher and you could be better off making your build look a little more aesthetically pleasing by going with a board that already has wifi and bluetooth built in: https://www.amazon.com/GIGABYTE-B450-AORUS-PRO-WIFI/dp/B07FW85VFT/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1542774433&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=gigabyte+b450

There's still the X470 board on the list, I assume it's there because you overlooked it, not because you want two motherboards.
The gpu choice is solid, can't really comment on chassis choice, as it's definitely not my aesthetics, but CM makes solid cases in terms of production quality, so if you dig the looks - it will be fine.
Make sure to check in here before making the final purchase (unless you do that in like a week or two), a lot can change in hardware market in just a few weeks, and your choice, while it's optimal by now, might be totally invalid come next month.
Btw, have you figured in what order you want to make your purchases? I would normally advice on getting the gpu first, as you won't be able to use any of the rest until the whole lot arrives, but, as the next gen nvidia gpus are to drop next week, it might be worth it to sit on this one. Only high end ($600+) gpus are slated for release on the 20th, but the mid range should soon follow (it's usually within two weeks to a month), maybe nvidia would want to one up AMD for the mid range card with something, and even if they won't, at least the current gen prices will go down a bit.
Msi make the tomohawk right? Ive heard nothing great about they're motherboards. Sour taste in my mouth. Looking at

Thanks a bunch for the feedback! I initially had this B450 board, any thoughts on the differences between this and the MSI you picked?

Notes:
Went with a different Mobo that supports 2nd gen chips from Ryzen and has WiFi built in. The other Mobo I recommended would have required a WiFi card. The price is essentially the same if you consider a decent WiFi card will be 40-50$.
The RX590 comes with a free game.
I put the 2700x in the build as you mentioned you do some workstation style tasks. The 3600 will outperform it in games but not enough to say the 2700x isn’t a good chip to game on.
If you would rather the 3600, you’ll need someone to update the bios for you if you go to a physical MemEx location,
the 3600 is currently out of stock at MemEx last night when I checked.
The 2700x has been on and off sale prices lots lately so if you feel like saving 20$ you could wait a bit.
Storage wise if you feel that 480gb is not enough for you currently you could opt for a small SSD just for windows and throw a larger HDD in just for storage.
SSD + HDD price beat from here = 82.28$ instead of 64.99$ for the larger SSD.
the 650w cx650m PSU is way more then you’ll need with this current build but does offer headroom for hungrier CPU and GPU down the line. It’s the same price as the cx550m atm but the 550 has a nail in rebate of 20$ making it 59.99$ if you have the patience for MIR and want to get 20$ back down the road it will also be plenty good enough for this build.
Technically a 450w could power this rig but I like to keep a 100w headroom on PSU’s so I’d say 550w minimum.
For the case, I recommend the shit out of this FD Focus. 2 decent fans, nice design inside for airflow, filtered mesh front over intake fans and beginners can cable manage in it. It’s also 60$ right now which is killer imo.
Lastly, this is by no means the cheapest route, you could probably save a bit going through other retailers for certain parts MemEx doesn’t carry but I like simplicity.
GL, any questions just ask.
GIGABYTE B450 AORUS PRO WIFI (AMD Ryzen AM4/M.2 Thermal Guard with Onboard WIFI/HDMI/DVI/USB 3.1 Gen 2/DDR4/ATX/Motherboard)
I don’t have a motherboard yet, but I’m planning on getting this:
https://www.amazon.com/GIGABYTE-B450-AORUS-PRO-WIFI/dp/B07FW85VFT
And my graphics card is an rx 580 8gb
I recently found a deal at micro center with the Gigabyte b450 AORUS pro wifi do you know if this board has better on board sound.
I'm planning on buying this MOBO:
Which, when I check the list of supported RAMs here, I see only up to 2666 / 2999 MHz are supported.
&#x200B;
This just means that if I buy a 3200MHz RAM, I'll have to change the speed manually in the BIOS, but it will work, right?
Thanks for answering!
&#x200B;
Wrong Motherboard link. Here's the correct one. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07FW85VFT/ref=ox_sc_act_title_7?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1
Honestly? Save your money.
A basic board by a good manufacturer will run these sub-100w TDP chips just fine, even mildly overclocked.
The B450-DS3H is $70, and is warrantied just as long as those more expensive boards.
https://www.amazon.com/GIGABYTE-B450M-DS3H-Ryzen-Motherboard/dp/B07FWVJSHC/ref=sr_1_6?crid=2R7ZVZ5P5F0B5&amp;keywords=b450+motherboard&amp;qid=1566689550&amp;s=electronics&amp;sprefix=b450+%2Celectronics%2C137&amp;sr=1-6
Those higher end boards show their merit mainly in power delivery/stability in extreme overclocking the thirstiest chips like the 3950X.
Also, I'm not sure if you prefer MSI or not. But Gigabyte has a 450M board for around $70. Figured you can use that to save money or get something better. Maybe get a better GPU or a 3600x.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07FWVJSHC/?tag=pcpapi-20
I don't think there is going to be much around that price point, but if your able to spend around 20$ more, I would recommend the B450M-DS3H board from Gigabyte. It has good ram expansion (4 slots, 64 GB max), an M.2 slot, and 8 USB slots for the IO. Given it's price, it's worth looking into.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07FWVJSHC/?tag=pcpapi-20

Amazon Warehouse Deal with 20% off makes this around $53 I think. Not sure how well it would do for an overclocked 2600, but it's not garbo tier in VRM's according to the image below
https://i.redd.it/7n48gewun0p21.png
But you can probably find a better used one like an asrock b450m pro4 from someone else if they're selling one. Just wanted to give you options!
I'm not sure that the a320 boards will work with Ryzen 5 without a BIOS update. Get a B450 series board if you want to avoid that(like this).
&#x200B;
&#x200B;
Do you think it's worth going for a packaged board like that or should I switch to a cheaper one like this? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07FWVJSHC/?tag=pcpapi-20

I'm building 2200G + 2x4 GB RAM, SATA SSD+ 450 PSU.
Can I go with this or this? Or is there a better and cheaper MoBo? Also, please help me in choosing RAM. I'm confused with single channel vs dual channel, UDIMM vs RDIMM and 2400 vs 3000 Mhz.
> Any other boards will not support 3000 series out of the box unless explicitly stated.
Please stop spreading nonsense like this on reddit. The very first search result on Amazon is a GIGABYTE B450M DS3H that says absolutely nothing about 3rd gen Ryzen 3xxx CPUs and yet they're fully supported.

This is the board I have, I would look around to see if you can find it cheaper.
List of 1155 compatible mobos (https://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&amp;N=100007627%20600093976&amp;IsNodeId=1&amp;bop=And&amp;Order=REVIEWS&amp;PageSize=36)
Id probably go with this one
It has the highest reviews and most stars on most sites when talking about mobos with 1155s but it seems to be a little pricey IMO.
you can use pcpartpicker.com and select the exact cpu you have and etc to get a compatibility check just to make sure.
Have a look at this.

My friend actually has this motherboard and it is quite good
Well I just ordered
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007KTY4A6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_6-8DxbJQGNYR2
And I'll be moving my ram and cpu to the new board and rebuilding what I was up til 4am troubleshooting last night. Got same day delivery so tonight it is.
So like this?
Super limited on that socket with overclocking and SLI support, you're going to be way over paying, as your only two options really are this ASRock 350$ board or this Asus 402$ board from warehouse, which means it takes ages to ship. There are other boards but they say "temporarily out of stock" But I seriously doubt any of those will be made again, since the socket is dead.
Would this be a more appropriate and compatible motherboard? http://www.amazon.co.uk/Z77-Extreme4-Motherboard-Supports-CrossFireX/dp/B007KTY4A6/ref=pd_bxgy_computers_img_y. :p
Really sorry I realized how i should put up some specs. Alright so I'm using 3 monitors. 2 of them are Acer G226HQL 21.5-Inch (1920x1080 they only have a dvi and a vga) and then one is Acer XB270HU 27-inch (2440x1440) and as for the wires I usually use 2 DVI-D one of which was plugged-in to the gpu and the other to the motherboard (Z77 EXTREME4) The 2440 monitor is plugged in with DisplayPort. However, I noticed that the Acer monitor plugged into the gpu was the only one running during boot-up so i thought to myself I will try using a HDMI to DVI and it didn't work but either way it works on windows. All running on a EVGA GeForce GTX 980 Ti.
Thank you for answering back.
I have this board if you are still looking.

Yea my score seems about right compared to yours, I did try it when overclocked this is the results I got so definitely seems about right.
I rather keep the settings in the benchmark on max since that's what most people use to run it and it's easier to compare, specially for situations like this.
I never thought of turning it off since I've never gotten any errors or anything. But I'll do and try again, I'm pretty savvy so I know how to do it. My board is an AZROCK Z77 I got it so that I can OC my CPU but I haven't even gotten around to that yet since I haven't bothered to buy a closed loop cooler.
But thanks a lot for the info and the help man!

You probably will have a hell of a time finding an SLI capable 1155 board for cheap. I don't think anyone is selling them new anymore. Might have to dig around on ebay or forums for a used one.
http://www.amazon.com/LGA1155-CrossFireX-Motherboard-Z77-EXTREME4/dp/B007KTY4A6/
Found that one still being sold. Probably old stock.
Thanks, I'll be able to look at the hard drive again this evening.. However it appeared to be recognised on certain sata ports only, also would a computer freeze due to a faulty hard drive cause the reset button to stop working or occasionally a bad boot with driver issues following a crash (fixable by restarting again)?
I had a quick look to see the price of a recommended overclocking motherboard for the i5 2500k http://www.amazon.co.uk/Z77-Extreme4-Motherboard-Supports-CrossFireX/dp/B007KTY4A6 is recommended - it's the same chipset as my current board (which was originally recommended for overclocking). So I guess I can either get that and overclock my current CPU - I already have a decent fan for the job or I upgrade to a new CPU/board combo..
It appears that I wouldn't get a speed bost to be worth the extra £150 immediately but I'm a little worried that if I didn't upgrade now that when I do want to upgrade my GPU, perhaps to a 970 as suggested then the 2500k even overclocked would then be the limiting factor.
If it wouldn't be and I could still get ~3 years out of it then I'd be tempted to reuse it.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B007KTY4A6/?tag=pcp0f-21
Pretty sure this is the same one. You should post the build in pounds (change region on PCPartPicker at the top right) if your in England, it'll help people help you.

I would get a ASRock Z77Extreme4, slightly more expensive but better OCing and has two 3.0 lanes for SLI/CF incase you want a cheap upgrade route in the future.
That plus a Hyper 212+ will let you OC to 4.4GHz
What are some extremely safe OC settings for an i5-2500k + 212 Evo? First time oc'ing so I don't want to mess it up.
Is this mobo ok for light overclocking?
Why that motherboard?
Cheaper option.
Or a Gigabyte.
Fairly good build. Here are some changes I'd make though:
Otherwise nice build!
not sure what you mean by budget but i have that processor and this MOBO http://www.amazon.com/LGA1155-CrossFireX-Motherboard-Z77-EXTREME4/dp/B007KTY4A6 and it is awesome. Highly recommended.
Right, I don't want to overclock, so what motherboard and CPU would you recommend?
Is this one ok?http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B007KTY4A6/ref=ox_sc_act_title_3?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1&amp;smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE
Yea, pretty close. Here's the motherboard I have. It's a:
AS Rock LGA1155 DDR3 SATA3 USB3.0 Quad CrossFireX and Quad SLI A GbE ATX Motherboard Z77 EXTREME4
I tested everything inside as well and I still don't know the problem. I went and bought a new PSU because my other one is old and just to mix things up. If that doesn't work, I might just end up grading my motherboard/processor all around. I just got a new RAM and I don't think that's it.
$200 isn't bad. I was expecting a little less than that for RAM and graphics but if I can find the 750 for ~$50-75 that saves me quite a bit. Adding a CPU and mobo in a few months would essentially make it a whole new machine.
My thoughts were to do something like an ASUS M5a97 and putting an AMD FX 8300 or something similar.

I am on mobile so I can't throw together a part picker, but here's my two cents.
That processor is very weak compared to the rest of the build, and the GPU is a little weak for the money as well.
I recommend you go with a GTX 760 and a GX 6350 CPU instead. I usually choose AMD CPU's when doing builds under 1000 dollars.

You do not need a CPU cooler.
The motherboard you chose is too expensive. http://www.amazon.com/ASUS-M5A97-R2-0-SATA-Motherboard/dp/B008V9959O/?tag=logicaincrem-20
Let's bump up slightly to a 128GB SSD. http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Ultra-2-5-Inch-Solid-SDSSDHP-128G-G25/dp/B0093HMKVI/?tag=logicaincrem-20

You can cut some money getting this motherboard . After doing the math adding everything up, I get around $600. (the cpu, mobo, case, ram, psu and ssd)
*edit assuming prices in USD
Well the motherboard I changed the one I have right now does not support sli so I picked another the one I have is this one and I have had it going on 5 months still going strong.

I'd replace the case with something cheaper (NZXT Source 210), motherboard with M5A97 R2.0 which is a decent one for overclocking, and get a GTX 760. Better price/performance than a few extra Mhz with a better board

Whats the best (compatible) RAM to buy for it? Thanks
Oh I see for the FX-6350 I would suggest the ASUS board, the 125W is pushing it for MSI board.
It looks like you are using Amazon, the ASUS M5A97 LE R2.0 is 83.24 however if you plan to overclock the non LE version, ASUS M5A97 R2.0 for 89.79 whould suit you better as it has the proper VRM heatsinks for it. (Both offer Amazon Prime)
I can look more later if you haven't decided on anything, but I need to go for now. Keep in mind there aren't as many options for AM3+ motherboards as stuff on the Intel side so finding something perfect in your price range may be difficult.
ASUS M5A97 R2 motherboard. amazon link
AMD FX(tm)-8350 Eight-Core Processor
and a couple hundred bucks but that is a little flexible.
The mobo is listed as $74.79, but it's really $89.58. You should get the Asus M5A97 R2.0 instead. Have you actually bought everything except the CPU/mobo?
I can't really say as I don't have much knowledge of motherboards. This is my one,though.
The M5A97 R2.0 is a great board. I highly recommend it, it's right in your price range.
If you're on a budget check out /r/buildapcsales and /r/gamedeals. I've seen some great deals in both subs.
More specifically, I use the AMD fx-6300 CPU with an ASUS M5A97 R2.0 motherboard. With a good GPU this hardware will serve you well. I've got everything on max settings and I rarely get below 100 fps.
Make sure any case you get has good airflow (check reviews) otherwise shoot for something cheap. Go for an 80+ bronze PSU or better. Nothing sucks more than when your power supply fries and that will happen if it's under powered or cheaply made.
People in this sub may try to convince you otherwise, but I feel that keyboard/mouse and monitor details are not nearly as important as the quality of your PC build. Sacrifice special mice and other peripherals to put more into your PC if possible. I made it to DMG with a $10 keyboard and a Logitech wireless mouse before I got what I have now.
Here's an amazon link for the motherboard I mentioned with a nice cpu/hdd bundle near the bottom.
Good luck!
edit: fx-6300 not 6400
Also, check out www.logicalincrements.com to get a feel for performance vs price.
Get a cheaper mobo like this.
http://www.amazon.com/ASUS-M5A97-R2-0-SATA-Motherboard/dp/B008V9959O
Get a Hyper 212 Evo and you should get an easy 4.2-4.3ghz on the CPU.
If you plan on OC'ing, i won't really suggest going with a mATX.
there is the M5a97! £61.90
the 970AGIgabyte! £56.17
i will be getting one of those for my 8320.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008V9959O?tag=tomshardware_forum_vgl-20
Let me just say that League is a really easy game to run at max settings.
You should be able to achieve this with an AMD processor and appropriate mobo.
Finish this with an R9 270X and you're saving a handful of cash.
Maybe the parts are slightly dated but it is something to consider if you want to save a bit.
This should do it for League at 1920 x 1080 resolution and 60fps.
If you would like to stick to what you already have, maybe start with only one stick of ram (8GB should be plenty) and get a similar tier GPU as mentioned above.
I would reccomend the Asus M5A97 R2.0 and the AMD FX 6300. Very overclockable and right on budget.
Your memory is fine. I have a fairly similar rig ( your video card is better). I have the FX-6300 and Sapphire HD7870. I usually can run everything maxed at around 50-55fps, with occasional slow downs dropping me to the low 40's. This is in windowed mode, running 2 monitors, while watching streaming movies, and I usually have a fair bit of crap running in the background. I haven't oc'ed my system yet, even though it's supposedly easy to do; I just want to get quiet fans first, nothing big, just been putting it off. Not sure what I get fullscreen, guess I've forgotten. I've got stuff running for now. I'll edit in my full-screen info later, in case you just want to upgrade your cpu.
Edit:
I closed nearly everything. Full screen I was running at a smooth 60 mostly. ig mobs can make it flicker down to 53/54 occasionally; full-screen mobs can do the same to about 43/44fps, but not always.

The reviews on that makes me hesitant. I was looking at this Asus it's more expensive. But the reviews sketch me out less. Am I being too paranoid?
I m living in central europe, at first i wanted to buy gtx 760 but i see that many ppl are actually throwing those away already and buying new ones. Had prepared around 200€ for it, but I d actually go higher if its worth it. This is my motherboard
Posted this from my phone. Home PC isn't permanently online.
Think my motherboard is quite decent. https://www.amazon.co.uk/M5A97-R2-0-Motherboard-PCI-Express-Flashback/dp/B008V9959O
sure are you ordering from the US? plenty of places still sell am3+ boards
Hey, currently looking for a new CPU and Motherboard to improve my rig. I recently had to buy a new GPU because my old AMD died on me. This is my current rig
My budget would be around ~400euro to get a fairly good CPU + Motherboard. Please do not recommend me any AMD anymore, I simply want to switch!
Note: This is purely for gaming!!
Appreciate any answers!
So I believe I have this motherboard
https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-M5A97-R2-0-SATA-Motherboard/dp/B008V9959O
With that I should be able to support the previously mentioned ram yes?
How do I tell what my power supply can support? Im gonna pop open my case after I post this and have a look at my computer.
What's an FX?
(btw thanks for the reply.)
Just found unimpressive reviews for the Asus M5A97 LE R2.0 mobo on Amazon.
Better reviews for the $99 ASUS M5A97 R2.0 (N=58) and the $110 M5A99X EVO R2.0 (although N=8 is not a great sample size).
Edit - swapped out the LE model for the regular R2.0 because of these reviews.
My only question with this is that since I'm most likely going to have two Nividia Geforce GTX 460's for my video cards, would it run on an AMD motherboard? AMD uses crossfire while Nvidia uses SLI so are they cross-compatible? Here's the motherboard I plan on buying.
Good to know, Thank you!

Hey all, I just put together a new PC with your suggestions and I don't have any video output. I'm not sure where the problem is. Everything powers on, but as it's a new build, I can't install an OS or update the BIOS without a display. My monitor only reads "no signal" when everything is hooked up.

A 990FX mobo isn't necessary if your using a FX 6300. Any board with the 970 chipset will still allow you to overclock. http://www.amazon.com/ASUS-M5A97-R2-0-SATA-Motherboard/dp/B008V9959O/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1427569561&amp;sr=8-4&amp;keywords=asus+am3%2B.

What should I look for in a motherboard? (apart from chipset and form factor).
I don't remember ever using any particular motherboard features and I'm curious if there's anything important I'm missing, or if I can just keep using the bargain bin cheapest I can find.
Unless there's some important features I don't know about, I'm looking for the cheapest motherboard I can find for an AMD FX-8350, and the Gigabyte GA-78LMT for $60 is what I'm looking at.
Nice mobo alternatives

Yo what is this article, it's made a list of the top 5 pre-built gaming PC's and they are all by the same brand, are they just the only competitive pre-built manufacturer?
Anyway, quick amazon US search (amazon isn't even the cheapest place for a lot of these parts) shows that all those parts are worth maybe 460 dollars (plus a case and windows which you can get for free) they also don't list any of the models/brands so I assume that means they are terrible, on the amazon search I get legit brands like EVGA for the PSU.

You said you don't have a lot of money so I would definitely just build your own, other people have linked to subreddits that can tell you what components are best for the money for what you're going to be using it for, wouldn't be surprised if you could be playing CS:GO at 300 fps on a 450 dollar computer. When you buy a pre-built you are basically paying the manufacturer an extra 30% for them to build it for you, which is like 150 dollars in this case, for what would take you a couple of hours, idk anyone who's time is worth that much, you also lose the ability to save money by cutting costs in certain areas, you don't need a sick GPU to play CS:GO afaik for example.
So updating the BIOS isn't complicated, but it can be risky, particularly if your system is randomly shutting down. If it shuts down during the update procedure, it can brick the board. I don't see that motherboard having any kind of backup or dualBIOS setup so the only way to fix would be purchasing separate equipment to re-flash.
If you do decide to update the BIOS, I'd let it sit in the BIOS first for about 30 minutes to see if it shuts down randomly during that time or not. If not, I'd shut the system down for about an hour, boot it up, enter the BIOS and immediately flash. Just in case it is an issue with something else, heatwise, that should be quick enough to not cause any blips while updating.
Picture of the mosfets is correct. Again, I don't know if thats the issue for sure or not, just that it is something cheap to try and see.
As far as new motherboards, I haven't been keeping up with AM3/3+ stuff at all since I updated my system last year. Without knowing an exact budget, something similar to this would be good: https://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-DDR3-Micro-Motherboard-GA-78LMT-USB3/dp/B009FC3YJ8/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1519771141&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=am3%2B+motherboard+matx
Doesn't have to be that board but I see people OCing FX8350s on the and they don't say anything about random crashing.
And just something else to check too: that the fan on the power supply is functioning correctly. Power supplies can overheat as well but there's no monitoring for it so it is just something you have to manually inspect. Firstly that the fan works when the system is on. Otherwise, while the system is off and unplugged, you can usually get a tiny screwdriver or such and try to manually spin the fan. It should spin freely with no resistance. We've had a few of our office systems with bad heatsink fans over the past few years causing crashes and random shutdowns.
I guess you can say its a pretty outdated one: https://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-DDR3-Micro-Motherboard-GA-78LMT-USB3/dp/B009FC3YJ8

Looks great! I've found a cheaper mobo through Amazon, because more bundling usually lowers shipping costs.
http://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-DDR3-Micro-Motherboard-GA-78LMT-USB3/dp/B009FC3YJ8
$50 instead of 56. I have it in one of my machines and it's ridiculously durable, still works after I managed to flex the actual board about 3/4ths of an inch while trying to remove it from the case.
The only thing is lacks however is SATA 3, but seeing as you don't have an SSD in the plans that won't be a problem. Even if you do decide to upgrade to an SSD later, SATA 2 is still just fine for an SSD.
Don't let anyone deter you from getting the FX6300, an i5 is going to be at least 75% more expensive just for differences that you won't even notice in real world gaming. It's definitely good enough for high-ultra settings for any games in the next couple of years.
Yeah, we only have the microATX mid-tower case. Think we're going to go with this board, it's got pretty good reviews: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B009FC3YJ8/?tag=pcpapi-20
Thanks for all your help. If switching out this mobo doesn't work, do you think that means the CPU is faulty? I can't say I've ever heard of a DOA CPU.
Edit: Also, wanted to say that the 750m has a downward facing fan, so we should be good on that front..

These were the only AM3+ mATX motherboards I could find on Pcpartpicker that had prices available from Amazon.
On closer inspection, you would probably need a new motherboard to support a new CPU since the one you have is AM2.

MOBO
and some GPU solutions would be a 750 ti, R9 280x.
He has a Gigabyte LMT78. I wouldn't bother OC'ing the CPU with mobo. It'll fry his mobo, most likely.

Plus with those specs, OP most likely has a shoddy PSU as well, not worth the trouble. A simple GFX swap should be fine for him.
Another question for my first build happening tomorrow:
Can I expect the motherboard to come with all cables necessary to plug things into it? If I have 2 drives, will there be cables ready to plug them in?
If necessary, here's the motherboard I ordered: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009FC3YJ8/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i04?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
So I just bought a new motherboard, the Gigabyte AM3+ A-78LMT-USB3, and was curious of the higher end processors and video cards I could add and have it be compatible. Or just recommendations of nice ones that are cheap ish. Any help is appreciated.
This is the motherboard that I am planning to install the chip in: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009FC3YJ8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
I was considering buying a new cpu altogether, which of course is extra $$(plus heatsink & thermal paste), but if its my only option, so be it.

None of the other troubleshooting worked
Splitter is a 4 pin, MOBO: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B009FC3YJ8/ref=yo_ii_img?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
Thanks for the heads up on the cover. I took it off myself because it wasn't low profile. I'll set this project aside and just buy a new card with the appropriate cover.
So I managed to get this one to show up, but I have trouble getting it to recognize anything I plug in.
From my research, I found that switching to legacy helped alot of people.
Upon trying to install legacy drivers, I get a serious freeze followed by bsod every time.
The product I intend to use recommends TI chipset, so my plan was to buy one that had TI, which would concern me if this one had it and doesn't work.
What are my options here? Would win 10 fix this? How about a newer pci card like this one?

im not in the US nor am i too familiar with z97 boards sorry, maybe just flick through some of the builds on here at a similar price point and see what other people are recommending. the ga-z97-d3h (very similar name) would be a better option if the price is similar. there is no real performance difference between boards but i always like to spend a little more on it to make sure i dont regret not having a certain feature or extra overclock headroom in future
this might be a good choice - not too expensive, great UEFI, better heatsinks, asus' intel boards are generally well regarded. plus that gold circle thing looks cool
Oh whoops. I meant this one as the one I have. I had multiple tabs opened. ASUS Z97-A ATX DDR3 2600 LGA 1150 Motherboards Z97-A. It's about 20 bucks more expensive.
So I have this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00K2MAU5Q/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
And I was considering this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00TXBP1NS/ref=psdc_1048424_t1_B00K2MAU5Q?th=1
Or this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00K2R6E60/ref=psdc_1048424_t2_B00K2MAU5Q
Alright so this first board and this second one are basically the same board, the only thing I can see as a difference, because amazon sucks for listing specs, is that the second board has two 3.1 usb ports.
Other than that I don't see a single difference, maybe I'm blind though. The i/o ports are the same except for the 3.1 usb ports on the second board. All PCI slots look to be the same as well, both have one m.2 socket.
I wouldn't even consider the third board when you've got that second one, I don't see anything wrong with it.
Only thing that might deter you from the second board is that its not in stock until April 5th.
If you want something that will last a long time and will be perfect for upgrading then go for this.
So something like this?
I would go with this or this based on your needs and budget. for the RAM, I would do 2X4 like this one from amazon.
I've been helping people pick computer parts a lot lately, and here's my go-to current build (as in, where I feel price/performance is optimized)--it's usually around $1000, NOT including monitors. I built two for my company (minus the video card), and they are wonderful. If you want to compare: CPUs, GPUs.

This is at $1015 + tax--still over budget, but going much cheaper really starts to bite into your experiences (and if anyone here can recommend anything to save money, I welcome it).
As for monitors, if you're playing EVE, honestly I'd recommend a 2560x1440 monitor because spreadsheets. However, since those start around $300, my go-to cheaper monitors are the not-bad 22" 1080p ones that can be had for around $140.

Source: I've done IT for the past few years, and done dozens of computer purchases/builds.
Notes: I don't buy AMD or ATI unless it's an extreme budget build. I don't buy off-brand because I've had parts break and then not have an RMA available; I've had good experience and RMA support with Corsair and EVGA. You don't really need a CD/DVD drive; you can install Windows from a USB key, but if you're unsure, CD/DVD drives are like $15. If you go with Intel/nVidia Maxwell, you won't really need a >500W PSU.
I don't like to skimp on computers much because, economically, if you're spending even 5-10% of your time waiting for your computer and you earn $10-25/hr, $1000 is paid for in somewhere between 2000-250 hours of use, yet the computer will last at least 3-5 years.

Oh I see. I've had good luck with ASUS in the past, but the Maximus is a little spendy. What do you think of a more middle of the road one such as the ASUS Z97-A?

Alright, so I ordered more or less along the lines of what you picked out, but made a couple changes.
As I said before, I got the video card from eBay and it should arrive tomorrow. The rest I ordered from Amazon today. I got an ASUS Z97-A since the H97 chipset apparently doesn't allow overclocking, and that CPU was born to be overclocked. I also got an 8GB kit of Crucial Ballistix RAM instead of the Ripjaws. And finally, I ordered an EVGA 500W Power Supply instead of the Corsair because the Corsair would take a few weeks shipping from Amazon.
It did bump up my expenses a bit, but I figure that I compensated by getting the video card pretty cheap.
You can build a pretty decent rig with $1200... But it depends on what type of work you'd need to be doing on your laptop.
If you just need something for word processing, get the Asus X205TA or HP Stream 11, and then build a rig with:
That should put you around your price point and getting the best of both worlds. That machine WILL run WoW on ultra, and it'll leave you with a small laptop with great battery life to take to classes and take notes on.
Yea that's the one I have been looking at, I think I'm going to get that one
But there are 2 different kinds and I can't tell the difference

I do have a few notes -
CPU Cooler - If you are going to overclock the 6700k you might want a better cooling method This is a pretty popular one- https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835181103&amp;nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&amp;cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-PCPartPicker,%20LLC-_-na-_-na-_-na&amp;cm_sp=&amp;AID=10446076&amp;PID=3938566&amp;SID=
Motherboard - Expensive motherboards simply aren't worth it for non-enthusiast level CPUs, This should cut off about 50 dollars without making too large of an impact - https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-Z170-A-ATX-DDR4-Motherboards/dp/B012NH05UW/ref=sr_1_2?s=pc&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1485398779&amp;sr=1-2&amp;keywords=z170+motherboard
Storage - At just under 2k, no SSD feels like a wrongdoing to this system. At least get a cheaper smaller one to boot up on and use a HDD for simple storage.
Power Supply - I'd go more, this is double the price, BUT, a good PSU can last you a while. I'd go for more voltage regardless for overclocking - https://pcpartpicker.com/product/g63RsY/evga-power-supply-120g10650xr
Any revisions on my revision would be great.
I'm gonna order this board tomorrow, it only has 2 fan headers if I read it correctly.

Should I just order this board instead? Its a z170 (wont support kaby lake) but has 4 fan headers I believe.

I think it is alright, but you seem to be missing a motherboard.
Since you have a CPU that can be overclocked, use this one:
https://www.amazon.com.mx/dp/B012NH05UW/
Asus Z-170A is the cheaper choice but this is a much better looking one Asus Sabertooth
There are always going to be more added features the more cash you dish out, however, this seems to be a good Mobo at the price. Reviewers are all overclocking successfully with it as well.Link=
What advantages does that have beyond price to this?
ASUS Z170-A ATX DDR4 Motherboards https://www.amazon.com/dp/B012NH05UW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_.dMLxb5ED60QK
fine except get a cryorig H7 and don't get the ASUS board unless you can buy it from Amazon, their support sucks but Amazon doesn't use it. https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-Z170-A-ATX-DDR4-Motherboards/dp/B012NH05UW
completely agree with this. a 6700k for gaming / VR will do nothing but eat $100 of your budget. get a 1070 instead for a huge preformance boost and ability to better render future VR titles at a comfortable 90fps.
another great motherboard alternative is the ASUS Z170A
It's shipped from Amazon. Must be the "easy-to-open packaging"...
Apparently I wasn't the only one with the problem: "Only three stars because the way they package this was just simply slapping labels on the motherboard box itself and sending it out. There wasnt even tape to secure the box shut. The box ended up being beat up when it got to me and who knows who has poked and prodded my motherboard seeing it wasnt sealed in"
In my Build-In-Progress, I bought an Asus Z170-A and a Kingston SSDNow 240GB M.2 Drive. I am happy with the motherboard, but my M.2 drive is not being recognized. Any advice?
Are these worth the money? I have a Samsung 850 EVO right now but saw that these 960 EVOs fit into the DDR slots on your motherboard and read 4-5x faster. Are they worth the upgrade? Do I need a mount or are they plug and play? Will they work with my ASUS Z170-A?
Thoughts on this one? I'm going to keep my NVIDIA GTX 960. Not sure if it's compatible. It says it has PCIe slots. (short for PCI express right?) but pcpartpicker.com doesn't have my graphics card in their database

Thanks!
I just looked. bud light may have had an effect on me(i apologize). I assumed this was the mobo you linked.. I was wrong, i do apologize
It's an ASUS Z170-A.
First off, if you have the funds for a 980ti, do it. If you do go that way, you may be pushing yourself over budget by quite a bit.
As for the motherboard, reviews are always weird... I love this motherboard and once I upgrade to Skylake, I'll be getting one for myself. My friend has one himself and has no problems with it and loves the BIOS and the over all functionality of the entire board. The M.2 port is a plus for it, but that probably wouldn't mean much for you. I've been able to play with my friend's system outside of his chassis and I've loved this motherboard. I'd recommend it.
EDIT: Here is a great option for that 980ti.
Just remember, this will push you over budget.

I know I don't need a sound card or a DAC/AMP setup, but if my budget allows it (~100$), would I benefit from adding one of them to my system? I'm mainly doing heavy gaming and light music listening through streaming services such as spotify. No audio production of any sorts.
I'm planning a new build that has an Asus Z170-A that has the ALC892 audio codec. My sound comes from a Logitech z623 2.1 system and a pair of Sennheiser Game Ones
> Z370
https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B012NH05UW/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_2?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1&amp;smid=A3DWYIK6Y9EEQB
So my dad ordered this for me, its not z370 is it?
What are the major differences between these two motherboards

I'm not super familiar with motherboards
The asus z170-a is a very popular board and can be found for around that. Looks great too.

ASUS Z170-A is a great mobo for that CPU. That's what I'm running right now.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B012NH05UW/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1457065597&amp;sr=8-1&amp;pi=SX200_QL40&amp;keywords=Asus+Z170-A+ATX+DDR4+Motherboard&amp;dpPl=1&amp;dpID=51tfWB09UwL&amp;ref=plSrch
Any motherboard with Z series chipset will work. This board in a solid choice, https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B012NH05UW/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1486785967&amp;sr=8-1&amp;pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&amp;keywords=asus+z170+a&amp;dpPl=1&amp;dpID=51tfWB09UwL&amp;ref=plSrch
I can't find the difference between the two though.

Any recommendations would be appreciated.
This has me worried. I have This ASUS board and touch is arriving today. Am I going to have issues?
I have this motherboard. It comes with a single 4 pin case fan connection. My corsair 200r carbide has two 3 pin fans already in it.
If I buy two 4 pin fans and use a 4 pin splitter will the fan speed automatically be controlled by the motherboard?
Heres the motherboard that i removed from the list
https://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-LGA1151-Intel-Motherboard-GA-H110M-/dp/B0165YUDTM/ref=as_li_ss_tl?s=pc&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1462137050&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=gigabyte+h110&amp;linkCode=sl1&amp;tag=pctechdeals-20&amp;linkId=317f0dcbbfe05068c0a55feb80c310e9
i think its only for Skylake and im gonna get a Kaby Lake Processor.
Oh damn an even better answer! Thank you for going more in-depth about it but I was actually thinking of an i3, not an i5, just because I am aiming more for a budget cpu, would this mobo work? https://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-LGA1151-Intel-Motherboard-GA-H110M/dp/B0165YUDTM/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1484447967&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=FCLGA-1151
>Isn’t that how warranties usually work?
Pretty much, it seems that everything I buy dies right after the warranty period or lasts forever.
I have found a ddr3 compatible motherboard that's in stock, but in Europe (free shipping though):
If you want to future-proof your system, you should get DDR4 and a board that supports it like this one (it's even on sale for $45) (Name is GIGABYTE GA-H110M-A):
And you need ram, so here's a single(you have the ability to add another in the future) 8GB stick from Crucial:
You could easily sell the ddr3 ram you already have on ebay for $30-$40 if you wanted to recoup the cost of the new stuff.
If you ever plan on getting an overclockable processor, you will need a z170 board to take advantage of it.
This one is pretty good value for $45. Only for prime members though.

yes, micro atx will fit in atx. microatx is just a bit smaller, so some people prefer that more. also, don't you have to buy the whole combo if you want the discounted price?
anyway, moving onto the cpu. http://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Core-i3-6100-vs-AMD-FX-6300/3511vs1555 shows that the i3 6100 performs better. i'm not really sure which site to trust, though. that's up to you to decide.
as for the mobo, this one https://www.amazon.ca/Gigabyte-GA-H110M--LGA1151-Intel-Motherboard/dp/B0165YUDTM/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1473269366&amp;sr=8-2&amp;keywords=h110 costs around the same as your combo'd mobo if you switch to intel
Why get a z170 with a locked cpu? Better and cheaper option

I have not heard of Asrock before so I was unsure of its quality and there is only one review on Newegg saying that the customer couldn't load their OS and without any other reviews it makes me question the reliability of Asrock. I'll probably search for another motherboard just in case I find something cheaper with reviews.
About the SSD, I got a response on a post I made of my build and a guy was talking about how having your OS on your SSD will greatly improve your experience and I realize that my laptop boots windows from the SSD and I still think that it's slow, I am a very impatient person when it comes to computer loading. So I am willing to put a bit more money in for an SSD.
Once again, thanks a ton for all of your help. I hope you had a good sleep.
edit: Can that motherboard hold two sticks of RAM? I think it can but I'm not sure.
edit #2: The motherboard I originally had in mind - https://www.amazon.ca/Gigabyte-GA-H110M--LGA1151-Intel-Motherboard/dp/B0165YUDTM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1467935011&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=1151+motherboard
edit #3: Power supply is appearing a bit overkill with 750W, is there a better choice?
edit #4: The link to the RAM is not found 404.
edit #5: Do I need an optical drive for my OS?
edit #6: Will I need a soundcard?
Would this motherboard work with the I5 6500 and the GTX 1060? https://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-LGA1151-Intel-Motherboard-GA-H110M-/dp/B0165YUDTM/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1467922193&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=h110

this is the one i suggested, the one you suggested tho has the dvi/vga connector on the motherboard, the one i linked is a bit cheaper but doesnt have those connections , there specs are the same as far as i can see
Its just brand on psu, evga works great and ive had 0 issues so far with the current one i got, Monitor It depends if you want 144hz and such, i just got a basic 60hz 24in that is enough for me.
This for a 6500. You also might want t look into a different psu like an evga 500b because the cx line doesn't have a good reputation.

Turns out I didn't notice the 2 extra standoffs; everything seems to fit in place now, thanks!
Best GPU in that price range is probably the rx 460. It'll run all those games easily at med/high settings 60 fps. However you should really get a new motherboard and CPU because I imagine a 10 year old CPU will bottleneck any current card hard, even a low end one.
It would cost about $160 but a core i3 and motherboard like this would run great.
i just changed the motherboard to this one: https://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-LGA1151-Intel-Motherboard-GA-H110M/dp/B0165YUDTM/ref=zg_bs_1048424_5
Am I going to need to buy a wired connection adaptor? Im really new to this PC thing. I've always been on Laptops or consoles and now Im gonna try to build a PC hahaha. The funny part is that im gonna have to bring everything together and hope that it work.
The PC is here: http://pcpartpicker.com/list/BWPygL
Do I really need to get 16gb of memory? I was thinking maybe 8gb..
Sweet, updated, how would this mobo stand up? https://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-LGA1151-Intel-Motherboard-GA-H110M/dp/B0165YUDTM/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8
Expanding on the motherboard, heres a nice one for 60 usd,selling the ram that you have could get you extra dollars for a ssd/more ram
Mobo here, CPU here, RAM here
Thinking of getting this SSD but not sure. Is it good? Are there faster or more reliable ones for same price? Was going to get this one but seems the price went up since the last time I looked at it
Had to add the links in a comment since the last time I added links in the post here I got flagged for spam because the links(mod confirmed that was what happened).

I mean you have to shop around and see what kind of deal you can get on the different parts. Newegg has deals all the time, amazon may have a cheaper price as well. For instance this board was on sale for $35 a few weeks ago and can support 3 gpus. You would need gpu risers if you have more than one gpu on the board.
Google search around for hashrates of the differ gpus. I know the gtx 1070 are currently one of the best to mine with. The radeon rx 580 are also good as well. The gtx 1060, 1070 and 1080 or the amd rx 470, rx 480, rx 570 or rx 580 are good to mine with. The hardest part is finding them in stock.

Hi, So I built my current rig back in April 2017 and thought I'd upgrade this black friday but I dont know what to upgrade. I'm running:
&#x200B;
Case: Fractal Design Core 1000 USB 3.0 Case
&#x200B;
Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-H110M-A LGA1151 Intel H110 Micro ATX DDR4 Motherboard
&#x200B;
Processor: Intel 3.70 GHz Core i3-6100 3M
&#x200B;
Graphics card: GIGABYTE Geforce GTX 1050 2GB

RAM: 1 stick of Corsair Vengeance LPX 8GB DDR4 Dram
&#x200B;
Power Supply: EVGA 430 W1
&#x200B;
Storage: WD Blue 1TB Sata Hard Drive
&#x200B;
This is the only PC I've ever built and I've never upgraded before. I would like to upgrade my CPU because its an i3 and I know its getting outdated but I dont know if thats the only thing needing an upgrade. I usually get 150+ frames on Counter-Strike and around 120fps on Overwatch but these are all on low settings. However I just recently bought BO4 and can barely run at 60 fps at low. Any advice as to what processor I need to upgrade to?

like most non-z170 mobo it will limit your ram to 2133mhz tho.
The 1st gen i3 will never hold up in 2016. The problem is, upgrading your cpu to say, an i3 6100 means a motherboard upgrade, which means RAM upgrades too. Here's probably the cheapest upgrade route which should make the machine a 1080p beast:
Motherboard: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0165YUDTM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_RAzryb4XB0B0Z
RAM: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01BIWLFGQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_MCzrybW1ABSNB
Intel i3 6100: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B015VPX2EO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_xDzryb3QBBVYT
Total cost: $202
Should be okay, RAM is easily swappable for something faster if that is important to you.
This is a good priced mATX board which is cheaper than both itx and atx and its still bigger than the itx board also having two extra pci slots. And this RX 480 4GB will be far better than the 3gb 1060.
Well you can still go for a while with the gpu and RAM so yeah I'd get a cpu for around 200 dollars and mobo with the leftovers
Edit: mobo something like this https://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-LGA1151-Intel-Motherboard-GA-H110M/dp/B0165YUDTM
Why does ChooseMyPC from the sidebar recommend the Gigabyte GA-H110M-A Micro ATX LGA1151 MOBO all the way up to a $2,100 build? Is the mother board really so irrelevant that its worth it to put a $50 MOBO in a $1000+ computer?
I am trying to figure out my first build for a photo/video editing powerful enough for some casual gaming as well. I just want to make sure I have enough space to plug in extra stuff like an internal card reader, plenty of USBs etc.
Thanks!
Edit: my budget is about $1000
I have some DDR3 RAM sticks and was wondering if they would be compatible with a LGA 1151 MOBO.
Parts I´m considering are:

It's a little more powerful than you might need, but I have an i7-6700 (non-"k") Skylake processor for $240 shipped to you.
You could pair it with a Gigabye H110M for ~$60. I'm sure you can get this or a B150M used for cheaper via this subreddit.
Pm me if you're interested boss!
Thanks in advance!

I have 7 Corsair Air Series SP120 PWM High Performance Edition Fans all plugged into the SilverStone PWM Fan Hub. The Fan Hub is plugged into my Gigabyte GA-H110M-A Motherboard on a 4 pin sys_fan header.
the problem is, i can't control the fans no matter what i've done so far, so they're just running at 100% speed all the time.
i went into my mobo's bios setting and changed the system fan speed to quiet and nothing changes. i've tried using SpeedFan but my fans don't show up at all. i've seen some people say that some mobo's 4 pin sys_fan header isn't actually pwm? is that the case here?
is there anything i can do to turn the sound down on this jet engine next to my ear.
thanks

this is my mother board.
I don't recall it having a light in the first place.
However, no dice on the light, if there is one.
Hello, so i decided to switch to the pentium, but i chose a different mobo https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B0165YUDTM/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?smid=A3DWYIK6Y9EEQB&amp;psc=1
Does this mobo allow upgrade paths for the future?
Amazon has 20% 1-star reviews with a bunch of them complaining about DOA boards.

Perfect for your needs
I'm still unsure about this. Does this one work? And does since it is a DDR4 motherboard does it come with the DDR4 RAM or is that bought separately? This motherboard thing is killing me...

Can this replace your suggested mobo? only because ive heard about B350 Tomohawk before
I feel like the MSI B350 Tomahawk is a better board https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B06WVFFXXL/?tag=pcp0f-20
However I can't say that your memory compatibility would be any better as I don't know which dies are use in that module
Hey, thanks again for all your help! I'm pretty clueless about this stuff.
Would this MOBO work?
https://www.amazon.com/MSI-B350-TOMAHAWK-Gaming-Motherboard/dp/B06WVFFXXL/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8
Are there any specific cases I need for it?
edit: oh duh it's an ATX one
The MSI B350 is currently one of the bests out there. Check it out here but also check out other online/local retailers to see if it is available for cheaper.
Hey. I recommend going on a third party website to buy Windows 10. As for the video card, you can either cheap out and go for a lower graphics card like the RX 580 8GB or RX VEGA 64. As for the motherboard, I recommend picking up this motherboard: https://www.amazon.com/MSI-Gaming-B350-Motherboard-TOMAHAWK/dp/B06WVFFXXL/ref=sr_1_11?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1550390379&sr=1-11&keywords=am4+motherboard (If you don't mind the red LEDs)
Otherwise, you could buy https://www.amazon.com/Ryzen-Gaming-Motherboard-Prime-B450-Plus/dp/B07FKT5CTH/ref=sr_1_2?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1550390368&sr=1-2&keywords=b450+motherboard this one for a tad more expensive.
You can also replace the SSD with a 120GB SSD and buying a 1TB HDD. It might be more expensive, but it will be more reliable.
Ultimately, I highly recommend you go for a cheaper GPU.
Do you see any cause to upgrade that motherboard to this one?

Never mind, I found a good Motherboard with RGB Control It's the Tomahawk Arctic / Regular Tomahawk
Ryzen 1600 is on sale for a great price right now.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XNRQHG4
And then any B350 or B450 motherboard would be good to pair it with.
https://www.amazon.com/MSI-Gaming-B350-Motherboard-TOMAHAWK/dp/B06WVFFXXL
Then you just need DDR4 ram.
https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?item=N82E16820313769
Is this a better option than the x370? https://www.amazon.ca/MSI-B350M-GAMING-PRO-Motherboard/dp/B06WVFFXXL/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1499208142&amp;sr=8-2&amp;keywords=b350&amp;th=1

I see the m.2 slot but I just realized I've got an enclosed SSD.... Hm.
So went to start adding stuff to my cart and on Amazon they had a bundle with the processor, MB and GPU. I think the GPU might be a bit over kill though.

The CPU and board are not compatible. The board is AM1 socket while the CPU is FM1 socket.
I would look at something like this if you want integrated graphics - https://www.amazon.com/AMD-Ryzen-Processor-Radeon-Graphics/dp/B079D8FD28/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1525742910&amp;sr=8-5&amp;keywords=amd+ryzen+5.
You will then want to find an AM4 board. I would suggest something like this - https://www.amazon.com/MSI-Gaming-Ryzen-Motherboard-TOMAHAWK/dp/B06WVFFXXL/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1525743002&amp;sr=8-2&amp;keywords=b350+am4+board.
It won't break the bank and the parts are newer than what you have listed in your wishlist.

I have an MSI b350m motherboard that my brother gave me because it doesn't work. We've tried different ram sticks and even processors. He gave up and bought a b450 and uses it now and gave the old one to me. The only indicators we got was the ram light and cpu light. Everything we tried with it worked fine in the b450. We are out of warranty for it because we thought it was the processor (2nd gen) but my brother bought a 1st Gen ryzen 7 on sale and tried it in that...4 months later. It's an MSI b350m gaming pro.

i see that the MSI b350 gaming pro has CMK16GX4M2B3200C16 on their support list from corsair vengence, would be smarter to just change over to that board?

I use a CM Hyper 212 EVO to cool my X4 965, on an ASUS M5A78L-M Board. The architecture is AM3+. Can I use the same cooler on a Ryzen 5 1600X and AM4 board (Link) or do I have to buy a new cooler?
I don't know anything about motherboards. There's 60 usd motherboards and 600 usd motherboards lol. My budget is 300 usd for cpu and motherboard. Like this, but it's micro ATX idk it's good or not https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06X3Y7KB5/
You could get a ryzen ( Ryzen 3 and 5 are both great picks) unless there is a specific reason you're getting the i3

It's overclockable and also come with a better cooler than intel (Although probably not good enough for overclocking but atleast you've got that option)
It's also a better upgrade path than the intel 1151 , AMD has said that they're using the AM4 platform until atleast 2020 meanwhile intel is coming with a new platform pretty soon

So while I've got ya here, here's what I'm looking at getting.

This leaves me room to upgrade further up the AM4 line in coming years and I can also jump from 16gb to 32gb when I can afford it. I think this is a pretty good upgrade all around and should have me smoking shit with my 1060 6gb.
this and this
how is the deal on this mobo?

I have this motherboard and it's served me well https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-Prime-B350-Plus-Ryzen-Motherboard/dp/B06X416NJ1/ref=pd_lpo_vtph_147_lp_t_2?_encoding=UTF8&amp;psc=1&amp;refRID=C5VJH67PPEJXJYRY9QEZ. It also supports overclocking and has red LED's that breathe.
In the build I'm thinking of getting, the Asus Prime B350-Plus motherboard has 3 fan header connectors (1 for the cpu fan), but the case Corsair Spec-Alpha has 3 fans included, so do I need a fan splitter to connect all the 3 fans?
https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-Prime-B350-Plus-Ryzen-Motherboard/dp/B06X416NJ1/ref=lp_15576689011_1_19?s=pc&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1499765271&amp;sr=1-19 This one is on sale on amazon right now. Is the one I currently have set better than this one?
gotcha, I picked this ASUS Prime B350-Plus Motherboard, ATX, AMD Ryzen, Chipset B350, Socket AM4, DDR4, HDMI, DVI, VGA, M.2, USB 3.1 https://www.amazon.com.mx/dp/B06X416NJ1/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_u0X6BbD6EBESX motherboard
will that and the 2600 be ok with the Hyper 212 evo?
They do have onboard video, right? since im getting the gpu later I want to test the system first
edit: scratch that there's a b450-plus for a bit less

Just make sure it has the latest BIOS revision (which it should from manufacturer) and you're good to go.
Here you go https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-Prime-B350-Plus-Ryzen-Motherboard/dp/B06X416NJ1
RAM speed isn't so much of a hassle with a RX580. A 2666 kit should be enough.
I think 1 SSD and 2 HDD is more than enough for normal consumption. And back to your question I got the these for the my pc I just built recently. For the motherboard I'm not sure if you can get an AM4 socket ATX motherboard for around $75. [This] (https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-Prime-B350-Plus-Ryzen-Motherboard/dp/B06X416NJ1/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1541178425&amp;sr=8-2&amp;keywords=atx+motherboard+am4) is the cheapest ATX mobo I found on Amazon.
Sounds like a build that should wait for Ryzen. Lots of multi-core compute power for not a lot of money.

Pretty shitty.
so this one? https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-Prime-B350-Plus-Ryzen-Motherboard/dp/B06X416NJ1/ref=pd_sbs_147_1?_encoding=UTF8&amp;pd_rd_i=B06X416NJ1&amp;pd_rd_r=N7Y60424AR10CRQ9NW17&amp;pd_rd_w=tN7oy&amp;pd_rd_wg=VI1RH&amp;psc=1&amp;refRID=N7Y60424AR10CRQ9NW17 It looks cool
Sorry I don't know much about PCs but you can keep your case, HDD, SSD.
You can get a Ryzen 5 1600 said to be $219.
An AM4 motherboard is around $100 : Link
Then you can get a Gigabyte RX480 G1 Gaming 8gb for $240 : link
You can get a 8gb DDR4 memory kit for $60 : [link

s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1491152168&sr=1-8&keywords=DDR4+Ram)
all this will cost you around $610-620. Sorry if this is a bit above your budget. Again, I don't know much about what is best so please forgive me if this is bad in overall value.
are you sure they aren't selling it? it looks like they are on my end.
anyways, here is one for $100
and one for $75
I would upgrade to an AM4 motherboard; you would have to replace your DDR3 with DDR4, but it will future proof your setup for a while. Also in terms of upgrading CPU I would go with a Ryzen 5 1600, it's price to performance ratio is pretty much unparellelled and you are going to have a great rig.
I would say get:
ASUS Prime B350-Plus
AMD Ryzen 5 1600
Kingston HyperX FURY Black 8GB
Would this one be better?
I so wanted that, but Newegg refuses to ship to the US if you use a card outside the US and I don't trust my country's postal service enough to allow a direct shipment (I normally use an US freight forward), so I went with this, it was $70 yesterday.
This one is a full sized ATX motherboard.

What about this mobo compared to one listed?

First off you need to pick a different CPU/Mobo. I'd recommend a Ryzen 3 1300X and a ASUS Prime B350-Plus. The Ryzen CPU comes with a CPU cooler so you no longer need the one you have. Then you can upgrade to an ASUS GeForce GTX 1060 6GB. This will get you similar CPU performance + OCing and better graphics performance.

Well I’m not rich and I’m just looking to start out so I bought a cheap case and I was looking at this mother board

&#x200B;
Both of these boards are on sale and around you`re price point if you want a little RGB the more expensive on will do. It also has an Optical port for better sound quality if your headset supports it. The msi board is the better deal for the money if you care about none of the two points i made for the Asus board.
I want to pair this cpu with Asus ROG Strix B350-F mobo, but cant find anywhere if its "ryzen 2000 ready"/flashed for next gen.
Should I start working on new computer architecture by buying this motherboard to get the ball rolling or should I upgrade my graphics card?
Currently FX 6300 / GTX 680. Currently waiting on a good price for an RX 580 8gb that will run quiet. In Canada, that is. The plan for moving onto the am4 platform is a 1400 or 2400g.
I recommend an Asus B350f mobo. I have put a couple systems together with this mobo and have had fantastic luck with ram and cpu compatibility. https://www.amazon.com/ROG-B350-F-GAMING-DisplayPort-Motherboard/dp/B071SGQP1Q
Also, I would recommend getting Samsung B Die memory, it is more expensive but worth every penny if you're looking to squeeze every bit of performance out of your ryzen setup.
&#x200B;
What kind of power supply are you running? It would probably be worth upgrading to a new one if your budget allows.

I just built with this Mobo and right now it's half what I paid with a $40 rebate. Jump on it
OC is easy, just get a nice board and the 1600, i would recommend a B350 Strix board or the prime you mentioned:
https://www.amazon.com/ROG-B350-F-GAMING-DisplayPort-Motherboard/dp/B071SGQP1Q/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1505485721&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=b350+strix
Would I run into vrm issues with the 2700x on a B350 ?
I've got a quick question. How can I get 2933 RAM speed off of this kit, with this CPU and this board. Is there a video that walks me through it? Likewise, would I need beyond a stock cooler or would keeping it at 2933 be ok with the stock cooler.
This would probably fit your build pretty well. You could find cheaper but this gives you a great set of features for the price
As I've done some more research, it looks like I will have to upgrade my ram as well. Here's what I have found:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0134EW7G8/
And a motherboard:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071SGQP1Q/
any forseen compatibility issues?
Regarding the ASUS ROG STRIX B350-F

https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B071SGQP1Q/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?smid=A3DWYIK6Y9EEQB&amp;psc=1
In several of the reviews i've seen people complain that a large video card can cover the RGB's mounted east of the PCI area. But If i understand it correctly, both of the top two PCI's are capable of hosting the video card at the same speed.
Am I missing something?
WAY CHEAPER, and there are way more to choose from, https://www.amazon.com/GIGABYTE-X470-AORUS-ULTRA-GAMING/dp/B07BZ239Z2/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=amd+motherboard&qid=1564360054&s=gateway&sr=8-4
Snagged that and this board. Saved 50 bucks, thanks!
GIGABYTE X470 AORUS ULTRA GAMING (AMD Ryzen AM4/ X470/ USB 3.1 Gen 2 Front Type C/ ATX/ DDR4/ Motherboard) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07BZ239Z2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_3MilDb3NRJKA3
If you did want a laptop I would totally snag this or this. Both have enough hardware to play current AAA titles and will last for a few years for sure
If you do want to part out a PC to build Amazon might not be the most cost effective so check a bunch of different sites to make sure before pulling the trigger (including microcenter if there's one near you). Here's a decent start list though:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 $199.99
GPU: Zotac RTX 2070 $556.43
Mobo: Gigabyte x470 Aorus Ultra Gaming $124.90
RAM: 16GB Corsair Vengeance 3000mhz $69.99
Storage: Samsung 970 Evo m.2 nvme 500GB for OS/select programs $89.99
2TB Seagate Firecuda SSHDD for library storage, if necessary $59.99
PSU: EVGA 650W, 80 plus gold rated fully modular PSU $97.06
OS: [OEM Win10](https://www.amazon.com/Windows-Home-English-Language-Product/dp/B07TW6G6JP/ref=sr_1_7?keywords=windows+10&amp;qid=1563210474&amp;s=gateway&amp;sr=8-7]. $72.00 Not need if you already have. Pretty sure you can get even cheaper OEM copies out there. Or y'know, other means. Or Linux, etc
Total: $1270.35 including the OEM Win10 which you may or may not need
Missing items: monitor, mouse, keyboard, case. Compared to the prebuilt at $1499.99 that leaves you $229.64 to get a case & any necessary peripherals, upgrade any items on the list, or just pocket the 'savings'
The ibuypower one linked doesn't appear to be that bad. But when reading the comments there are people who got the 8700k version for $1350 (currently $1433, one you linked "on sale" for 1499.99)...so pricing might be misleading. Also keep in mind SI's need to make a profit and usually skimp when it comes to things like cooling, storage and motherboards. I can't tell what mobo that has, but it shouldn't be much of an issue unless you want to overclock, probably not as good components and features as what I listed though. The cooling is actually pretty nice with the cpu watercooling at that price. But not sure on how it is for the other components (ie system case fans). The storage is a bit shit, with a smaller sata ssd and a smaller much slower mechanical hdd. The RAM isn't much better, going off amazon reviews it's basically no name ram at 2666mhz. Also they use a generic 600W psu and apparently the included mouse and keyboard stink. So gotta take the good with the bad but the one I price out looks like a much better option across the board and leaves you room to pick and choose certain upgrades n such
There's a good sale going on for this motherboard https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07BZ239Z2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_XETADb92MMRPD
Other then that any X370, B450, X470, X570 from asus, gigabyte and MSI close to your budget will do fine
https://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-X470-AORUS-ULTRA-GAMING/dp/B07BZ239Z2/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1523658275&amp;sr=8-3&amp;keywords=x470+amd+motherboard

sorry for annyoing you but I have one more question is this mobo a good one?
this power supply and this motherboard should do ya perfectly.
Just snagged this and the $99 ram deal on Amazon. Long time Intel guy, first time AMD. Need suggestions for a Mobo. Looking at the Gigabyte Aorus Ulta for $104.
Thoughts?
GIGABYTE X470 AORUS ULTRA GAMING (AMD Ryzen AM4/ X470/ USB 3.1 Gen 2 Front Type C/ ATX/ DDR4/ Motherboard) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07BZ239Z2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_nmc-Bb891TVCS
Op, do NOT go with the Micro ATX motherboard of the one mentioned above. I bought it from Amazon and within a WEEK it bricked up. I returned it and bought this one or do what I regret not doing and get this one with the wifi (it's under configurations)
I need help finding just one 120 mm RGB case fan that's compatible with my motherboard without also installing an RGB controller. I just need a single fan for the front of my case but every pack on Amazon is for 3+ and includes a controller. I originally purchased this fan which was perfect except that it had a 4 pin connector while my motherboard only has a 5 pin header. Any suggestions are welcome. Thank you!
Motherboard is a GIGABYTE X470 AORUS ULTRA GAMING.
Well, that's pretty crazy man. You can google x470 motherboards, those motherboards are all set for the 2000 generation. I got Gigabyte because Gigabyte is pretty much the best for hackintosh compatibility.
But take a look at Amazon,
https://www.amazon.com/GIGABYTE-X470-AORUS-ULTRA-GAMING/dp/B07BZ239Z2
If you click used, they have warehouse deals for 90$ or so. It's pretty good.
If you can't get it for a good price, just try searching which brands are good for hackintosh,
I suggest getting a x470 board, since those are the onces which will allow the percision boost.
this one should be decent
https://www.amazon.com/X470-AORUS-ULTRA-GAMING-Motherboard/dp/B07BZ239Z2
Interesting, I have a Gigabyte Aorus Gaming motherboard. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07BZ239Z2?psc=1&amp;ref=yo_pop_mb_pd_title
The extent of my "future proofing" is just reliability.

Would ASUS Prime X470-Pro be ok? I know asus and low price aren't great.

Thinking of buying this
I read all of that and you convinced me, i dont know much about it all so reading through what you said makes sense after looking at the specs of the b450. I will be taking your advice and go with your recommendation
also, just to make sure. is it this one underneath?

Pulled the trigger on a Ryzen 2700x yesterday. Now I’m looking for a motherboard. All the sites I’ve checked recommend the X470 boards over the B450 boards so that’s what I’m targeting. However all of them have mixed reviews at best.
I’ve been leaning towards this one:
Asus Prime X470 Pro
My price limit is about $150-$160. If anyone has any recommendations for an X470 board I’d appreciate it. Thanks.
If I buy this case: https://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?item=N82E16811119354
With this MOBO : https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/product/TWzkcf/gigabyte-x470-aorus-ultra-gaming-atx-am4-motherboard-x470-aorus-ultra-gaming
Will I have control over the RGB fans with my MOBO, or i need a MOBO that says AURA SYNC example : https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B07C57Q1XH/?tag=pcp0f-20
i would avoid the motherboard,3 phase vrm is ....eh
https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-Prime-X470-Pro-Ryzen-Motherboard/dp/B07C57Q1XH
this is a better choice imo,6 phase VRMs and a really good board all around only issue its not mini itx
Well, glad I decided to avoid it! I ended up going with this, though I didn't really research if it was better. Hopefully so!
would you recommend this one over the msi? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07C57Q1XH/?tag=httpwwwtechsp-20
I was actually going to go for the Asus Prime X470-Pro because she's got a white build going on; but if that's a bad option please let me know; I've only done a bit of research on AMD boards and processors.
I got a used one on warehouse with additional discount for total of $76. X470

Congrats on your first build! Of course it depends what you are wanting to do. If you are strictly gaming you'll have a better system if you go for intel at this price point.
Personally I would go for an nvme ssd at that price point (especially if I can get it at $150):

I'd prefer the nh-d15 for cooling, though you might have to switch to lower profile ram like the corsair lpx to accommodate the second fan:
https://www.amazon.ca/Noctua-NH-D15-Premium-Cooler-NF-A15/dp/B00L7UZMAK/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=nhd15&qid=1575146493&sr=8-1
The x570 motherboard is overkill in my opinion unless you are interested in pcie x4 down the road. This board is $150 right now: https://www.amazon.ca/ASUS-Prime-X470-Pro-Ryzen-Motherboard/dp/B07C57Q1XH/ref=sr_1_5?keywords=amd+motherboard+b470&qid=1575135581&sr=8-5
I might also consider replacing the case fans with noctua fans although this would push your budget up.
Wish I had gone with something more in line with what you have here with my last build rather than the 9900k / 2070 super I'm running.
By all means, Asus is the #1 brand for good reason and that's a solid, mid-range line. This model is nearly identical and $30 less, AFAICT the only difference is the sound chip (and if you're running 2.1 sound you don't need more) and the finish/LEDs and the word "gaming" which always tacks $25 on the price, LOL.
So what would this require? Sounds like it has support?
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07C57Q1XH/ref=ox_sc_saved_image_5?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&amp;psc=1
Noob here, are these two compatible out of the box?
ASUS Prime X470-Pro
AMD Ryzen 7 2700X
Haven't built a PC in like 6 years so I can't remember what site someone linked me before that let you check compatibility.
I have a GTX 1070 and some DDR4 Ram I can transfer over from my current PC, just need a new mobo and cpu.
I know this post is a few days old, but I didn't want to start a new thread. Does the x470 Gaming Plus have the BIOS flashback feature so I can update the BIOS without a CPU installed? I haven't been able to find the answer
You think this MSI Arsenal Gaming AMD Ryzen 1st and 2nd Gen AM4 M.2 USB 3 DDR4 DVI HDMI Crossfire ATX Motherboard (B450 Tomahawk) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07F7W5KJS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_wwCyDb1JX28WM
would be better than the gigabyte one?
So is this MSI Performance Gaming AMD X470 Ryzen 2 AM4 DDR4 Onboard Graphics CFX ATX Motherboard (X470 Gaming Plus) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07CF31C1Q/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_zzCyDb5P9WPCK
use this mother board https://www.amazon.com/MSI-X470GPLUS-Performance-Graphics-Motherboard/dp/B07CF31C1Q/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=x470&amp;qid=1561946219&amp;s=gateway&amp;sr=8-4 buy them seperately its a x470
x470 gaming plus should be enough!!! x570 isn't ready for market.
Would this motherboard: https://www.amazon.com/MSI-X470GPLUS-Performance-Graphics-Motherboard/dp/B07CF31C1Q/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=x470&amp;qid=1563767655&amp;s=electronics&amp;sr=1-2 work as in this video? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqKdjAcCzlY
Gigabyte has a much cheaper model https://www.amazon.com/GIGABYTE-B450-AORUS-Thermal-Motherboard/dp/B07FWY246F/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=gigabyte+b450&amp;qid=1563767892&amp;s=electronics&amp;sr=1-2 but how do I know exactly if a motherboard has a usb bios flashing feature?
This is the fan I installed in my personal rig. It is an ugly color, but the airflow it provides its crazy. If you can have two of these ideally in the front pulling in air, you got yourself a cool pc.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07C5LRQD3/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_m0kCDbFQ3KPAE
As for the WiFi adapter, it is possibly buy an external WiFi adapter, but I’ll just link an alternative motherboard that has onboard WiFi (quite a bit more expensive though). One upside to the linked motherboard is that you def won’t need to upgrade this for a while unless you get a Ryzen 3000 series CPU which this board doesn’t support.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07CF31C1Q/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_h9kCDb2QQMP37
Something like [this] (https://www.amazon.com/MSI-X470GPLUS-Performance-Graphics-Motherboard/dp/B07CF31C1Q/ref=pd_bxgy_147_img_2?_encoding=UTF8&amp;pd_rd_i=B07CF31C1Q&amp;pd_rd_r=7cafdd2f-b5b8-11e8-b369-ffe841fc31b4&amp;pd_rd_w=wo6mk&amp;pd_rd_wg=Q180v&amp;pf_rd_i=desktop-dp-sims&amp;pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&amp;pf_rd_p=6725dbd6-9917-451d-beba-16af7874e407&amp;pf_rd_r=N441Y7EH6T36N4MHAMB6&amp;pf_rd_s=desktop-dp-sims&amp;pf_rd_t=40701&amp;psc=1&amp;refRID=N441Y7EH6T36N4MHAMB6) maybe?
Alright, if you're looking to upgrade to a Ryzen 2 then this is the same motherboard you sent but with the new X470 chipset. If you order the original one it'll probably have been updated, but the one I linked will work for sure.
Just some red lights. It's the MSI X470 Gaming Plus.
EDIT: None turn on when I try though.

Inside my PC
I can't relate to this one, even as a PC user, because my set up is maximum garb. GTX 760, a motherboard either as old as I am, or older (I'm in the middle of high school). I think I can get to 60 only when the game is on the lowest settings. ;-;
&#x200B;
Although I am getting a new motherboard, it's this one (or a similar one, it's definitely an MSI at around the same price):

I hope it'll help at least.
Got this deal of the day in amazon aswell. https://www.amazon.com/MSI-X470GPLUS-Performance-Graphics-Motherboard/dp/B07CF31C1Q/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1543264716&amp;sr=8-1&amp;pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&amp;keywords=x470+motherboard&amp;dpPl=1&amp;dpID=51s-4yXNd2L&amp;ref=plSrch
I would say that of all the components I hate to upgrade. I hate upgrading the motherboard the most.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07CF31C1Q/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_i_XVDYCbGHW4JVB
If you can get a reliable motherboard with good features you can add on other parts as you go.
It's a bit pricey but I think it's worth it.
Please please please use a price tracker so you k not ow when to buy.

I'd recommend the MSI X470 Gaming Plus

I just installed a 2060 into my computer and everything went fine. I was getting decent FPS in games, and enjoying it. Then out of nowhere I BSOD - and start to worry. I wait until the shut down, then as the computer is booting the CPU fans rev up very fast. I get onto my desktop and notice the cpu temps exceeding 90C almost 100C at some points, I believe I did break 101C one time.
I immediately turn my computer off - go into the bios, and set the core volt from 1.45 to 1.15 (I had 1.45 for around 3 years)
That took care of the temperate issue.
Then out of nowhere both my monitors, AND usb devices were going off as if my computer were sleeping. The fans / lights on mobo stayed on - the GPU fans stayed on. I'd be forced to turn it off, and turn it back on.
Well I go into the bios again and turn "XMP" off which had my previous profile set for my OC'd ram.
I also switch down to the bottom pci-e slot on my mobo as well. This makes me suffer 10-20 frames, so that sucks.
I have re-installed the drivers after DDU'in the old ones for my gpu. I am on the latest version of windows (as of yesterday)
I've reseated EVERYTHING on my mobo besides the mobo its self. That'll be the last resort - just removing it completely, and checking the standoffs if the problem persists.
I've also changed the PSU out from my previous 550W EVGA PSU to my extra thermaltake 550W PSU
Some additional things I'll troubleshoot if the problem persists is resetting the bios to default entirely, and reinstalling windows.
I'm pretty distraut still about this and completely unplugged the HDMI monitor I typically use, and I'm currently only using the display port.
I'll list my hardware below -
> Ryzen 1700 clocked @ 3.2GHz 1.15V
>
> RTX 2060 Ventus stock
>
> Crucial MX300 525GB SATA SSD
>
> Acer Predator XB271HU
>
> \B 350 Tomahawk Mobo\
Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB \(2x8GB\) DDR4 DRAM 3000MHz
I'd appreciate any help, or suggestions. I assume windows 10 didn't like my previous clock speeds for some hardware after installing the 2060, and is malfunctioning. I hope it isn't my mobo messing up bad.
Update: Just set bios to default settings - not sure if it'll help. Still using only my display port instead of using two monitors.
Update 2 : Just ordered a new mobo. A buddy suggested the vrms on my board could be fried. About 6 months ago I spilled a couple droplets in my PSU (now replaced) and on top of the GPU...some must of got on the mobo. Also, when I had my AIO installed I accidently knocked it loose and it almost ripped out the entire socket. Thankfully nothing seemed damaged. This happened around 9 months ago.
Overall since I can game at 1440P at a really good FPS and keep my gpu at 55-60C MAX ... and my ryzen 1700 staying under 65C max we came to the conclusions the very unfortunate mishaps I had ended up frying the vrms. I'll continue to use my machine as lightly as possible to see if it has any issues with the sleep mode problem until my new motherboard comes in. Decided to get this one
I think the cooler is overkill unless you plan to get into serious overclocking. The 2700x comes with a decent cooler.
You can get a good x470 motherboard for half of what you're planning to pay. I'm very happy with this one: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07CF31C1Q/ If you do go with the more expensive one, just make sure whatever extra features it has are worth the cost
I'm running a Ryzen 2700x with an RTX2070, and I'm finding it to be a great combo for VR and flat games
I have this motherboard: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07CF31C1Q/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
this RAM: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?item=N82E16820232175
&#x200B;
I don't really know enough about the motherboard to understand the status LED's / Qcodes (this is my first build, not really sure what to do)
&#x200B;
I'm in the process of reinstalling windows, and will update if that helps. Again, the build did sometimes boot properly, and I encountered no problems after the boot itself when I was using it.
Yeah, here's everything

this one would be good, right?
Firstly change the ram to either 3000mhz or 3200mhz, don't get anything lower if you're getting Ryzan
$59 USD: GIGABYTE GA-A320M-S2H
$100 USD: MSI B450 Tomahawk
$229 USD: Gigabyte X470 AORUS Gaming 7
I’ll definitely switch out the PSU, thanks!
Also, the Tomahawk is still $100 at Amazon.
https://www.amazon.com/MSI-Crossfire-Motherboard-B450-Tomahawk/dp/B07F7W5KJS/ref=sr_1_2?gclid=Cj0KCQjw9pDpBRCkARIsAOzRzivpKkqx4gDSfR_TCjm2nH8pL6SHMQv3SbFXO6FpaeDvdXbDgKVV2-saAiP0EALw_wcB&hvadid=323066017101&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=9011561&hvnetw=g&hvpos=1t1&hvqmt=b&hvrand=12795187376135893029&hvtargid=aud-646118600766%3Akwd-606182514617&hydadcr=24335_11044551&keywords=msi+-+b450+tomahawk&qid=1562698808&s=gateway&sr=8-2
There you go.
It's cheaper on other vendors though.
I imagine you’re talking about this? tomahawk
Is it necessary? I do like how it looks compared to the more expensive version I have picked out. Not to mention saves $10 but it is much more expensive than the first one I have picked. Is it necessary and worth the original purchase or is it something I could wait on and maybe upgrade later
Edit: it’s only $25 more so that’s not bad but then another $50 for the 1tb so it’s a $75 upgrade
I've been looking to do a ryzen build. I have most of my parts (Ryzen 5 2600X, G.SKILL Trident Z RAM, psu, case and storage). The only two left are the motherboard and the GPU.
Is a MSI B450 Tomahawk for the motherboard and an MSI GTX 1660 Ti good choices? I can currently get both on Amazon.com as I have some gift card balance on there (too bad I can't use that balance on amazon.ca).
https://www.amazon.com/MSI-GeForce-GTX-1660-Ti/dp/B07N824KNV
https://www.amazon.com/MSI-Crossfire-Motherboard-B450-Tomahawk/dp/B07F7W5KJS
I would say that your best bet would be to take the gamble on the MSI B450 Tomahawk -- or, if you can wait until it is released, the MSI B450 Tomahawk MAX. The reason I am suggesting this board in particular is that it has good VRM, which will be good for overclocking, though at the 3600-tier, it probably won't matter, but most importantly, it features BIOS flashback, which means you will not need a Ryzen 1000 or 2000-series CPU to update the BIOS to accept a Ryzen 3000-series.
Yes, that means you will lose out on the pretty GUI BIOS, but in the end, it should just work. That's what is important, right?

nope since AMD are bro's they kept the same socket for Zen, Zen+ and Zen 2. Sure you wont get the PCI4 but who gives a shit. https://www.amazon.com/MSI-Crossfire-Motherboard-B450-Tomahawk/dp/B07F7W5KJS
$115. The Max version is backordered a couple weeks. The version that would need the BIOS updated via USB is available from Amazon now.
You're def right about the RAM.
As for cpu/mobo
something like this?

(R52600x) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07B428V2L/
Anything a lifelong Intel user will need to know when switching to AMD?
The 3600 is not a motherboard.
If you truly want to, you could buy the MSI b450 Tomahawk mobo for $114, only $10 more.
You’ll have to update the Bios and hope it works though. MSI Arsenal Gaming AMD Ryzen 1st and 2nd Gen AM4 M.2 USB 3 DDR4 DVI HDMI Crossfire ATX Motherboard (B450 Tomahawk) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07F7W5KJS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_Qr6FDbP3X2QTV
Otherwise I recommend getting an X570. It’s worth the money
go with 2700x instead of the 1900x. if you have a use case for high core count then i recommend the 2950x. but you probably don't need it because the 2700x is awesome. 2700x also has 8 cores like the 1900x but you can go am4 rather than tr4 and save money on your motherboard. you'll also have a lesser power draw and a more compact case. 850W seems more than enough i think you can downsize to 650W. i like to spend a little more on the power supply. by going 2700x i would spend some of the money saved on a higher rated power supply. also if you switch to 2700x the stock cooler is pretty based so you can save money by using it. for memory i suggest using samsung b-die it had better success with 1st gen ryzen.
here's a parts list for a decent 2700x build:

https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA68V7V28503
that prices out around $1050. it does not price in a graphics card, for which the Sapphire Vega 56 card you listed is already a great pick. i think those go for around $300 today. if you can re-use your current case and already have thermal paste you can decrease the price by about $150. assuming you can get a Sapphire Vega 56 for around $300 this build prices out $1200 total.

I read on pcpartspicker that they are. However; it says slot #1 will disable 2 sata ports. I believe there are 4 on this mobo. So will sata ports #1 and #2 be disabled but #3 and #4 still functional?
Thanks for the help and sorry if dumb question.

For Mobo, I love the gaming pro carbon, very very nice especially if you want WiFi capability (it's pretty fast for a stock card), otherwise, I'd check out a b450 tomahawk:

Youre going to have a hard time getting 144 fps at 1080p with a 1070, I'd go with at least an rtx 2060 or GTX 1070ti for those extra frames...
I removed the windows license,

MSI B450 Tomahawk is a much better motherboard (esp. if you plan to overclock), and costs ~$11 more than the B450 Aorus elite.
Thank you for your list, I will definitely be getting a better video card. One other question, would you recommend this (https://www.amazon.com/MSI-Crossfire-Motherboard-B450-Tomahawk/dp/B07F7W5KJS/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1549515648&amp;sr=8-3&amp;keywords=ASRock+-+B450+Pro4+ATX+AM4+Motherboard) motherboard instead of the ASRock B450? It seems to have better reviews on Amazon.

You can refer to this list in regards to motherboard cooling (of the VRM components). The 2700x boosts by default to a point that OC is not necessary, and OC can be detrimental to performance on the X tier CPUs. However, it can increase performance when done correctly. If that's your goal, then the Tomahawk is a good option. Either way, depending on the case, airflow, and dust cleaning schedule, it will help with the extra heat.

Is this the motherboard you had in mind? I haven't found any significantly cheaper than this one.
Thank you for suggestion. Which B450 MB would you suggest? There are so many. What do you think of this?
Now that I think, 190$ for a MB for a CPU that I won't overclock seems too redundant.
My bad, this one
In short this should work?

I know I have to get the free compatibility kit from Cooler Master to fit the CPU/motherboard, but I didn't know it had to be compatible with the case as well. I'd love suggestions to any coolers that would be great alternatives.
Thanks! I am looking at an MSI one right now..

Thanks, I think I'll purchase the Ripjaws DDR4.
I need a motherboard that has VGA compatibility, and I'm not sure if the ASRock AB350 fits that. I did a bit of looking and I found the Asus B350 on Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-Prime-B350-Plus-Ryzen-Motherboard/dp/B06X416NJ1?tag=georiot-pcg-20&amp;ascsubtag=pcg-913810906-20). I figure getting a motherboard made for Ryzen would be worth the extra money in the long run, what do you think?

The CPU is good enough for the game you will be playing, the motherboard is good enough and more expensive ones sell you feature you don't need. The RAM will do you fine and is enough for any game you want and the GPU will be perfect for 1080p with 3GB of VRAM. For storage, go with a cheap 500GB HDD but I would certainly recommend an SSD for the future. The power supply will do you fine no matter what anyone else says, trust me (powers my R9 280X which is a LOT more power hungry).
I would recommend looking round Ebay, Facebook selling sites etc etc for any used components or 'starting points' with Ebay being the best bet in my opinion due to the massive amounts of sellers. If you see a 6600 or a 6600k for the same or less than on Amazon, snag it up and make sure to have a CPU cooler with it (stock will do you again, I have experience with 6600/6500 running on stock coolers and it's perfectly fine)
Sorry if the response looks rushed, I had a better one but I clicked something and it deleted :'(
Would love to hear about how the build goes, may your frames be high and temperatures at a low enough level!
EDIT BEFORE POSTING : 'Bomba' recommended an 8GB RX 470 - that's pointless for 1080p in my opinion and having a Pentium Dual core isn't something anyone would crave. I also have bad experience with Corsair PSUs but I haven't tried the 450W.
