Motherboard for Ryzen 1700

Raeks · Mar 20, 2017

Just putting together some parts for a Ryzen build. Doing it on Amazon so I can get prime 2 day shipping( want quick delivery, if anyone has used newegg premier please let me know if its good)

Question being, What are some good motherboard for the Ryzen 7 1700. I was going to go with the AsRock x370 killer but that is not on amazon. Then I was going to go with the Asus Prime x370pro but it seems to have some bad reviews.

I would like to know some decent board to OC with and that are not too expensive and what the better chipset is

Budget around1400, The only thing im trying to do tho is get it all off amazon with Prime so I can get it quickly, That or thinking of trying that Newegg premier or whatever it is

I have read a lot of negative reviews on the Asus Prime

GamingEnthusiast420 · Mar 20, 2017

Kostas_13 :

I also recommend either Asus or MSI. Too bad they haven't made any new ROG strix boards for Ryzen.

No problem. Good luck on your new PC

GamingEnthusiast420 · Mar 20, 2017

Note: If you are getting all the parts off of amazon then the price may be more/less per-part

Raeks · Mar 20, 2017

GamingEnthusiast420 :

Yeah I thought of that, its all good. Thanks again for the help

Raeks · Mar 20, 2017

GamingEnthusiast420 :

I looked at both the ASUS Prime B350-Plus and the ASUS Prime x370-PRO, The B350 seems to have better reviews. What would you recommend out of those 2

GamingEnthusiast420 · Mar 20, 2017

Raeks :

The X-370 Pro is mainly for higher end builds. It features 2 more SSD slots, has crossfire/sli support (multiple graphics units) and is compatible with more ram frequency types.

MaDDD · Mar 20, 2017

I have the ASUS Prime X370 and it's a good board, I chose it over the MSI X370 GAMING PRO CARBON as it comes with more & better quality accessories. 4 decent quality Sata cables instead of 2 cheap looking ones, High bandwidth SLI bridge instead of a normal cheaper one etc. It also has more places to connect fans, which is very useful for me and all the fans I use.

Mad_Irish1 · Mar 20, 2017

I like the Gigabyte Aorus x370 gaming 5. It has about the best memory support right now and most reviewers saying it overclock best.

Turns out the ASUS Prime B350-Plus is the only one in stock. It's still a half decent motherboard yeah? and can overclock?

GamingEnthusiast420 · Mar 20, 2017

More than half decent. It has great bios and overclocks easily.

I would advise you not to pair the 1700 and the 1070... but if its what you want then go for it. The only reason I say that is because there is an every so slight chance that you will create a small bottleneck. Probably won't happen though, and definitely not if you go for a 1700x.
Heres my take on your parts. Its basically the same list. In fact, I'm not even sure why I made it, but here it is.
