Looking for a good motherboard

ThePcNewbie321 · Jun 19, 2017

I'm currently picking parts for my first PC, for the GPU I went with a gtx 1070, and for the CPU I chose a Ryzen 5 1600,going with 16GB of RAM too.I'm not looking to get another 1070 in the future so that leaves x370 motherboards out of the question, I'm currently looking at B350 motherboards.Which one would you recommend?

MSI B350 Tomahawk!

There is also the Gigabyte GA-AB350-GAMING 3

Currently top rated MoBo on PCPartPicker beating out the MSI B350 Tomahawk

Both motherboards look great! Can't go wrong with either one.... All preference for looks at this point!

Oh yeah... just a side note here... With Ryzen... Get the Fastest RAM you can afford (DDR4-3000 or DDR4-3200), plus make sure you have the latest UEFI BIOS installed for whichever board is your final choice. Ryzen benefits from faster RAM.

I'm going with this: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/Nqp323/gskill-memory-f43200c16d16gvrb
That should be good enough right?

It should be good to go.

Just note that manufacturer RAM QVL lists are not comprehensive because new motherboards are constantly released. Motherboard manufacturers also have the same problem when it comes to RAM and QVL lists.
