Hi Guys,

Parts List:
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/cfmrjc

I want your thoughts on my build, what I am looking for basically is;

1- I want to be able to overclock the CPU a little bit at least 3.7GHz or maybe ~3.8Ghz with the stock cooler
2- I want my RAM to run on 2933Mhz stable even if that is not possible for now (I mean hopefully possible in the future with BIOS update being released)

I plan on gaming @ 1080p on Ultra settings on the 24" AOC monitor I am going to buy since it also has the Freesync technology paired with my already purchased Sapphire RX 580 Nitro+ OC 8GB GDDR5, the case I am using is the Antec GX330 with 2 pre-installed case fans:
- 1 x 120 mm blue LED front intake fan
- 1 x 120 mm blue LED rear exhaust fan

**PS: I already struggled making the final motherboard decision and after thorough research I decided on the Asus Prime B350-PLUS, it seems the right fit and within budget more than the other B350 chipset models with its decent reviews

Any suggestions regaring any of the parts? is the Gigabyte AB350 Gaming 3 or the MSI MORTAR a better choice for the motherboard??

Thanks in advance

I have Ryzen 5,1600 (65W),x370,3200 tridentZ stock 18-18-18-45-56..and stock/orig cooler...My 24/7 OC=3.6Ghz 85W(stock 1.25V),14-14-14-30-56 (stock 3.5V).CineB=1206/112. CPU Temp is a factor. I pref max like 65 degrees when gaming, 70-75 degrees is ok in prime95 etc, else lover volt or get better cooling. More Volt=more Watt=more money=more noise, so i prefer OC ram timing over fast CPU, its faster in most cases. Ryzen max temp=ca 75-80

Set Ram to 2666 or 2966mhz(above result in very high ram timings)...try CPU 3.6 or 3.7Ghz bcs RyZ1600 is very stable here, and for me best OC pr watt....... try really high timings that is stable, like 18-18-18-46-56...in step up (0.05 increase) the Volt on both CPU(max-1.375v) and RAM (max-1.45V)..do...

Thanks Mike,

Where I live the 1600X is $50 more expensive than the 1600, not mentioning that I will have to buy a cooler with it which mean even more $$+

And I am already over budget. Not planning on any extreme OC just a few hundreds Mhz

High end cooler/MOBO or WaterC can give Ryzen 1600 (3.2Ghz) OC stable at 4Ghz, but why do that, to much watt/fan rpm in 24/7 use.
Someone did MAX OC on TridentZ=3600mhz 16-18-18 at 1.55V=higher VCCSA and VCCIO voltages ( about 1.25V )

My 24/7 stable sweetspot when OC is 3.6Ghz with very low Ram timings..no matter if i rise CPU and higher ramTimings or vise versa, CineB was about 1240. and my FPS games was always like 80-100fps..and I have not yet tried to rise the V...and when i do, this will only be for testbenching, and the fun of it, to see how high I can OC my CPU...the standing record out there on Rz1600 is about 4.25ghz... But for 24/7 gaming i dont need the extra 15-20% extra cpu power, bcs you need 60% more power(watt) and really bad/high Ram timings to achieve 3.8-4.2 Ghz.. to achieve 5-10 fps more in a game...no way..... but for fun,.....go for it... best advice=1:Get G.skill TridentZ3200....2: on stock cooling dont pass 3.6Ghz..3:try to find the lowest ram timings on min. power...4:stock V can give a pretty nice OC
