Hello guys, building my first pc, need some help :D.


Cpu: Ryzen 1600
Psu: PSU EVGA GQ 650W
hdd: Western Digital - Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM
ssd: SanDisk - SSD PLUS 240GB 2.5
Case: nzxt s340

So I need to decide which motherboard and ram should I get.

Basically, motherboard price should be around 80-100 euros, im really thinking about getting msi
b350 pc mate.

https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/B350-PC-MATE.html#productFeature-section

And for the ram I would kinda want to have something with rgb, im thinking about G.Skill Trident Z RGB DDR4 16GB (2x8GB) 3000MHz
F4-3000C16D-16GTZR

And shop only has that one, and it seems that this specific ram isn't at qvl list, so am I really risking if i want to get that one ?:D
Or if it really doesnt work any other recomendations ?

Thank you.

I have the Trident Z ram and ASUS B350-F motherbaord. It was only $105 USD when I bought mine, not sure if there is a euro equivilant special for your lo9cal area.

If you dont already have it, I would strongly advise you get something else then the Sandisk SSD plus. It (as well as most budget tier SSD) use crappy Toshiba TLC chips that are actually real world slower then what was used in last generation drives (I would actually be suggesting the previous gen sandisk for budget). There is a sharp difference b/t these 3D TLC budget drives and one from crucial or samsung.

Don't worry! The QVL list just means what the manufacturer tested with the motherboard, it is not a full compatibility list. The G.Skill Trident Z RGB DDR4 16GB (2x8GB) 3000MHz will work 100% fine with the msi b350 pc mate. Go for it!
