Hi mates,

I'm about to build a system for my brother with:

- Ryzen 5 1600X
- Corsair CMK16GX4M2A2666C16 (2x8, 2666, CL16)
- Nvidia GT 710

It will be used for home video edition, browsing and regular office suite...
I've checked probably the entire lineup of AM4 motherboards looking for reliability and durability:

Asrock AB350 PRO4, because of its 9+2 Phases.
Gigabyte AB350 GAMING 3, 7+1 Phases, similar pricing and better audio.

Questions:

Thanks a lot!
 
Solution
More phases is always better, even if you're not overclocking. The audio difference wouldn't be big enough to justify me taking it over the ASRock mobo. It seems ASRock killed it with the AM4 boards this time around.
