Hello guys imma get a new cpu and i settled on the 1600 ryzen , im using a 6100 i3 now and i need a new mobo and i want you to help em the best from the b350 series , i aslo use ddr4 crucial balistix with 2400 mhz 8gb and i wonder if i'll lose a lot of performance if i use those with the new ryzen or should i get higher frequency ram , but id rather now since my budget is limited atm ;D and maybe upgrade later.

Thanks

On ram, run the 2400. Prices are high right now, and while faster ram will help, it won't be enough to justify spending a bunch on a new ram kit if you already have the 2400 and are short on cash.

When I went to Microcenter, the sales guy basically said the difference wouldn't be noticeable. I have the Ryzen 1600 overclocked to 3.7, RX 480 8gb, and 8gb ddr 2400(crucial ballistix). Runs great.

As far as a board, here's the board I've got.

They do have a full size board, I've got the Micro version. However, so far it's running great and stable as a rock.

my budget is max 350€ i already have ram but at 2400 mhz and the ram prices areally high so id rather stick with those and buy 16 gb later down the line once the prices drop , will i see a lot of perofrmance loss?

I'm having the exact same problem. As a motherboard I chose the Gigabyte 350-gaming rev. 1. Good specs and a low price. I'm still doubting about the ram though.
