Okay I've started picking out products to build my PC finally. I'm looking for advice on the most affordable places to be buying this stuff.
So I was going to go with an AMD processor, since they're supposed to be cheaper.
So I'm looking at this MSI B350 chipset Gaming Plus mobo, which I might pay ~$85 for from Amazon if that sounds reasonable, to use with an AMD Ryzen 5 series... on Am4 socket
https://www.msi.com/Motherbo…/B350-GAMING-PLUS/Specification
...but I'm not sure if I want the AMD 1500X, 1600, or 1600X -- which one basically depends on the price I can get it for. Like, the 6 cores on the 1600x is nice, but if the price is a lot higher than the 4 core CPUs, i can settle.
https://www.amazon.com/AMD-Processor-Wraith-C…/…/ref=sr_1_2…
Should I be buying this stuff from Amazon or is there a better retailer?
Lastly for now... mobo supports 4x DDR4 1866/ 2133/ 2400/ 2667(OC)/ 2933(OC)/ 3200(OC)+ Mhz ---- which, I know what DDR4 is as opposed to DDR3, but all of those specific numbers and and how that interacts with the processor's maximum Mhz or whatever is beyond me. Like, should I basically just be getting the cheapest 16gb DDR4s? I know nothing about overclocking, although id imagine i will learn.
The mobo and processor and RAM will take up the maximum of the money I can spend on it right now, although I think I'll be wanting an ATX full sized case next, right?
The AMD will come with a Wraith somethjing or other cooling system that I'm not sure if I'll have to learn how to install... or what other parts and cables and thing and whatevers that i'll need to do that.
But I think this is the basis of my first build so any advice from there would be appreciated.
