Help me with my mobo/cable

guilhermefurlan · Oct 20, 2017

Hey fellows, I`m building my pc and I`ve been reading some reviews about motherboards, but couldn`t decide which one I should go for.

And I`ve seen many people saying that they had some troubles with the asrock fatal1ty, I don`t really understand the reason they explained but it wasn`t only one saying, I`ve seen plenty people talking about that

Therefore, I think I`m going for any of these:

Asus B350M-A/CSM
or
Gigabyte AB350M-Gaming 3
or
AM4 MSI B350 Tomahawk
or
AM4 MSI B350 Gaming Plus
or
Asrock Fatal1ty AB350 Gaming K4 (if it`s not bad, could be an option)
or
Asrock AB350 Pro4
or
Asus B350-Plus Prime
or
Gigabyte AB350 Gaming 3
or
MSI B350 Gaming Plus

Which one of these are the best ? Can you guys rank at least a top 3 please ?

My budget covers any of these, so don`t worry about pricing, worry about seeing which one is a good quality mobo

My settings:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 1600
Cooler: Amd`s stock cooler
GPU: GTX 1060 6 GB msi gaming x
mobo: Still don`t know
storage: Not sure about the brand, but it`s 1 TB
ram memory: 8gb 2400 mhz ddr4
case: Haven`t bought so far

Also, I gotta buy a DVI-D cable for my future mobo and my current monitor, can I buy any or there`s a quality scale which I have to look for a good one ?

Thanks!

PS: I don`t plan to overclock, but I`d like to have an oc mobo, since I could actually want to oc in the future!
Still, I don`t want a mATX mobo, so just ignore if any of these is mATX, I would like to have a decent sized mobo, and also with 4 ram`s slot, that`s what I`m looking for.

Any of those will do. It is all about features. I personally will pick MSI B350 gaming pro carbon. RAM can be faster, Ryzen loves 3000+ RAM. My edits:

Yeah bro but the pro carbon isn't an option for now, not agailable here actually,

About the ram, the 3000 mhz is out of my budget sorry, but asap I get enough money I'm gonna get a second one with 3000 mhz or more

Still about mobos, can you rank top 3 ?

guilhermefurlan · Oct 21, 2017

I'm going to buy it in Paraguai, and all these mobos I got from their websites and so they all have the same price

I wanna know which one could be better to my settings and give me a better performance, this kind of stuff you know

About the RAM memory, I`m able to buy any of these two

DDR4 8GB 2666MHZ Corsair Vengerance LPX CMK8GX4M1A2666C16R Red
or
DDR4 16GB 2666MHZ Corsair Vengerance LPX CMK16GX4M1A2666C16 Black

Of course the second one is more expensive, I`d only buy it if it is really worth buying and if I have the money by the time I go to buy them

The first one looks like a good option btw, and it`s not over my main budget, so I wouldn`t pass it over and maybe in the future I could be able to buy another 8gb ram with no problem at all, do you guys think I should pass my budget now and get the second one or get the first one meanwhile I save money for getting a second one in the future (depending on how much I can save, I could even get a 8gb 3000 mhz as a second ram)

Can mobo run different ram mhz ? I mean, one 8 gb 2666 mhz and another one 3000 mhz with no problem ?

Thanks guys!

Get the one of the ASRock Pro 4/Tomahawk/Asus B350 plus prime, check features you like. 8GB is good enough for current gaming. Don't mix rams even they are same specs. Always buy a pack.

guilhermefurlan · Oct 21, 2017

Going for the ASRock Pro 4

Why I can`mix them ?

vapour · Oct 21, 2017

A pack of rams has been tested to work together

separate packs haven't been tested.
