Going to build a new PC

Habitual_Offender · Nov 5, 2017

Going to build new AMD based system for gaming and to start streaming. I will be using some components temporarily from my current PC, graphics card hard drives etc... I would like suggestions for a mother board and processor. I have been thinking 1700X and I would like this to be a several year computer. I have no idea what the current status for mother boards for ryzen and could use some help. I will purchase other components over the next 4 months.
Thanks for your help.

No need for 1700X, just get 1700 and x370 and overclock with stock cooler comes with 1700. It can perform on par or better than 1700X.

Assume you don't have DDR4 ram already, which is required by Ryzen.

No need to get a x370 for a single gpu setup. Go for a good b350 like the msi tomahawk.

Got "B350 is not good enough to do serious overclocking on 1700 due to poor VRM design" from this youtube tech guy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGrxhf_xZWI

He was talking about serious overclocking, like if you want to push past 4.0 in ryzen.
For 3.9ghz, a b350 would do.
