So I've been doing some looking around and think I have my system parts wise put together but Still getting hung up on the memory and could use advise on that as well as some other questions I have to make sure this will all work.
I use my machine for a bit of everything 3D (Lightwave), Video/Photo using Premiere, After Effects, Photoshop, Illustrator (pre CC), and gaming. Gaming wise I like to have thing look good (High to Very High) but not a stickler for "I have to have the best always"
Right now I'm just trying to get all my parts picked out so I can take advantage of black friday deals, but in general I was looking to get this built between now and early next year. No real budget in mind just trying to get a good build that will last a good number of years and get some deals on parts if I can.
Here is what I'm looking at currently for my new build:
Processor: Ryzen 7 1700 (I plan to try and overclock to 3.7 or 3.8) or 1700x if overclocking is to complicated for me
Motherboard: ASUS Prime X370-Pro
Processor Cooling: Stock cooler that comes with 1700
Memory: G.SKILL Flare X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 3200 (32gb in future)
Video Card: For now I'm going to re-use my Nvidia 970 but plan to upgrade to a 1070 or 1080 in the future
OS: Win 10 64bit Pro
Storage: Samsung 960 Pro 512gb M.2 + 2 4tb drives from previous build
Case: Cooler Master MasterCase Pro 6 or Be Quiet! Silent Base
Power Supply: I haven't picked yet
So here are my questions:
1. so as I said above I am going to try and overclock the processor to either 3.7 or 3.8, I don't have any prior experience with overclocking. I found a video saying you can up the speed and voltage in the AMD Ryzen Master program, is it really that simple? If it is more complicated then that then I'm not sure I want to go fooling around with what I don't know and would just switch to a 1700x and call it a day.
2. Now with memory I've been reading alot of different things and just want to get this straightened out. I went on G.Skills site and put in the motherboard above and the highest speed they say to use with it is 2400, but I have seen other post saying they have been getting 3200 to work. But when I change the motherboard to a Crosshair VI Hero it shows 3200 being compatible. Now I've seen that if you are overclocking it likes fast memory, so is the use of the 3200 that I posted above only usable if the memory is also overclocked or how does that work and what would be recommended for this build?
3. For the the stock cooler that comes with the 1700 (if I go that route) will that be enough to cool the processor if I overclock it to the 3.7/3.8 range?
