Hi everyone ,I want to build a new PC and I know only the basic about it but i need your view to follow .I need it for multitasking and different tasks like editing on Photoshop and other aplications of Adobe and for gaming ( if i need it sometime in the future ) .My budget is 800€ - 1100€ without the price of the mouse ,keyboard, headphones etc. I'm thinking about the CPU of AMD RYZEN 1700 and this is my base for the other components and i choose it because it serves me everything i need for my PC .Can you tell me your opinion about MOTHERBOARD ASUS PRIME b350 PLUS ?Can you suggest me some parts of the PC and tell me your opinion about them ?

Where are you located specifically? The EuroZone has a variety of pricing/availability, depending on specifics....

As for components, it'll depend on your priorities and specific programs.

The Ryzen7 1700 is a great chip, BUT, for example;
if you prioritize gaming, and editing is a small hobby - a Ryzen5 1600 would save you quite a bit of money, can OC to 3.8GHz to better the stock clock speed of the 1700 (potentially 3.9 or 4.0GHz with a bit of luck) and would still have a solid number of cores/threads (6/12) for editing.
The additional funds saved from the cheaper CPU should allow a better GPU, better for gaming.

If editing etc is your source of income, and the programs you use can utilize the 8c/12t of the Ryzen7, then it...
What country are you in? That helps us give more accurate pricing for part lists.

Considering you want it for Photoshop and all, the Ryzen 7 1700 is pretty good. The ASUS PRIME b350 Pro does not exist, thus I assume you mean the ASUS PRIME b350 Plus.

It is a pretty basic board for starters but is not that great for future expansivity.

If that's your source of income, then you'd want stability with no headaches....so perhaps OCing wouldn't be viable..... then the 1700X or 1800X with their higher clock speeds might make sense.

Too many variables, based on what you've shared thus far.

The Prime B350-Gaming Pro Carbon and ASUS B350-Plus are.... fine? Not sure which board you're talking about specifically. Nothing spectacular about them really, but completely functional and solid boards.
