Hi there,
I strongly recommend going for the Ryzen chip with the aftermarket cooler because of performance and because the amount of cores and Threads. This chip will be good for lots of things other than gaming icase the user ever decides to branch out into other things to do with their pc.

For a good priced Motherboard, I would recommend an ASUS B350-PLUS Motherboard. Or even an X99 if you have the budget.
