hello everyone

- ryzen 1600 ( planing to OC to 3.8 with stock cooler )
- Adata 8gb XPG z1 red 3000Mhz
- MSI 1050ti Gaming X 4gb

planing to get adequate 'am4' motherboard for the next 3-4 years untill new Zen generation comes out, i know what to buy ( VRM, Capacitors, Features etc ...) but i need more information from People who used the next Motherboards:

- msi b350 gaming plus
- msi b350 pc mate
- msi b350m mortar
if you used any of these MOBOs please share your experience.

I have just built the exact same system, with 16gb ram instead of 8gb and the 1060 instead of the 1050ti. As for mobo I am using the gaming plus, and I absolutely love it. It has 6 fan headers, while asus prime b350 plus (which I was comparing to at the time) only has two, has a nice big ram vrm which is good for ocing ram. I have oced my 1600 to 3.8GHz on this board. The bios on it is easy to navigate and has plentiful options for oc. Updating the bios was a flash. Also has very nice red leds, but this won't matter if you do't have a case with a side panel to show it off.

As for the pc mate I don't know much about it, but I definitely wouldn't go for the mortar as it is a micro atx mobo and as far as my experience, ocing is not as...

Not sure if the MSI would be the best if your overclocking, not only their bios not as good, their overclocks are not very consistent.
Try to find the B350 Fatal1ty at good price, its one of the best B350's.

i love it also, i checked its Newegg and Amazon reviews and most of PPl are happy with it.
going for 3.8 also, so based on your info i will pick the Gaming plus.
better capacitors , more fans, better look.

Asrock pro4 and Fatality, Msi pro carbon and Asus rog-F are the the top best, no question about it but its not a choice where i live, either super expensive due to currency or unavailable.
