Well if you don't plan to upgrade the CPU to an unlocked CPU then there is no point of the Z370 board. The B360 would be suffice. You can get cheaper RAM if you wanted too

Here's an AMD build. Doing a quick search on what you would need in a music creation PC FL studio likes more cores

They both have 1050ti's but just in case you want to play some games. If you do not want the 1050ti you need to buy a graphics card for the Ryzen build

thanks for replying, I like the z370 as I may decide to get a better processor with overclocking in a few years, so it has the advantage of future proofing. I dont understand what the advantages are of getting the B360? what do yuo think?

I wont be playing games, I should of mentioned that, so would prefer an intel processor with onboard graphics
getting cheaper RAM is a good shout though I may end up getting cheaper.

I really just wanted to know of this build fits together.
