    a lot of people recommend B450 tomahawk because many reviewers recommend it. but my experience is these youtubers often make hard things look real simple lol. On paper, it makes a lot of sense. B450 tomahawk is cheap, and has strong VRMs...however, to this day, MSI still haven't gotten the bios right on the Tomahawk. From what I see, it is 50/50 if you get it working good or not. So I'd stay away from the B450 Tomahawk until they have a good bios.

     

    i was a very early adopter of 3rd Gen Ryzen on B450. Bought them 2 days after ryzen 3000 was released. I built 2 new Ryzen systems and went with MSI B450 Gaming Pro Carbon ACs...at first, there were also bios gremlins. The computers would have trouble booting. It would take multiple tries. Once booted, they were rock solid. HOWEVER, as of Bios Version 18, they fixed everything. The computers (look at my sig) are now rock solid, no issues, and the B450 Pro Carbon maxes my 3700x. I have no problems recommending this board now

    The latest bios is good indeed, I asked the salesperson to flash it to the latest one when I got the board, which is v1A. It would still throw a CPU Error on boot, but when I almost lost hope, it booted correctly on the 4th attempt. Now there aren't any issues at all, but the only options I did in the bios were to enable virtualization and A-XMP. I read the horror stories at r/msi_gaming and was ready to return the board.

     

    There's a new beta bios from a few days ago, but I won't bother with it. It's definitely not a board I'd recommend for beginner PC builders.

    Update 18/11/2018 20:29 GMT – A spokesperson from Nvidia has reached out to us to dismiss this story. Stating that the item is simply out of stock. Instead of showing as “out of stock”, the NVIDIA website simply removes the item from the store, which led us to believe that the item had been de-listed. This is false and we apologise for supplying false information. We’ll update again as any information arrises to that fact, or otherwise. 

     

  3. The FX-8350 was actually not that bad when it first came out, but in games it had lesser performance than Sandy and Ivy Bridge. That was mainly due to the Bulldozer architecture which had very limited FP performance. The original Bulldozer CPUs like the 8150 were actually really terrible and worse than the Phenom II in terms of IPC.

    So sorry, but why they would boost only one core to 3.9? Why not all of them?

     

    Also, using MSI Afterburner showing all cores, every one of them is at 3,7 under load. So, it isnt supposed to one of them be at 3.9?

    It will boost to 3.9 GHz only in very specific single core loads and it most likely won't be sustained for long. Single core turbo is just like Intel's TDP - the only purpose it serves is marketing.

    sorry you didnt get the point because i didnt expalain much 

    i dont really care that much about that  340$ difference i just want to know what would give me better gaming experience

    Why not both? Get the one you want more first. They provide different gaming experiences. Getting a gaming PC makes more sense if you are into online games, while the PS4 has better singleplayer exclusives and RDR2.
