Should the build be ok? any feedback would help a lot!

I'm still considering the ryzen 7 1700 for adobe after effects and 3dsMax

I'll get any gpu with a decent price around 300-400 bucks, so it's either the RX 580, RX Vega or the GTX 1070

No price on GPU and 580 has shit price, 1070 would perform better. No need of 750w PSU. Board has no XF/SLI support anyway

Looks alright. 750W is way more than you need.

 

Since the RX 580's price is probably going to be heavily inflated due to the miners, I'd look at getting a GTX 1070.

Be nice to each other boys and girls. And don't cheap out on a power supply.

DO NOT GET THAT KIT. there's a cl15 and cl14 version of it get that not the cl16. cl16 might work but the others WILL

 

and you don't need the 750W you can take less even with r7 OC (which i would recomend for 3ds)

I was actually getting a 650W psu, but with Vega's power consumption being quite high as I heard recently, I just gone with the highest wattage I can buy to remove any headaches in the future if I were to go with Vega ( sorry, I'm pretty ignorant about PSUs )

 

so should a 650W be fine? I thought an additional headroom in the psu could help alot

I can't find any kits around here besides the cl16 and it is in the motherboard's Memory QVL, does the cl14/cl15 kits yield any difference?

it will work at JEDEC standard but the XMP is likely to not work as intended. lower CL don't have that problem.

650W is more than fine.

 

As of now, considering RX Vega's performance (and the fact that pricing is all over the place currently), I would be leaning more towards the GTX 1070 unless you have a FreeSync monitor.

yup I do have a freesync monitor, but the power consumption holding me back, oh and also price

I'm really struggling with these picks, I was originally only intending on getting a RX 580 since I was only plannning on gaming at 1080p

uhh, sorry for this, but what is JEDEC and XMP?

Budget? I went with the prices of your build + $300 for now, let me know if you need it cheaper.

I can't find the Pro4 anywhere here,

also, if I paired a ryzen 1700 with an ab350 fatal1ty motherboard, would it cause any trouble?

No but do you need those threads and cores?

I've been asking myself that question all day, the only reason I can find to justify getting an 8 core is its slight edge in after effects and blender while also "future-proofing" my pc as more applications and games utilizes more cores in the future.

 

Other than that, I don't see how losing some cores would affect me in the future

 

Also, is it safe to get a 650W psu for vega 56?

oh sorry jedec is the standard speed for the chips for all silicon. basically the default that defines DDR4 (and it's predecessors)

while XMP is a preinstalled overclocking profile that RAM is sold with. this is the number that is used in advertising.

I see, is that why Asrock tested the motherboard tested the RAM and got a speed of 2993Mhz instead of 3200Mhz?

is it possible that this will increase in the future with a cl 16 variant as more updates come from amd?

oh that speed is a ryzen issue because the ram clock has to be in sync with the infinity fabric, or rather they run at the same speed and the infinity fabric isn't as flexible clock wise as ram can be. so you can't do 3200 but it doesn't mean it can't go higher. it's just that number that's invalid. some overclockers have gotten further.

how did they achieved 3200Mhz? or is there some kind of silicon lottery in ram speeds too?

well just like with CPU you can alter the base clock but ram is much more complicated to overclock so i wouldn't recommend it to somebody new to this. you're more likely to hit higher speeds with some defaults than you are to correctly modify them to get you RAM's rated 3200
