On one hand, yes Ryzen 1000 did dissapoint a little bit but honestly, Im still loving my Ryzen 5 1600 running OC at 3.975 GHz all-core.

Yea, my 1700 could only manage 3.8Ghz with 1.4V going in. It ran very hot even with a decent cooler at the time, so during the hot summer months I'd have to dial back the overclock to 3.6-3.7Ghz, or even just run stock.

 

Hell that 3.8Ghz overclock was only stable in games and rendering in Premiere Pro (10 minute or less video at 1080p). It only passed Cinebench if I didn't look at it wrong and refused to pass Prime95. It just was a lemon in general. At least my old C6H board and B-die RAM helped to make up for that.

 

Now I have a 9700K that easily does 5.1Ghz with only a bit more additional voltage and LLC. I could easily do more but I don't feel like it tbh.

Well Intel has always been good with those clock speeds, everyone knows that. And yea, a 1700 only hitting 3.8GHz is just straight up bad luck. You got a horribly binned chip man. It happens, thats why OC is never guaranteed.

 

Just keep in mind that 5.1GHz is cool and all, but Ryzen 3000's IPC improvements means that a 4.8-4.9 GHz OC CPU will outrun it even in single threaded fairly easily.

already got r7 1700, b350f with gtx970, still good for a few yrs gaming.

navi gpu ... maybe

zen 2 doesnt interest me that much, same prediction to zen 2 refresh  especially for highly spec x570 just introduced seem quite prototype. its a pass for me.

I will wait and see what amd has to offer at 2021

Ya Ive got a very similar rig. R5 1600 OC 3.975 GHz All-Core and GTX 980 OC and its doing great. I really do want to get the refreshed 7nm Ryzen 4000 next year but good news is, at least I already have a good rig if something goes wrong and I cant pickup the new rig!

I will be building a 4k gaming/workstation PC for my brother. My budget is around 3-3.5k euros. I'm planning for 3800x on some very high end Gygabite X570, 32 gigs of high speed DDR4 and 2080ti.

My cousin and my coworker, who is a really good friend, both plan on going with a 3000 series chip. My cousin doesn't have a lot of money so he was probably gonna go for a B450 board and a 3600X. Coworker has my old C6H board and he plans on getting either the 3800X or 3900X, depending on how the support is on the C6H and the gaming performance differences between the two.

Why not get a model under the top of the line motherboard and get a 3900x instead. Or maybe the 3900x just fits in your budget

[orlando690]

I'm thinking

Mobo: x570 - $170 based on gigabytes cheapest price.

Cpu: 3600 - $210 based on some website, seems reliable enough

Gpu: 2080 - $660 based on msi ventus (love the backplate and its the cheapest I think)

Edit: missed out on such a great deal. 

Ram: 16GB 3200- $83 based on a deal I can get for patriot

M.2: xpg 512 GB - $75 based on deal.

Psu: cheapest bronze I can find will probably be $35. This is just to swap psus from a gpu-less build. 850W

Taxes: $123.3

Total: $1356.3

What are your thoughts and suggestions?

I'm still planning. I will have to see what prices will look the in UK. Then I will have a reference point for build plan.

Well there might be issues running Ryzen 3000 on 400 series chipsets. Since there are alot of changes in the new chips along with the fact that the chipsets are overheating on the new boards, it might not be the best idea to mix the old and the new. Theres just alot of new changes that could affect compatibility. Even ASUS has officially stated (according to Linus) that they straight up do not support using first gen boards and highly recommend against using second gen boards with Ryzen 3000.

 

You could always just get the cheapest X570 there is and then a fairly cheap 6-Core and be good. Then do as I did with my R5 1600 build and get the cheapest 2800+MHz RAM you can find and have a fairly decent setup that shouldnt have issues for relatively cheap.

I would definitely NOT get a cheap PSU on ANY build EVER. People have seen just how nasty a PSU failure can be. I would say put some more budget into the PSU and go for something around 650-750 watts with anything above just standard bronze efficiency  and you will be fine to overclock and everything.

Well regardless, thats the point, I wouldn't do it
