Ryzen Bundle

[truemax]

Ok so I messed up, had thermal paste on cpu pins and inside motherboard cpu socket.
Took out of the case, gave a clean. Won't power on. Shortening pins wont work either.

Pushing powersupply connector on mobo as hard as possible will power. Weird

So i'm thinking of grabing this from amazon :

ADMI COMPONENT BUNDLE: AMD Ryzen 3 1200 Quad Core 3.4GHz CPU, ASUS Prime A320M-K Motherboard Bundle - No RAM

£110

OR Alternative 

 

Ryzen 1200 from local shop for £56

MSI A320M PRO-M2 V2 for £48

My worry is that both motherboards have x16 slots NO x8. And my 1050 ti wouldnt work on b350 prime plus in it. So i'm kind of worried in a way.

What to do

A320 motherboards are terrible, even the cheapest B450 motherboard is preferable. What kind of options would you have?

Quick amazon search on b450 I see potential 

Gigabyte B450M DS3H,

MSI B450M PRO-M2, 

I do not need fancy atx motherboard. Won't be overclocking anyway.

From local shop only option B450M DS3H

I have heard from a friend that his A320 only lasted a year. Definitely go with a b450 preferably a cheaper x470 like the Asus prime X470 pro.

In my case x470 is overkill for 1st gen ryzen. I'd have to go to 2nd or 3rd gen. But then price would triple. Gonna check b450 in local shop tomorrow, wanna see what they'd recommend 

Spoiler

Intel 9900k, 2080ti when I come looking for b450

I totally understand. I would recommend not going with gigabyte but instead with the msi; as msi is much more reliable.
