Gaming, multitasking and editing.

[Minorika]

Here,s the build that i want:

R7 1700x

G. Skill Ripjaws V 2x8 3200Mhz

Cooler Master MasterCase Pro 5

EVGA Supernova G2 650w 80+ gold

 

Is the ram compatible with this build since since the page on amazon says its made for z170/x99

If so should i wait for ram which is compatible with ryzen to come out?

 

I already have a GPU, SSD, HDD and an OS:

MSI RX 480 8gb gaming x

Samsung 850 evo 265gb

WD blue 3tb

Windows 10 pro 64bit

 

Which Motherboard should i get?

The Asus Crosshair VI?

The Asus x370 Pro?

Or the Asus b350 Plus?

Are there better ones than those?

I never had a Motherboard from other manufacturers so i,m a little anxious too switch.

I,m looking to overclock my CPU so should a get an air cooler or a water cooler?

Should i manually overclock or get a strong cooler and let XFR do it,s thing?

 

What i want to do is heavy multitasking, gaming, editing and streaming.

The programms i use are:

Fraps

Audacity

Handbrake

Virtualdub

Hitfilm 4 Express

why not the 1700? its about the same performance as the 1700x, cheaper, lower TDP and what not.

But it doesn,t have XFR right?

No but IMO XFR isn't going to do much, a manual OC with a decent cooler is likely going to get you further, if you are somewhat lucky with the silicon lottery at least

i just means it can AUTO over clock from what i read, by itself. but doing it manually does the same. i mean....the 1700 is 3.0Ghz base, 3.7Ghz turbo, and the 1700x is 3.4Ghz and 3.8Ghz turbo. and most ryzen chips are OC to 3.9-4.1(if your lucky) that XFR IMO (dont get me wrong i love both AMD and intel, not either fanboy) but the XFR stuff is crap. you get another 100Mhz if cooling is good

So i should get the 1700 instead?

Is the lower clockspeed going to do much?
