Posted March 7, 2017 I'm building a new PC which will have the following Specs: --Already Owned CPU: Ryzen 7 1700 RAM: Corsair LPX (4x8GB) DDR4 3000Mhz GPU: XFX RX 480 8GB Storage: MyDigitalSSD BPX 480GB + SanDisk 480GB + WD 2TB Cooling: Corsair H100i GTX The only part I'm still debating on is the MB: I have the GB Aorus Gaming 5 X370 Back-ordered, and I was wondering what type of advantages or disadvantages the MB would have above the MSI Tomahawk B350 ? I won't be running more than a single GPU, and I won't go crazy overclocking the CPU (Probably will have the 1700 at 3.9 Ghz). The only drawback I can clearly see that the Gigabyte will support faster memory vs the 2667 Mhz on the Tomahawk and more USB and SATA ports. Does it really worth it to pay +$100 for the Aorus X370? Would it be a better investment in the future? Or shall I invest the +$100 in buying other components? Appreciate it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted March 7, 2017 from what i have heard apparently some of the b350 boards don't have manual voltage option. https://hardforum.com/threads/ryzen-7-1700-b350-overclocking-tidbits.1926296/ here is where i got that info from.

I really like it but the problem in my opinion with all the AM4 Motherboards that they lack reviews, because BIOS is not optimized yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
