I'm about to buy parts and build a PC for gaming and editing. I heard good things about Ryzen 5 has enough performance and good budget.

My build gonna be Ryzen 5 1600 + B350 AM4 + 1x8GB 2666MHz + RX 480 8GB

I don't have much knowledge and experience about PC.

Can you tell me how to do first boots and how is it going to work properly? What to do next after boots with BIO? What I have to install and update for first use? (give me tutorial videos if you have)

I knew MSI just released 3 new B350 motherboards. Do they better than MSI B350 Tomahawk? I feel like its not safe to buy Tomahawk coz read a lot of reviews about common issues. Don't know which B350 should I buy (any good and bad experiences). Can I OC to 2667MHz using 2666MHz speed RAM?

Best thing to do first is A: Search for certain topics in the forum first because there are a ton of things that have already answered your questions here B: Go to Youtube as there are also a ton of videos out there that explain all of this in tutorials.

nice combo. What do you mean by "Can I oc to 2667 with 2666 MHz ram"? Overclock What? Why do you want to oc ram by one megahertz? This won't make any difference?

First boots: just set ram frequency right in bios settings (by default it usually very low) .after you install os, video drivers, and usually that's all.Windows will install all required updates.

I don't know, just look at these links. You can see Tomahawk supported 2667MHz OC but this Memory has 2666MHz. I'm confusing???

Forget about overclocking your ram modules at this point. Just focus on looking up tutorials on you tube. Gl
