Oh sorry, misunderstood what you meant.  I was thinking in terms of budget but if you can afford a 1600 get one.  They are awesome and come with a great heatsink

Yes B350 is the cheapest available right now. Even if you don't care about OC its nice to know the board can do it

Ryzen 1600.  MOBO can't OC but it's OK.

Ryzen is better no doubt, they even showed how an R7 beating i7 6900k in their blender demo

if you do stuff in blender, the 1600 will benefit you massively. Though you should get 8GB ram nonetheless.

Ryzen 1600 is by all means a superior processor than the i5 7500.

it's pointless buying an overclockable cpu on a non overclockable board, it's like buying i5 7600k on a h/b board

It's fine, if you don't want OC it changes very little.

still having an option to boost few extra performance/fps for few dollars more worth it imo

You might need a B350 or a X370 chipset if you want to overclock

But it has no 5.1 audio channel support, and I don't know how many USB ports including the front panel IO connectors.

you don't need 5.1 most likely

and the front panel is depends on the case not the mobo

the mobo has enough sockets for front panel connectors?
