The mobo and RAM you had chosen are overkill.
Any Z270 mobo will OC well.
Unless you love RGB, get cheaper RAM.

Ryzen 1700 (non x but Overclocked to match the 1800x) and an AsRock x370 gaming is my choice... and flip a coin for the ram they both work fine...

Does the R1700(non x) is the 6 core if im right?

 

can it handle games and content creating? with ease? 

 

like the AMD FX that i've got?

no the 1600 is the 6 core an easy way to remember is it has a 6 in it's name

 

the 1700 is an 8 core 16 thread beast and will tear through any task you give it.

i use the front usb for data transfers and for attaching the print if i needed to.

Currently Ryzen in my country is pretty expensive. it cost like a 1070 or 1080 i think that is why im considering to go intel.
