Ryzen Build Questions / First Build Question

[theorangeangle]

Hello,

 

I just wanted to check my bases on a couple things regarding my first build that I am putting together, and ask for recommendations regarding a couple possible changes.

 

Here is my build:

1) Is everything compatible? I'm still a little worried about the ram speed because of the issues ryzen had with ram speeds.

 

2) Am I fine with the two fans that my case came with, or should I buy more?

 

2) What kind of tools do I need? I have a screwdriver set with lots of different bit sizes, but do I need anything fancy (i.e. electrostatic wrist band or that ifixit kit that was featured in scrapyard wars)

 

3) I'm currently split between these two motherboards, is there any reason to pick one over another (aside from cost)?

 

4) The RX 580 I currently have parted is the MSI 8GB variant, costing ~$250. Are there any other 580s around the same price point that have better cooling?

 

Thanks in advance!

1.looks compatible

2.You will be able to pull it off with what you had but you could do like they say and ground yourself on the power supply

1. everything is compatible. there's a 3200mhz g.skill kit for $110 so i'd recommend that, it should run at 2933 until an update for better ram support comes.

2. you should be fine with just the 2 fans.

3. screwdriver's all you need, just remember to touch something metal before and during construction.

1. Compatible, everything looks good

2. Yes, 1 intake and 1 exhaust is fine

3. A few screwdrivers with different heads (just put your toolbox beside you), I suggest wearing antistatic wrist strap too

4. Gaming X cooling is excellent for that price.
