Good Ryzen Combo?

[Guest]

I'm trying to make a Ryzen combo for 300. I have one in my cart for Microcenter but I dont know how good it is.

R5 1600

ASRock AB350 Pro4 AM4 ATX AMD Motherboard

Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB DDR4-2400

 

Should I try to get faster RAM? Better MOBO? I can stretch the budget higher if needed. Am planning to game and OC. GIve me a list in PCPP please.

I'd get faster RAM as Ryzen is thirsty for fast RAM.

RAM's price to performance seems to escalate quite quickly after 3200MHz, so get 3000 or 3200MHz in a 2x4GB kit unless you want 32GB in the future.

Sorry everyone but for some reason when I try to edit or delete my posts it doesn't display the box in which to edit it and everything is loading insanely slow.

I apologize for this many posts and the PCPP thing not working (and I can't even troubleshoot to see why it didn't work )

Maybe get a motherboard with VRM heatskink for better overclocking capability

See how much a 3000 Mhz RAM costs for Ryzen, if it costs too much you would be fine with a 2400Mhz
