Can't decide between these two motherboards for a Ryzen 1500x

[Draconid]

Hello,

I'm currently in the process of upgrading my current computer's CPU up to a Ryzen 1500x, and I've found two motherboards: other than USB 3.0's (which I don't really care about) I'm not seeing much of a difference other than price.

MOBO 2: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/yBtWGX/asrock-ab350-pro4-atx-am4-motherboard-ab350-pro4

 

My current PC's Specifications:

Motherboard: - ASUS A55BM-E

one is ATX and one is MATX (bigger and smaller)

 

go for the first one

[Droidbot]

go for the cheapest one

 

and go for 1600 instead of 1500x, more cores for not much more $$

what case you getting??? as if it's a micro ATX you'd need to get 1 and if it's ATX you could get both but 1 would be a bit small in it. That being said 1 can support higher frequencies, which is better for overclocking. (I suggest changing the ram to a 2933 or a 3200Hz RAM as 1 supports only those two not 3000HZ which might cause issues) and 2 only supports up to 2666Hz which means your higher frequency of your RAM might be wasted

Okay Thanks

Go 1400 or 1600, 1500x isn't great value compared to them

Could you help me in finding a decent RAM that's not too expensive as I'm trying to stick within £325 and here's my case http://www.coolermaster.com/case/mid-tower/elite-311/

With such a budget, get the cheapest you can get.

The RAM in the part list was one of the cheapest DDR4-3000 memory I could find xD.
