Posted June 15, 2017 My current system (4770K) is 4 years old last month, I thought It was a about time for an upgrade because of the fact I'm having some motherboard issues that are causing boot issues. Anyway, I decided to go for a Ryzen build because If we're being honest, why would I stick with Intel this time round? But I'm a bit out of the loop when it comes to Ryzen so I thought I'd ask for some help/advice. This is what I've come up with so far: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/xmCM7h Any parts not on this list like hard drives etc, I'll be removing from my current system and adding to the new one. Is there anything I should add/remove/consider? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like the difference is more fan/pump headers, U.2 (IDK what that is, so it's not a plus), dual LAN, and better audio. Don't flagship mobs get BIOS updates faster though?

Take this with a pretty big grain of salt because it's only based on one experience, but I got a Gigabyte motherboard (I think Z97, but might have been H97) once and they stopped pushing updates after less than a year. And it really needed them. That's the last time I got anything from Gigabyte. In contrast, I still get updates for my Z97 MSI motherboard. I got one like a month ago.

On that note, If you're switching motherboards stay away from MSI ryzen boards, even the highest end models have problems with boot times with the latest bios.
