There are valid reasons for not using ryzen, you just haven't given any.

Don't forget that R5 1600 costs less, doesn't need a cooler and B350 doesn't cost a premium like Z270. Me and @nerdslayer1 can go all day talking about how Ryzen is better

Ok tell me this, which is better for someone whos not a gamer?

ryzen 1600 similer to 5820k/ 6800k or 1700 similer to 5960x/6900k

1) @nerdslayer1 last I knew it was against policy to be making accusations of fanboying. I agree whole heartedly that Ryzen would be the MUCH better value for his money.

2) @RedScorpion If the most intensive thing you are going to be doing with your computer is playing video games, then Intel has a performance lead. Otherwise, Ryzen slaughters everything Intel has at the same pricepoint or lower. An overclocked R7 1700 gives just about the same performance as a 6900k at about a third the price. Again, for gaming, Intel is the way to go. For anything else, Ryzen is the much better buy

Like I said, I dont want to get a 1600 as I already made my decision towards intel. I do appreciate all your guys pushing to get me to use AMD but with me already having parts on the way, im not in the position to afford different

In that case the 1600(X) is the price to performance king for what you do. It doesn't quite get as high framrates, but they are also more stable with tighter frame times. For editing, the extra cores and threads are definately things you can benifit from. The 1600 non-x comes with a decent and quiet cooler that can get you a mild OC.

Don't open them, return anything you don't need. Stop being silly.

RR-AM4B-H212-S1 is a ryzen bracket for it.

212 Evo should do bit better than R5 1600 stock Wraith Spire

It positions the cooler in a odd way though :\

since it's never been opened, it may be easier to sell if you are really that unhappy with the orientation. In addition, how is it odd?

guys the cooler is positioned the wrong way, better buy a worse computer instead.
