Will build a gaming PC for my wife

I have these parts lying around

• SSD's - m.2
• HDD's

any reviews about the motherboard?

I choose this board since its color neutral (pink/blue) build so no red accented boards

Is the Ryzen RAM compatibility solved?she wants an RGB RAM maybe change the RAMs with G.Skill Trident Z RGB

for the GPU still waiting for the pricing of mid level cards to normalize.

Seems good.

you don't need a 212 Evo. the stock cooler is good enough unless you're going for 4Ghz.

 

Yes, RAM compatibility is fixed, although still not as flawless as intel. you definitely can get your RAM running at 3Ghz pretty easily, although it still may take a few minutes of tinkering beyond just loading the XMP profile.

trident z and corsair vengeance have a pretty good track record on ryzen, but I would throw another $20 at the mobo, personally don't like Asrock, but avoid MSI I've heard horror stories for ryzen E:extra $20 on mobo for quality, haven't heard much good from cheap b350 boards

I can't list the case in pcpartpicker, I only trust ASUS bios and quality (strix b350F), but they don't have mATX which will fit in Corsair Air 240.

Only if I will found another mATX board I'll replace the Asrock, but for now this is best option i have, it has 2 m.2 slots and a RGB header at a very cheap price.

212 evo if I have a spare in the budget, but yes the stock cooler will do fine, no plans of pushing the clock speed at its limit.

I have the ATX version of your micro-atx board.  My Build I updated the bios as soon as I had my OS installed and my ram kit runs just fine with XMP.  I run into a few blue screens when attempting to tighten the timings, or overclock the 3000 kit to 3200, but overall.. I'm satisfied with my Asrock board.

 

One thing I noticed.. the micro-atx version only allows you to control the case fan speeds of one header, CHA_FAN1.  CHA_FAN2 runs 100%.  For this reason, I chose the ATX version, which gives me one additional fan header, CHA_FAN3, since I like to control my six case fans with SpeedFan according to the temperature of my GPU.  Source
