sorry mate if you felt this way, sometimes too much advises make one confused. just go with your original build with x370 board & corsair txm unit psu. dont worry for ram. feel free to get 32 gb if you need it & 2666mhz would be enough. nothing you will miss from performance. this fastest ram matter is getting exaggerated for tiny performance change.     

Though I would argue the difference justifies the cost, depending on your workload, I do agree that if he needs the RAM then the RAM speed isn't going to be as big of a deal as the RAM requirement not being matched.

 

You need that 32GB of RAM? Then don't worry about RAM speed.

The prime b350 a is listed as "only supports 65 watt CPUs" on newegg. A 1700 is a 65 watt CPU; I think you can imagine it wouldn't be good if you oc it..

 

AB350m or AB350m pro4?

Once again, thank you for the replies! I think I might be fretting too much over all this. I can't be certain what the performance gains (if any) would be with clocking up the memory to silly numbers. I really just wanted to get the best rendering performance I could (whilst being sensible with money / form factor).

 

I am probably going to pull the trigger on this little lot (unless you see anything glaringly obvious I've missed). There is some potential to overclock if I actively cool down the VRM.

I say just go for it.

 

Again, you need the RAM, so the extra little jolt you get from the speed isn't worth it when you actually need the additional RAM.

 

I am a big pusher for the 3200 RAM as you can see up to 10+ fps difference in some games with the faster RAM.

 

As someone who upgrades platforms once every 5 years (or longer), the last thing I want is a silly bottleneck down the road.

 

Getting the fastest possible RAM the CPU will support from the get go has always served me well for the decade+ I have been doing this so

 

For you, you need to be able to scale your workloads into your RAM.

 

I am sure that the long term for you is the additional RAM.

 

Sadly, you are locked by the Micro ATX form factor here. Since you do not plan to overclock, I do not see a problem with that board.

 

the 16 threads + the CUDA support on that card will support you well.

My only suggestion is the mobo.

I was going to leave it, but that MATX form factor is a real limiter.

The AB350M Pro4  I might go for it - it's a 50/50 thing atm.

Haha I know - I'll live with the consequences! Thanks

I would get the ASRock.
