I would swap out the network adapter if you don't already have it.

Otherwise, pretty solid aside from the RAM. Ryzen benefits heavily from fast RAM.

Agree with this.

Get a network adapter that plugs into the PCIe slots on the motherboard, they're usually more reliable and get a longer range.

 

Do you have an SSD/HDD?

 

And this is just personal preference, but I'd go with an ASUS motherboard.

I have a 256 GB SSD and 1.5 TB HDD, which ASUS motherboard would you recommend?

Asus STRIX B350-F GAMING

 

Not too far from the price you had, it's at most $20 more.

Whats better with this one than the previous one, why do you prefer ASUS motherboards?

A 550W psu is more than sufficient. I would suggest spending a little more on the psu to get a better quality unit. EVGA SuperNOVA 550 and SeaSonic FOCUS Plus 550 Gold are excellent choices.

Well you get another full PCIe slot at the bottom of the board, so something like a soundcard (if needed) or a network adapter, or RAID card could go there.

You have ROG SupremeFX 8-Channel High Definition Audio CODEC S1220A

It looks cooler (the vrm heatsink is larger on the ASUS board)

2 x USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-A
4 x USB 3.1 Gen 1 

vs 5x 3.1 on ASROCK board

 

Asus over the years has gained a reputation of being one of the best for motherboard manufacturing, so I tend to stick with them when it comes to motherboards. I've seldom had to replace an Asus motherboard and its strictly the only boards we carry at my PC shop.

Okay well i think I will go with that, where is your shop ?
