looks good, but I would look at getting higher speed ram. You'll want it when overclocking the 1700. Look for a kit in the same price range that is 3000mhz or more. And if you can verify they are Samsung B-Die you'll be even better off

Cool, Thanks . I don't really have any plans to OC, but thanks for the heads up.

If you're not going to overclock you wouldn't really need an x370 board. You could save some money and get a b350 board instead. And you can still oc on a b350 later if you change your mind

If you are in the US, near a Staples, you can get a Ryzen 1700X for $209 (110% Microcenter price match).

in general, you don't need a X370 board if you don't plan to SLI. That's really the only reason to go X370, unless the VRMs are better on a particular X370 board compared to a B350. VRMs could go either way, but the X370 Pro is a good board.

 

only thing i don't like about it: Not enough on board fan headers.

Yes, thats right.

You'll OC later, so it'll explode later and won't damage you too soon
