If i was to go for the 1600 i could afford a better X370 motherboard, the 1700 would probably need to go B350.

 

Just wondering what you guys would choose.

A bit of everything really, but mostly gaming and also want the most future proofed option. Possible upgrade to newer ryzen at a later date.

1600 if you're just gaming, 1700 if you're doing streaming, rendering or editing.

The 1700 with b350 is not a good idea so I would go with 1600+x370

Amazing imo. For my use case I feel is perfect, It allows me to do even things that I don't Need to (like why not streaming if you don't lose any FPS). Even in xPlane 11 (CPU intensive simulator) is balanced with the GPU I own. Mine overclocked decent, even RAM.

The question is do you need the extra core? And It depends only on your workload
