Hi :) 

Which CPU is better? The 1600x or 2600?

 

1600x : 165 € 

2600: 163 €

 

And should i get a B450 or 350 Mobo? (if the 1600x is better) I dont want to update the bios, but the updates allow better OC of the ram. I think, that the B450 has better memory support. Is it true?

 

Thx 4 the help!

I think read somewhere that the B350 motherboards need a BIOS update for 2nd gen Ryzen. I may be wrong, but I believe that is what others would say also.

I would get the MSI B450 M pro VDH, if the 2600 is better than the 1600x
