1600 vs 1600x

I'm looking to buy one of the energy combos I'll list my choices below but I'm looking between the 1600 and 1600x I already have a cryorig h7

If you're happy to spend like 5 minutes OCing, there's really no reason at all to spend up on the 1600x. Just get the 1600. Then you'll get a cooler too in case you ever want to sell the system on in future and keep your h7 for your next build.

Honestly I wouldn't get either of those bundles, unless you need to have the ability or need to SLI. An R5 1600, B350 motherboard and 16gb 3200mhz ram will be fine for cheaper. As for the 1600 vs 1600x, the 1600x is slightly better binned and comes with a higher factory OC, but if you are manually overclocking, there will be almost no difference.

I wanted a white and black motherboard to go with my pc that's y I picked the combo there's not to many in the color scheme for ryzen I actually just made a 1600 pairing on Amazon that's exactly what I want and only a couple dollars off with higher clocked ram for about 1600

About 500 not 1600 lol

If you're set on a B&W mobo you can go that way, of course. Just realise you're paying more than you need to. These parts would save you like $80

Buy the system you want to build, cheaper isn't always better.
