Hi,

my old cpu went down so i need a new one i thought of the Ryzen 5 1600x ( not too expensive), have a gtx 1060, 1 drive and 2 sata hdds, 1 soundcard.
So i am in search of a motherboard which is cheap, but does it work well.
From the AMD Page it looks like a B350 would be a good choice for me, but there are a lot out there any suggestions? for RAM i would check the qvl of the MB.
As for a Cooler there are some posts already, last was this: Cryorig h7, that stil up to date? but kind of expensive in my eyes

Thanks and regards,
hans
 
Solution
You can always go for a 1600 which comes with a bundled cooler which is not half bad. As far as mobos go I have heard great things about the MSI b350 tomahawk. I personally prefer Asus boards but thats a matter of preference.

tower works with ATX/mATX.
on my fav sites the cpu comes without cooler.
so i guess i go with this:
1600x
MSI B350 tomahawk
Crucial Ballistix 2633 2*8 (BLT8G4D26AFTA.16FAD)
Cryorig H7 + AM4 Upgrade kit( thats not to expensive i first got confused with the lumi edition)

That should work or?
 


Msi b350 tomahawk/mortar boards are good.
