Is this ryzen build any good?

[Gerard_14]

Hello,
Tomorrow I want to order my new components for a ryzen build.
I was wondering if this looks any good and if there are things I should know or consider.

I got a good offer from a friend who's selling his unused Gigabyte AB350 Gaming (not the gaming 3) motherboard for 70 euros (around 100 euros new). However before I talked to him i was thinking about the Gigabyte AB350m Gaming 3 (mATX), which is 89 euros. Right now i'm thinking of buying it from my friend, but i'm curious about another's opinion.

There was some doubt considering the ram, because I don't know if the motherboard will support 3000mhz and I can't seem to find this particular 8gb module on the support list.

Here are the specs:
Mobo: Gigabyte AB350 Gaming OR Gigabyte AB350m Gaming 3
CPU: Ryzen 5 1600 + wraith spire cooler
Ram: Corsair Vengeance LPX 8gb (2x4) 3000mhz CMK8GX4M2B3000C15
GPU: Sapphire nitro+ rx470 8g
PSU: Corsair hx750
HDD: WD blue 1tb
Case: Coolermaster Cosmos 1000

It is OK. Don't know if you will find that graphics card at a reasonable price, crypto mining has taken all the stock.

Thanks for your reply. The graphics card, psu and hdd are from my old system, which i'm re-using. I got this rx470 for 190 euros 6 months ago, pretty good deal considering it was 240 new

Any ideas on the motherboard though? Should I just go with the atx board?

 

[kanewolf]

Don't know. You didn't specify a case. What do you believe the probability of needing extra slots? Is there any specific feature that one has the other doesn't? Do you want that feature or do you not want to PAY for that feature? Those are the kinds of questions I ask when picking a motherboard.

Its a Coolermaster Cosmos 1000 case (it's huge, 4 fans total). The boards are fairly similair I guess, but maybe there is a difference in overclocking or drivers/bios that I am not aware of.

Also I haven't found any information about the compatibility of the ram modules. I know ryzen is pretty new and they're working on optimalization but I'm buying 3000mhz ram so i want them to run at that speed😛

I haven't bought a Ryzen setup yet, so I don't have any specific suggestion. I usually look at features rather than overclocking. Since they are both Gigabyte, they probably very similar BIOS.
