Yes use other RAM and faster speed. That cooler is a huge waste of cash as the H7 should get the Ryzen 3 to 3.9~4Ghz. That being about the max why pay more.

I love the setup however im not in the US and shipping from Amazon to Philippines will cost a lot. And Ryzen 3 is still on pre-order here. However for the parts i can only get the things listed in here:

And also i already have GA GTX 1050 G1 Gaming 2Gb and Seasonic 520W and Caviar Blue 1Tb. For the cooler im thinking of the stock however i'm thinking of buying a new one as well since i'll be using it atleast 16 hrs a day.

Sure its fine. The g.skills 3200 may only run at 2933Mhz depending on your motherboard. The flare X is just costly Ryzen tested RAM to work at the speed. If all your looking for is 2400 speed most of the RAM can do that.

The cooler is very poor and doesnt support the AM4. Its an Intel only cooler. You sould really get the H7 or you could get the M9a. You will need to get the AM4 bracket for the M9a.

Here is the free bracket for the cryorig request page.

No it's not the r3 1200 oc is practicly the same vs the r3 1300x oc. The only big difference is at stock but even then 40$ isn't worth it.

Buy the 1300 or the 1300x and use the stock cooler. You do not need to replace the cooler, at least not right away. It will be sufficient for stock and likely for your OC if you choose to do so. Use the savings toward the 1300x. The fastest RAM you can afford, the G. Skill Flare-X at 3200 is the best option but it is more expensive.

Probably i'm going for Ryzen 3 1200 since i'll be using it for productivity and rarely for games. Most of the games i play is COD Black Ops 2, League of Legends and Dragon Nest.

So mostly G.skill is still the best 3000mhz rgb 2x8gb. I wanted that but its quite expensive though. And is it good on productivity?

Someone told me that it would be best an AIO liquid cooler in my case since i'll be using the PC around 16-18 hours a day. Is the stock cooler can handle that kind of stress on the PC?

Yes that's why i'm opting for Team Delta 2x8gb 2400 16gb (TDTWD416G2400HC15ADC01). Its listed on the support RAM page of the board.

Why leaving performance on the table? I'd go with something quicker, Ryzen really likes fast ram, performance wise. Maybe something like Patriot DIMM 16 GB DDR4-3000 Kit, if price is an issue. It is on the list of supported rams for MSI Tomahawk board and you'll experience quite performance boost running it at 2933 Mhz in some apps.

You would be better off getting a R5 1600 for the same price. The stock wraith cooler on the 1600 is more than enough to keep it cool as it can handle a 600Mhz overclock. Just run the 1600 12 thread at stock and it would be miles ahead of the R3 1200 4 thread with an AIO.

Yes i know it will help the performance but i'll need to overclock the memory right? to achieve a 2933mhz speed?
