Hi! i'm doing a ryzen 5 1600 build and i wanted some help because i don't know if the part i choose were the correct ones, i hope i can get some advices thanks!

CPU: Ryzen 5 1600
MB: MSI - B350M GAMING PRO Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard
RAM: Corsair - Vengeance LED 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3200 Memory
STORAGE: Crucial - MX300 275GB 2.5" Solid State Drive (I'm getting a hdd later, for now 275gb is enough space for my stuff)
GPU: MSI - Radeon RX 570 4GB ARMOR OC Video Card
CASE: Corsair - SPEC-ALPHA (Black) ATX Mid Tower Case
PSU: Corsair - Builder 600W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply
MONITOR: AOC - I2269VW 21.5" 1920x1080 60Hz Monitor

I mostly wanted to know if the psu is good enough, the ram is good or going lower than 3200 will have no change in it's perfomance and if the MB is ok or should i get the MSI B350 TOMAHAWK, i'm gonna use this pc a lot, i will make changes to it like in a year or so min. so i wanna know if everything is ok, btw i'm in Peru so i don't have too many parts choices, thanks.
 
oh the psu is much then enough i myself have a 600w psu with 2 rx 580s and it works fine also many people on Reddit and other places have said that xmp ram and ryzen are not a good match i guess until further driver updates so yes getting a lower clock speed ram would be ideal last but not least also i've seen that the gaming pro has better xmp support so if you want to clock your ram at 3200 go for the gaming pro.
 


that power supply is very low quality .
 


You are correct. I have the 3000Mhz Corsair Vengence LPX kit in my 1700x build and XMP isn't supported yet. The highest I've been able to get it to run at is 2400Mhz
 




and they will replace all your components as well if they are casualties of the low quality psu ?
 

So getting ram at 3200 is a waste of money?
 


No necessarily just make sure the 3200mhz RAM is certified to run on that motherboard. If it is it'll run at it's rated speed and an extra bonus due to the architecture of Ryzen you'll see a nice performance just with the faster memory.
 

it says it does but with OC. i don't know if it's getting change in the future
 
there is a few issues at the moment in regards to getting higher speed ram to run at its rated speed but i would suggest going with the higher speed ram and waiting for the AMD fix which is rumoured to be on it's way.

this is the best budget corsair series psu at the moment . personally i prefer https://pcpartpicker.com/product/fZyFf7/seasonic-power-supply-s12ii520bronze
or
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/TgW9TW/seasonic-power-supply-m12ii520bronze (more expensive but full modular)
 

ok thank you very much, i will go with the 3200mhz ram, and that MB is enough or there is any other better at the same price?
 


do you have a link to the webisite you will be purchasing from ?
 


The store from where i'm gonna buy it doesn't have one but the model is Corsair - Vengeance LED 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3200 Memory and the MB is MSI B350M GAMING PRO
 


personally out of the 2 motherboards i would go for the tomahawk . it has 4 ram slots , 4 system fan headers, supports rgb led strips , higher quality onboard sound , water pump header in the future you may wish to water cool your pc, supports crossfire . and has all the ambient led lighting that the msi gaming pro has ..
 


yeah, the problem is budget, or the difference worths the money?
 


am i'm gonna notice the sound quiality difference? if i will then i can get the tomahawk
 


not really . not for the price difference. for general use it wont be noticeable at all but if you have high quality speakers and sound software then you would.. but plugging in basic speakers or headphones no difference at all.
 

Thank you very much, i think i will just go with the gaming pro, i don't really need the other specs
