RYZEN 5 1600 build

[speedforcef1]

Does the CPU and RAM go together? Do all the components work well together?

Will be used for; Csgo, LoL, pubg, etc. and work

We don't know what your full system's specs are. Can you pass them on as a followup or a link to a PCPartPicker build?

Is the corsair (2x4gb) RAM you recommended better than the g skill (1x8gb)?
Also will the motherboard you recommenced make a significant difference since I am on a budget but I might be able to push it?

What do you think about this motherboard? https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/fPDzK8/asus-prime-b350-plus-atx-am4-motherboard-prime-b350-plus

Thanks!

Running dual channel on a dual channel board is more optimal. It also gives you the redundancy factor to boot the pc if one stick fails. If you can push your budget, then you should go for GSkill dual channel kit... https://www.toptengamer.com/best-ram-amd-ryzen-5-7-cpu/

The board is better in terms of features and overclocking. You can also consider the MSI Gaming Pro Carbon as it has even more CPU power phases for OC and comes at same price... https://us.hardware.info/comparisontable/products/396951-400375-386368

Would this motherboard be good? https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/fPDzK8/asus-prime-b350-plus-atx-am4-motherboard-prime-b350-plus

I don't think I plan on overclocking

 

[Hellfire13]

Couple of years down the line when that chip is at its sunset days, you will feel the need to push it more for better performance. Having that option down the line never hurts. But in case you are not OCing, then most of those b350 boards are fine, including the one you mentioned.

Doesn't hurt to have the option, thanks.

The MSI board looks a bit better to me, but i would recommend this... https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/Y4kwrH/msi-b350-tomahawk-atx-am4-motherboard-b350-tomahawk

A few quids more but worth it, specially with the XMP profile... https://uk.hardware.info/comparisontable/products/386387-396514-386379

This is my updated build.

What do you think? Any changes before I start buying components?

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/BYH48d/corsair-memory-cmk8gx4m2b3000c15 OR https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/GQqbt6/corsair-memory-cmk8gx4m2b3200c16

Thanks for the help!

 

[Hellfire13]

Looks fine. You can go for it.

 

[speedforcef1]

Sorry, couple more questions
https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/BYH48d/corsair-memo... OR https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/GQqbt6/corsair-memo...

And, will I need a CPU cooler?

Thanks!

 

[Hellfire13]

You can go for either kit. The board does not have XMP so you have to clock it manually anyways and you will hardly find any difference between the two in real time.

The stock cooler is pretty good even if you are overclocking, so you wont need one.

This is my first time building a PC. What do you mean by clock it manually?

 

[Hellfire13]

If you want to run it at rated 3200mhz speed, you might have to tweak the BIOS. This could be helpful...

If I get the 3200, does the motherboard automatically know its 3200 or do you have to configure it?
Is that what you mean when you say clock it manually?

The msi boards have a ' memory try it' option in bios , it works fairly well at getting optimal speeds on ram.

That said I think the asrock boards are better personally.

The best part about ASRock boards is that they have lots of overclocking potential with lots of power phases and VRMs, but OP is pretty much against OC, which is not the best way to go for an AMD build. They have kept their Ryzen lineup unlocked to exploit its full potential.

I'm not against overclocking. I'm new to building PCs/overclocking, which I guess I can learn over time.
Yo guys think I should get the https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/CczZxr/asrock-fatal1ty-ab350-gaming-k4-atx-quad-cpu-am4-motherboard-fatal1ty-ab350-gaming-k4
motherboard ?

 

[Hellfire13]

Yes, its also a good board.

Does the case fit everything and is the PSU too much or just fine?

 

[Hellfire13]

Everything is fine. You can go for it.
