Ryzen 5 - PC Upgrade (suggestions needed)

[schveps]

Hi there,



I am planning to do upgrade for my current PC which is :



cpu - amd fx 6300 (Corsair h75i)

gpu - gtx 970 (evga with factory oc)

ram - 2x4gb kingston hyperX fury 2666mhz

mobo - ASRock 970M Pro3

hdd + ssd - 1tb WD 7200rpm, kingston 120gb ssd

psu - 600w corsair CX

matx CAse and dual 1080p monitor setup.



These are exact pieces I want to buy. I would love to hear your opinions on this. (negative or positive)

CPU : Ryzen 5 1600

MOBO : GIGABYTE AB350M-GAMING 3 (here are also 2 other competitors MSI B350 Mortar ARCTIC / ASROCK AB350M Pro4 )

RAM : Kingston 16 GB KIT DDR4 3000 MHz CL15 HyperX Predator Series



And here is one question I wanted to ask :

Is this ram kit going to be compatible with mobo I chose ? Will it be able to run at 3000Mhz (as I am kind of lost in QVL on the mobo page) ?



Also , feel free to add any suggestions you have for be it different parts chosen or anything else. Thanks

That memory should be able to run on that board at the rated speed (2933 not 3000). Just make your you update the BIOS of the board before you engage the XMP profile.
