Hey guys, the following is what I've chose so far for my Ryzen build, could you please have a look and let me know what would be good to add, change etc.? To help choose, basically I'm a heavy multitasker and run 3 monitors.

Processor: AMD Ryzen 7 1800x
Mobo: Asus x370 Prime Pro / Strix version, which better?
PSU: Suggest please.
GPU: Suggest please.
Cooler: Suggest please.
RAM: Suggest please.

PS. (I know 1700x might be better for the price, but they're the same price here right now)
I would appreciate any help, thanks!

I would go with something like this. If you go for the 2700x, just replace it with the 1800x. I would also go for a 400 series motherboard if you go with the 2700x as you wont have to deal with a bios update and there are some features on the 2700x that wont be available on the 300 series motherboard.

Additionally, if you are big into overclocking, you may want an x370/x470 motherboard over the b350/b450. While both support overclocking, the x series will do better at overclocking.

And yes, the 2700x will come with a stock cooler. And it should be a good one too.

CPU: AMD - Ryzen 7...
I suggest you wait till Thursday before you make the purchase. The 2700x is being released on the 19th and it will be priced similar to the 1800x. It should have better clock speeds and performance. I would not go for a 1800x unless it was significantly cheaper than the 2700x.

What will you be using the system for? Are you gaming? If so, at what resolution. This is important to know what GPU you will need. Additionally, what is your budget?

I wouldn't even bother getting a Ryzen X version as all they are is slightly overclocked versions of a base CPU that are more expensive and don't even come with a cooler. The 1700/2700 would be the only Ryzen 7 I'd ever consider getting and waiting a few more days as it may be worth it.

Also if you want us to recommend parts you may want to let us know a budget and if there is any other uses for the system besides multitasking (Gaming/Rendering/ETC).

Thanks so much for your answer, I will wait till Thursday for 2700x, I heard it comes with a cooler, am I right?

I will be mainly multi-tasking, not often gaming, just sometimes... I have 3x Dell u2415 monitors so would need a GPU that can easily run those 3. My budget for GPU is around 450€, wouldn't go further.

Thanks!
