My current PC setup is pretty old. I have 10 years old PC with Intel Core2Duo E6850 and 8GB of DDR2 Ram which is not sufficient for me right now. I am studying Computer Science on 3rd year, and i'm looking for powerful machine, since my projects are getting bigger and power demanding.
I use it only for programming stuff (also multicore) and web surfing with a lot of tabs. Virtual Machines, few JetBrains IDE and local web server running in background should not be hard tasks for my next setup. I don't plan to game hard and often on this machine, but only occasionally (CallOfDuty 4 MW is enough for relax brain for me ).
There are some parts i would like to leave from previous setup :
GPU : Gigabyte Radeon RX550
Power supply : SilentiumPC Vero M2 600W
SSD : Samsung 850 Evo 250GB
Case : Modecom C707 (Midi Tower) (OLD but still good )
I plan to buy new motherboard, ram, and cpu with cooler. I made some research and i suppose this setup could be good for my needs :
CPU - (270$) : AMD Ryzen 7 1700x
Cooler (40$) : SilentiumPC Fera 3
RAM (160$) : 2x8GB G.Skill Aegis 3000MHz
MoBo (120$) : ASRock X370 Pro4 (???)
I will buy it in my local PC store morele.net in Poland.
I only wonder if this motherboard is enough good for this CPU. Previously, I was thinking about MSI B350 Tomahawk which is often recommended, but I read that x370 chipset should be better for 1700x cpu, especially if I will plan to overclock it in the future. Moreover I read some good reviews of this ASRock X370 Pro4.
So the question is should I buy any other, maybe better motherboard, for this setup? F.e. MSI X370 Gaming Plus / PRO, Asus Prime X370-A or Gigabyte GA-AX370-Gaming K5 ... or cheaper like Gigabyte AX370 Gaming 3?
