Reddit mentions of MSI Gaming AMD Ryzen B350 DDR4 VR Ready HDMI USB 3 CFX micro-ATX Motherboard (B350M GAMING PRO)

lol @ XBone. Sounds like the name of a villain in a 90s action movie.

Here's the deal. You can go the console route, and that's fine. But you're going to spend a lot more money in the long run.

You buy a PS4, an xbox one, a switch, whatever. Call it $400. OK. Cool. You buy games for it. $40, $30, $50. Sweet. Controllers. $50 $50 $50... Shit it's getting expensive. New games come out. Why the fuck are they $60 a piece? Holy shit. You wait a while. Jesus they only went down to $55? FFFFFFUUUUUU I wanna playyyyyyy.... Why aren't there more games and cheaper games? Granted, you do have the nice option to buy classic games on PSN and for Switch. Ugh.....fine, I'll shell out for Overwatch. Fine. I'll shell out for Destiny 2. Fuuuuck that was like $120. What....what the fuck is this? PS5? Nintendo Switch2?

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?

BUT. Let me play out that scenario for you on a PC.

Total cost: $570 US, or roughly what you'd spend on your console and a few controllers.

BUT, now you have the entire library of all the computer games ever made at your disposal. Not to mention that, but you've got emulators to play all those classics that you could have bought on the PSN/Switch.

And instead of paying $60 every time a new game comes out, you look at what came out about 6 months ago. You put it on your steam wishlist. You get an email someday soon that says "an item on your wishlist is on sale."

Oh holy shit. Doom is $16. Holy fuck, it's the steam summer sale. Games are 75% off, 80% off....they're basically giving them away.

Then you sign up for Humble Bundle.

Holy shit. You can get Alien Isolation for $5.

These are 5 star games we're talking here. Not to mention you get like 10 no names to go with it. Hell, you're probably going to spend hours playing some of those.

Pretty soon you've got 100+ games that you may have spent a few hundred dollars on. Things are great, but you decide hey, I would LIKE to have a little more FPS on these. So you order yourself a new GT 1080, and sell your 1050 on ebay making back about $50. Later on down the line you decide to upgrade the processory, maybe add a stick of ram later. Now you got a stew goin. But you don't have to, that rig will play almost anything (though possibly on lower visual settings)

PC is just more budget friendly in my opinion. You never have to just throw the whole thing away and get a new one. You can always replace components and upgrade things individually. There's never new platforms to learn, get used to. You can always use your same old controller, and you can always play your old games. In my view, buying consoles is basically throwing away money because you have to buy so much hardware EVERY TIME they decide to release a new console.

There's give and take to it. I just like the stability and deep discounts I get from Steam, GOG, and Humble Bundle. I wouldn't even game if it wasn't this cheap.

I'd recommend the MSI B350M Gaming Pro as it has all the features you need. You can use a dual slot GPU and both x1 slots at the same time. I've owned a few MSI motherboards in the past and they've all done very well for me.

MSI B350M Gaming Pro, it's in the ad.

I would say it depends on what your budget is.

If you want to jump platforms, you might be looking at replacing the RAM in addition to getting a new CPU and motherboard. Ryzen favors faster RAM, so your 2400MHz RAM won't be giving your as much performance as you might otherwise get with faster RAM.

The motherboard you have linked there only has an A320 chipset, so you won't be able to overclock a Ryzen chip to maximize your performance. If you're set on that particular look, I would look at this one instead. That said, I would also look at other alternatives, since both of those boards only have 2 RAM slots, so if you ever want to upgrade beyond 8GB, you're going to have to replace the RAM, and if you're going to get into video editing, you'll likely want to upgrade to 16GB (or more) eventually (though I guess it's an "issue" you have with your current board as well). In any case, if going with Ryzen, I would look for a board with a B350 chipset.

The simplest upgrade solution would be for you to just stick with the system you have and upgrade the processor to either a Skylake or Kaby Lake i5 or i7, depending on your budget. It would just be a matter of swapping the CPU and possibly getting a better heatsink for it, depending on the model. If it helps, you should probably be able to sell your old G4560 for as much as you paid, offsetting some of the cost of upgrading. With the upcoming announcement of Intel's new Coffee Lake processors, you might see some slightly cheaper used i7s come up in the used market (if you're willing to buy used), potentially for relatively cheap. While you won't be able to overclock any of the unlocked Intel chips with your current board, they should still perform fairly well stock.

In either case, I would recommend waiting until next week to see what Intel is going to announce and go from there.

This is what I came up with.
took me 40 minutes

You forgot to include a case unless you already have one.

I personally prefer regular ATX sized motherboards if my budget allows and for $5 more it seems better as well

MSI B350M Pro

Also, Ryzen is HEAVILLY in favor of higher speed RAM. Go for 3000MHz if you can.

I also recommend an SSD but if you want to prioritize space first then go for it :)

this and this

So while I've got ya here, here's what I'm looking at getting.

MOBO = https://www.amazon.com/MSI-Motherboard-B350M-GAMING-PRO/dp/B06X3Y7KB5/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1506017338&sr=1-2&keywords=Micro+ATX+AM4

CPU = https://www.amazon.com/AMD-Processor-Wraith-Cooler-YD1600BBAEBOX/dp/B06XNRQHG4/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1506022022&sr=1-3&keywords=Ryzen+5+1600

RAM = https://www.amazon.com/PNY-Anarchy-2133MHz-PC4-17000-Desktop/dp/B012ASF47I/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1506022064&sr=1-1&keywords=pny+ddr4

This leaves me room to upgrade further up the AM4 line in coming years and I can also jump from 16gb to 32gb when I can afford it. I think this is a pretty good upgrade all around and should have me smoking shit with my 1060 6gb.

Oh cool, interesting. Is this it?

You could get a ryzen ( Ryzen 3 and 5 are both great picks) unless there is a specific reason you're getting the i3

Here is a ryzen 3 1300x and a mAtx motherboard

It's overclockable and also come with a better cooler than intel (Although probably not good enough for overclocking but atleast you've got that option)
It's also a better upgrade path than the intel 1151 , AMD has said that they're using the AM4 platform until atleast 2020 meanwhile intel is coming with a new platform pretty soon

No probs, can't find much in terms of professional reviews but the Amazon feedback is very good and ASRock are a very good brand for motherboards - https://www.amazon.com/MSI-B350M-GAMING-PRO-Motherboard/dp/B06X3Y7KB5/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1493650085&sr=8-1&keywords=ASRock+AB350M-HDV

It's a fairly basic model which is why there might not be too much in depth looks at it especially with Ryzen being quite new still, but from what I can see it appears to do what it says on the tin and should work well for what you're putting in it. Though the other is only $10 extra if you'd prefer to go that route (MSI are also a great brand) - puts you above $900 but only by the cost of a trip to McDonalds lol.

I don't know anything about motherboards. There's 60 usd motherboards and 600 usd motherboards lol. My budget is 300 usd for cpu and motherboard. Like this, but it's micro ATX idk it's good or not https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06X3Y7KB5/

I use a CM Hyper 212 EVO to cool my X4 965, on an ASUS M5A78L-M Board. The architecture is AM3+. Can I use the same cooler on a Ryzen 5 1600X and AM4 board (Link) or do I have to buy a new cooler?

Will this Mobo and RAM work fine for a Ryzen CPU ? It will probably be for a R3 or R5, depending on how good the R3 lineup will be.

isn't it the same price on amazon?

i see that the MSI b350 gaming pro has CMK16GX4M2B3200C16 on their support list from corsair vengence, would be smarter to just change over to that board?

PS. when i went with the corsair ram for the x370 its cause i watched pauls hardware and in his video he had that setup thanks again for showing me the qvl list

This MSI one for 6 dollars more? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06X3Y7KB5/?tag=pcpapi-20

I found this mobo since you recommended an AM4 socket MSI B350 , thoughts?

I built a computer for a friend of my 2 nights ago with this board and the bios is easy to use and I have no heard of any issues with it. But it all depends maybe you want some features that this baord doesn't have so I would do some research.

I have an MSI b350m motherboard that my brother gave me because it doesn't work. We've tried different ram sticks and even processors. He gave up and bought a b450 and uses it now and gave the old one to me. The only indicators we got was the ram light and cpu light. Everything we tried with it worked fine in the b450. We are out of warranty for it because we thought it was the processor (2nd gen) but my brother bought a 1st Gen ryzen 7 on sale and tried it in that...4 months later. It's an MSI b350m gaming pro.
