right here bro you will find this to be a great upgrade no skips or pauses in your game play like the i5 if you want to go cheap you can get a 1600 and a b350 mobo this is my exact cpu and mobo i came from and 4 core 8 thread intel chip and this was a hell of an upgrade very with the 12 threads its very future proof at a completely reasonable price dont let intel fool you

I’d recommend this instead of the ones you showed.

I'm really unsure about my Mobo choice because I can't really differentiate the models so I would like to know which one is better between the:

• GIGABYTE B450M DS3H Micro ATX
  
• MSI B450M PRO-VDH Plus Micro ATX
  
• MSI B450M Bazooka V2 Micro ATX
  
• ASUS B450 AMD Ryzen 2 Micro ATX

I believe there is only one x570 micro atx, made by ASRock for ~190. It looks like the MSI b450 Bazooka is an $80 micro ATX with bios flashback, and it has decent reviews.

there are several good motherboards out there right now... my only advice is get a B450 chipset for upgradability and overclocking reasons

I would personally go with the MSI b450M Bazooka for $79.28 if I were building myself


You CAN get a full-ATX case for your MATX motherboard, but it may look a little funny... but functionally, no compatibility issues will arise

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07NH5DBNZ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 this one

This build features RGB, an 8-Core CPU, and a small mATX form factor for just under $700.

CPU: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B06X3W9NGG/ref=ox_sc_act_image_4?smid=A23NVCSO4PYH3S&psc=1

This processor is still very good for multi-core performance, as well as 1080p and 1440p Gaming. This processor beats the 8400 and the 2600 overall.

GPU: https://www.newegg.com/sapphire-radeon-rx-590-100415p8gl/p/N82E16814202333?item=N82E16814202333

One of the best values out there, the RX 590 has great 1080p performance in AAA titles as well as the ability to run many games at 1440p very comfortably. The Pulse model has decent thermals and even has a $10 promotion currently on Newegg.

RAM: https://www.newegg.com/team-16gb-288-pin-ddr4-sdram/p/N82E16820331039

This price is superb for RGB RAM. This is clocked at 3000MHz, which is great because Ryzen loves fast RAM.

SSD: https://www.newegg.com/hp-ex920-512gb/p/N82E16820326779?item=N82E16820326779

The EX920 is also a great value contender. It’s only of the fastest sub-$70 SSDs out there. 512GB should be plenty for gaming. Plus, this SSD uses the TLC NAND, which is better than the 660p’s QLC NAND.

MOBO: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07NH5DBNZ/ref=ox_sc_act_image_3?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1

The B450M Bazooka V2 is fully compatible with the 1700x out of the box. This also leaves room to upgrade to a Zen 2 CPU.

PSU: https://www.newegg.com/evga-600-bq-110-bq-0600-k1-600w/p/N82E16817438100?item=N82E16817438100

The 600 BQ is a standard 600w power supply. It is enough for the system and is also semi-modular.

Case: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B079P1VBDY/ref=ox_sc_act_image_3?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1

This case features a front panel with RGB as well as decent airflow for a budget case. Also has great reviews on Amazon.

Fans: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07DHM6SW9/ref=ox_sc_act_image_2?smid=AFRUWVWO3UJ63&psc=1

Your case will use all of these fans. I chose some budget RGB fans will decent airflow to match up with the RGB fans, RAM, and case.

CPU Cooler: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B007JEMXYQ/ref=ox_sc_act_image_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1

This CPU Cooler might not be necessary, but I’m not sure if the CPU comes with the stock Cooler. If it doesn’t, this Cooler should be enough to provide decent thermals for the 1700x.

You can refer to this list in regards to motherboard cooling (of the VRM components). The 2700x boosts by default to a point that OC is not necessary, and OC can be detrimental to performance on the X tier CPUs. However, it can increase performance when done correctly. If that's your goal, then the Tomahawk is a good option. Either way, depending on the case, airflow, and dust cleaning schedule, it will help with the extra heat.

B450m Tomahawk: https://www.amazon.com/MSI-Crossfire-Motherboard-B450-Tomahawk/dp/B07F7W5KJS/

B450m Bazooka: https://www.amazon.com/MSI-Micro-ATX-Motherboard-B450M-V2/dp/B07NH5DBNZ/

So this one?

Or this?

Actually looking at amazon warehouse. He mentioned MSI used to have a better series than the gaming series in matx but they seem to have stopped carrying them.

I think found them on amazon though. You could get that one used. HE seems to talk highly of them. 4 memory slots too.

Could be this one too.

109 on amazon. It's only $10 difference.

this is the correct mobo right?
