I was considering the same mobo previously but at the end bought ASUS ROG Strix X370-F Gaming

Didn't even bother. I'll see how much improvement with less background crap and PBO on.

Today's price

AMD Ryzen 7 2700X - 1399
Core i7-8700K - 1699 (no cooler)
Core i7-9700K - 1799 (no cooler)
Core i9-9900K - 2399 (no cooler)

You tell me.

9900K definitely will enable me to get another Ryzen 5 2600 + Asrock B450 Pro4 + 8-16GB RAM. Work farm anyone?

Guys, should I wait for the release of Ryzen 3rd gen or just get a 2600 now instead ?

Get now, upgrade later.

have to choose either 1, not enough budget to change twice, been stuck with my i5 4690 for at least 4 years now.

Then i suggest wait for official 3rd gen spec and price.

Yeah, ws thinking the same. When are they announcing the pricing ? I am guessing Ryzen 7 3600 gonna be price around MYR600-800

Don't even know the model yet, if 3600 then it's likely going to be Ryzen 5.

AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1900X got a price cut, just $300 on Newegg.

You guys saw this, right? Buy buy buy!

Can anyone advise where to get good compatible rams for Ryzen 7 1700 ?

16 x 2 , 32gb kits ?

I'm also looking for 2x16GB Samsung B-die RAM

hyperx predator is cheapest 3200 on lazada.

my experience with..
16gb density kits bdie only good for ram speed. not much on timings. also they are very difficult to test and require long hours and multiple runs to confirm stability. too many false stable. also the vdimm scaling is terrible.

I guess just get the 32GB 3200 CL16 from Dotatech then...

I believe CL15 kit have better compatibility.
My CL16 kit only can run 2933MHz ( pumped to 1.375V still same ) although rated 3200MHz, but I use 2660MHz for better stability. On 1st gen Ryzen 7 1700 with quite new BIOS.

Alleged pictures of an unnamed upcoming AMD Graphics Card PCB has leaked. Might as well be Navi or a Navi test unit because what else is there, except for workstation. According to the leaked image, the GPU is using 256 bit memory bus, GDDR6 memory, 2x8 pin connectors which means 250-300W TDP..which kinda makes it a mid high to high end model. But also with a blower (?!?) cooler input. Could be because of it's an engineering sample but if AMD releases reference Navi with blower cooler again like Vega, well, shit. It is pretty much sure though that Navi will be based on AMD's GCN architecture.

weird my x370 pro carbon can do 3200mhz using xmp profile no issues, upgrade your bios, trident z xkan kenot 3200mhz

you guys think is it worth the wait for ryzen 3rd gen than buying ryzen 2nd gen right now?

Definitely wait. Even if it is disappointing, you can then buy 2nd gen at lower price
