Yes, Ryzen 7 1700 would last even more if you can afford it.
AMD Ryzen 5 1600 is better bang for the buck. Current Intel prices are not worth it.

Thanks

For ram I suggest you check with the QVL before purchase.

You can tone down the PSU for like 650W ones.

Yes it's a good buy for a ryzen 5 smile.gif

Sorry what is QVL? Can 650w support OC?

650W is enough for all your OC needs.

Support RAM on this mobo : http://download.gigabyte.asia/FileList/Mem...350-gaming3.pdf  << thats QVL for RAM since Ryzen is very sensitive towards RAM requirement. So just check first before complaining the SPD ram is not following the spec sheet smile.gif

My Gigabyte RAM compatibility issue still there after recent update. Gotta try according to their QVL.
Looks great. No RAM compatibility issue right?

Check the website it is compatible. In what way do you mean it is not compatible? Out of curiosity where can I check ?
