Personally I'd invest the cash in the better board. If you plan to keep this for a while and will upgrade the CPU.
For the sake of £8 I'd go with the crosshair, you wont miss that extra 200mhz the 1800x can give you (assuming you overclock the 1700 to at least 3.8) but you may use the extra features this board has down the line.

Thanks. I do believe you're right. I don't usually skimp on the motherboard, so it's probably best not to start now.
 
Edit Thats ^^^^^ all good too. :)

Thanks for the advice :)

With this bundle, there's the best of both; 1800x and x370, for a similar price as a CH6 and 1700.

My basket at Overclockers UK:

Total: £727.47
(includes shipping: £10.50)

I'm thinking the first one, actually, the ROG Board is of course a really good board, but the Prime is also a good board, a properly good board, the ROG board is perhaps so good its overkill for day to day use.
The Asus Prime is in its self more than good enough, best of both worlds, yeah i think the 1800X with the Asus Prime board.

So run it in 4K and watch what it does to the CPU.

I'm aware of what it does.
 
Thought I'd leave this here

There has been a certain someone saying that ryzen is no good in single threaded games and loses out to intel by a large margin.
Well it seems the intel high core CPU's are no better.

and yet you can find plenty of videos of the 1800x barely managing 40fps in fallout 4 (diamond city is the worst for cpus)

and those benchmarks are clearly gpu limited :)

Our Fallout 4 benchmark is a 30-second FRAPS recording of a manual playthrough, where our character runs forward through a woodland area just outside the Corvega Automation Plant. The scene is very challenging relative to the rest of the game, with massive draw distances and complex volumetric lighting. This means the results below are not representative of typical gameplay, but rather of the most challenging points in the game. We test at the game's 'Ultra' preset, the highest available, and v-sync is disabled in the game's .ini file.

Hmm so believe some channel called ARTIS that provide only an MSI overlay or believe bit-tech.....

I thought people said not to trust these 30 second reviews as they aren't representative of actual performance and gameplay?

so, now the 30 second review favours amd they are what to go off of?
 
Seriously guys ryzen is a multithreaded beast at a performance/price that's just too good at the moment I'll be on it when they make some decent itx boards.
This shonky 4-core needs to be replaced by my 4770k itx setup, and i need the R5/R7 for my new main pc.
