First PC Build - Warning, thread will have blunders.

@orbitalwalsh M.2 slots are for SSD, yes? If so, no I'd only need the 1.
And ram would only be the type that you've recommended which is 3200 I think.

Think I'll go with the B350 for now and see how it goes, can always sell on or upgrade if needs be!
Was there a particular B350 which better than the others?

Strix and gaming 3. Most popular and recommended on here, tend to quote gigabyte for UK RMA . But with good boards

Will look to buy the Strix and 1800X tonight. The rest - SSD, ram, PSU, case - can come after payday!!!

Go with the R7 2700 over the 1800X imo. Same price but newer and you get a stock cooler. Just ask ocuk if they can confirm the bios will work out of the box.

Other option is to wait for X470 chipset boards and see pricing on those.
 
Needs to have latest bios 2200/2400g APU , if not you need to get a boot kit from AMD.
They'll be new BIOS as well tomorrow. From leaked reviews they are current most current x370/b350 bios and it's runs but not stable when gaming which is fair enough as it's technically not even launched yet .
Gigabyte can flash bios for boards that have older bios as well since they are just north west of London .

Then again, B350 Strix is £100/ Gaming 3 £85 ? X470 ultra is £125 and I think MSI one is £119...

What do you mean by that? That a R7 2700 would work straight away with the Strix B350?

The R7 2700 might not work out of the box on B350 chipset. I would wait a day or so anyway as X470 should be out tomorrow. Already seen them for sale on other websites. You should be able to get something like a Gigabyte X470 Ultra Gaming for around £140. If you use the stock cooler on the R7 2700 (Or even go with the R7 1700) then there shouldn't be much of a price difference over an 1800X/B350-F Strix.

Right so a 2700 and a MSI X470 may be a better option to wait for. And the bios for that should mean they work out of the box? That should still hopefully be under £400, then the rest of the build should come to another £400 meaning I should be on target which is good!

Fast ram and tighter timings

(Damn , Teamgroup Xtreme ram blends well with Aorus boards )

I would go with the Gigabyte X470 Aorus Ultra above if it was Me. And yes X470 chipset will support all Ryzen cpu's from the off.
 
That ram mentioned at 180 quid is really bothering me, I know their prices are extremely high at the moment, but are there any good, slightly cheaper, (100-130) around at the moment?

dont worry mate, seems though Ryzen 2 can handle faster ram 3200 still sweet spot again because of pricing

My basket at Overclockers UK:

though, to get the most of of the improvements of ryzen 2 , its pushing the core to 4.2ghz all cores and 3400hz ram​
 
The budget keeps going up and up! I'm currently taking over £350 from current month, taking another £350 from next month and maybe £100 ish from savings. And none of you are helping :D;) pushing me for more expensive items - and I'm succumbing to it!!
