New Build with Ryzen 1600x

[Jonny Chee]

Hey all, I posted recently after advice on a 4k / VR build. Since then I've been lucky enough to inherit a second hand Ryzen 1600x so would like some advice on a build centering around that. It doesn't need to be for 4k, I'm happy to go with 1440p. It definitely needs to be good for VR though.

I'd like to keep the budget around £1500 max. Not having to include the CPU should help there!

Thanks again.

Thanks for this, looks great.

no worries, want to save more cash then drop down to Gaming 3 B350 , Above offers better VRM and count if you plan to drop Zen2 + in the near future etc

Nvidia+ g-sync but out of stock

Works at a faster Hz speed and tighter times , Ryzen effect more with ram speed then intel , timings help as well .
If you don't mind 2-5 FPS decrease then save some cash

Ok thanks for that.

It turns out now that I may not be getting my hands on the 1600x. What CPU would be recommended for the above set ups?

Ryzen 1600 on sale or 2600 and get a Boot kit from amd or send board to Gigabyte to be flashed
