So..

I've decided that for all-round gaming, video editing and lightroom stuff on a budget, the Ryzen 5 6-cores are the way to go.

I've around £700 and come up with these:

Ryzen 5 1600 - £219
Asus Prime B350 - £99
Kingston Fury Black 2x8gb 2666mhz £140
XFX Radeon RX480 8gb - £210

Total £668

That leaves a little left for a new keyboard and WiFi adapter.

Is this about the best setup for that price or does anyone have any other ideas before I spend my money?

I have PSU, case, SSD and HDDs, 1080p monitor & mouse. I might upgrade to a better monitor down the line.

I'm particularly worried about the ram compatibility (been reading up on that on the other thread which talk about "Samsung b die" etc, which I have no idea about!)

Any advice welcome. Cheers!
 
Thanks for the info.

I've seen an AsRock x370 killer mobo which is £50 more expensive. It does, however, have built in WiFi so it'd only work out £30 more given I wouldn't need a WiFi adapter.

Tbh I'm not an overclocker. I just want everything to work when I put it all together ☺️. Will the ram work at it's default speeds of 2666mhz given the board supports it?
