Hi there

Well we've now already sold 500+ Ryzen processors, so I am curious to know which processor OcUK customers went for or are planning to buy and why?

Also let us know what mainboard and memory you went with as well. :)

  • 1700
  • Asus X370 Prime
  • Already have 16GB of 3000 & 16GB of 3200 memory to choose from.
I would have bought the 1700X if it came with the fabled "Wraith Max" stock cooler.

Yes 1700 is only one which comes with a cooler.

AMD have MPK 1700X and 1800X with the top cooler, but they are SI only product and not for re-sale, but I shall try and convince them otherwise over coming weeks/months. :)

I want to buy, seems a bit crazy (without more data) choosing between the offerings. DDR4 seems really pricey atm (SSD is covered) so my hand may well be forced downwards on the CPU to a 1700, especially as cooling is included. Without more detail of what the 1700X and 1800X brings to the party "real world" I'll probably sit out the first wave.

It might be a smart play to get the DDR4 earlier? Advice on best value ryzen friendly/tested ram would be great. I had my heart set on 2x16gb as a minimum, £300 seems so high though...

TeamGroup Night Hawk 3000MHz 32GB Kits are really nice and £210 :)

can someone please advise which Ryzen is best for gaming? I like to game at 4k resolutions with my gsync monitor and will be getting a 1080ti later this year.

All three chips are same, only difference is clock speeds and they all feature XFR technology.
So a lot of people will buy 1700 and just overclock it too 1800X levels.

thanks mate. About a month ago I nearly purchased an OC 4.8ghz i7 7700k Kaby Lake cpu. Is the Ryzen cpu more superior than the i7 7700k for gaming?

I will not get into an AMD vs Intel debate, both are great processors, wait for reviews and then make your decision. :)

Gibbo, when is Ryzen going to be added to the PC Systems?

Also, can we get some more options to the Workstation builds. I'd like to add a decent motherboard and graphics card, and it's not easy to explain to my accountant, why my new business Workstation PC invoice has "Ulitmate Gaming, Extreme Overclocked, Uber PC" on it ;)

Haha, we already have PC's for Ryzen and I shall show your comment to my system guy about system naming. ;)
