Parts list:
MSI Tomahawk B350
AMD Ryzen 1700x
Evo 212
Intel 600p 512GB(haven't confirmed whether it's on the new firmware or not)
Ballistix 16GB DDR4 kit
Mastercase 5 by Cooler Master
Radeon RX 480 video card

It's working fine. Booted from USB for install, took about 8-10 minutes start to finish to get Windows installed. Installed the Realtek network driver and the Radeon graphics driver(which completed all other missing drivers). It was painless and functional. Installing Fallout 4 now, but if anybody has any requests let me know and I'll do whatever. Updated the BIOS to the 3/1/17 dated file, but didn't check to see if there were any differences.

That is all. I will now go about my day.
 
How about trying out a few performance benches for fun? But overall man that looks like a great build! I hope you LOVE IT!

It's not too bad; I won't have time to run benchmarks until I get home. Built it at work so I could do it in peace. Once I get home I'm putting in my GTX 1080 and seeing how she goes. I kind of hate the RX 480, honestly.
 
What did you have before as a setup?
id be nice to see some gaming benchmarks.
I was waiting to see how the ryzen was going to play out. It's an interesting processor because It's great if you do a lot of productivity and some gaming, but if gaming is the biggest criteria I feel like the proposition does not look as great. I do editing on Photoshop and other programs but for photography not videography, where these processors would have their advantage. How do you like the new system? What will you use it for?
 
As soon as I get it hooked up at the house and the GTX installed I'll get to it.

It's going to be a jack of all trades. I do some video editing (probably could use some more RAM), potentially some VMs, and potentially as a test bed for some computational work.
 
On default benchmark settings with everything stock including the g1 gaming 1080:
15516

Did you have a particular resolution/settings you wanted me to test it on?
 
Hmmm 1440 with everything max at I think extreme or vh. Tell me if you can notice and stutter that benchmark always had small places where it could slow down quite a bit.

Oh and thank you btw ^^
 
I started it on 3840*2160 at maximum before you responded and scored 9308

I didn't notice any major stutter or slowdown although there were definitely places it wasn't running quite as well of course.
 
Sweet sweet thank you, yeah on older chips slowdown could hit em real good. Thank you again!

Let us know how OC is going on that board when you can get it stable. A lot of folks still hoping for 3.8-4.0 on B350
