AMD Ryzen 7 2700X - $289 @ Ebay

I bought the 2700x my first AMD in probably 10 years. Any recommendations on ram and motherboards?

My personal favorite combos are Asrock Taichi boards / G.Skill FlareX or Trident series ram for either AMD or Intel.

Current setup is an Asrock X370 Taichi / FlareX 32gb (16x2) combo - runs my 1700x like a rock. Will clock up to 4.05ghz and stay pretty there too.

No clue. I'm trying to figure it out also.

I had it down to:
ASrock x470 Taichi
Gigabyte x470 Aorus Gaming 7
Asus ROG Strix x470-F Gaming

Still not entirely sure what to go with. Leaning toward the Gigabyte because of the BIOS recovery. I expect a lot of BIOS updates with this chipset, and to not have a fallback....dunno.
 
Thanks for suggestions. I was originally just buying a new case (fractual design r6) for my current setup. Now it look like I am basically putting all new into that case lol and just taking over my 1070.

I would expect a much less frantic update pace. This is an incremental chipset uodate, and by all indications, AMD designed out a lot of the teething issues.

Not that a robust recovery system ia bad, but it is exceedingly unlikely you’d need it. Those are all great boards.

I'd get the Taichi if you are overclocking - overbuilt VRMs / build quality, solid BIOS, fully loaded with features like bluetooth, Wifi, 10GBit ethernet. Asus has the better BIOS setup and Aura Sync (If you are going to RGB) but less features.

I'm not a fan of Gigabyte boards anymore due to the BIOS layout, questionable VRMs (mostly on the low-end, the Gaming 7 is good), and they tend to boot loop in my experience with Z77/Z87/Z170 but I have shit luck.
