also , how are ryzen - b450 combo's compatibility issues being handled . I heard that a 3000 mhz ram would run on 2666 mhz is not on qvl list of the mobo manufacturer , which itself is a :facepalm: . Also which mobo should i go with the prime or tomahawk ?

all those RAM with 3000Mhz or more actually support this speed with XMP profile so I suggest to get 2666 Mhz RAM also get tomahawk

^^Why?there is no significant saving between getting a 2400/2666/3000 mhz ram so why not get 3000 mhz one.Also MSI gaming carbon pro is a much better mobo then tomahawk so increased budget definitely justify getting it.

True the carbon pro ac is loaded to the brim ... But features like wifi n rbg are really not needed ... And in India it's pricing is so ridiculous that u can almost get a x470 for that price

^^carbon pro is not recommended for its "features & rgb",it is recommended because it has the best VRMs among all B350/450 mobos & just for future reference no X470 mobo that cost 12-13k is worth buying(because those who buy X470 are looking for heavy OC which these cheap X470 mobos can't handle anyway). For those who do some serious ryzen OC only Taichi & asus crosshair series is worth buying.

The vrm of this " gaming pro carbon ac " are really good , as per reviews , but still is it really worth a 28 % markup of prices ? Ok will look into it it the total bill comes within 35k . As per enquiry
ryzen 2600 @ 16800
Tomahawk @ 10300
Carbon @ 13100
Corsair 3000 MHz c16 @ 6000
Or
G.Skill ripjaws f4 3000 MHz @ 6000

Btw corsair n g.skill both are good right ?

It is your choice but I personally would get the best VRM mobo in budget when using a processor like 2600 with plans of OC in future.Both corsair & gskill are good but I think corsair after sales support in India is much better than gskill.

Does better vrm mean more mtf ? Better longevity of mb ?

Yes(but no objective relationship between mtf & temps though physics say high temps are not good for electronics),if you plan on OC or using your pc on high cpu load for long duration daily.Better VRMs mean lesser temps during OC/high cpu usage for long duration which is definitely better than mobo with high VRMs temps if seen in view of longevity/reliability of mobo.

unfortunately the carbon ac seems to be out of stock at md computers , called them up , they are not sure that it will be available before the end of October , thinking of primeabgb , they have it in stock... is it safe to order ?

Should be fine for a 2600 but why this instead of carbon pro even though it is costlier than carbon pro.

In my view, for someone who wants reliability and good ASS Asus is the way to go, :thumbs:
but for someone who is not gonna overclock, X470 is way too much and you have overspent for the intended use.
BTW, what about gpu? You already have one or you have separate budget for that?
