Suggest me a good Ryzen config

[RageshAntony]

I recently dropped my idea of buying a laptop and decided to go for a desktop.

I came to know that Ryzen 5 1600x performs well in benchmarks when compared to core i5 7600k. Since I am a 3D modeller and renderer , I think Ryzen is good for me. Eventhough core i5 7600k excels in game fps, it is only a 15 % difference and I am not a gamer .

But in some forums , people suggest that Ryzen architecture is equivalent to Intel old Broadwell architecture . So go for core i5 .

I am confused.

So my question is , apart from this benchmarks scores , in In which aspects Core i5 7600K excels over Ryzen 5 1600x ?

You will know the difference in performance between Core i5 7600K Vs. Ryzen 5 1600X

 

[RageshAntony]

I want a ryzen motherboard . My budget is 6,500

I need
1. 1 usb 3.1 port and 2 usb 2.0 ports on back and one usb 3.1 port header and one usb 2.0 header for front usbs
2. 3 fan headers for cabinet fans
3.2 RAM slot support upto or above 32GB in total
4. one PCI x16 3.1 slot
5.one PCI x4 slot


I must have good longevity and self-protection systems such as heat proof etc . Atleast 2 years warranty

 

[RageshAntony]

In online shoping sites I found the title for the product Ryzen 5 1600 also had "wraith spire cooler" . But 1600X title don't have anything "wraith spire".

Does Ryzen 5 1600X comes with Wraith Spire cooler or not ?

If yes , what is the difference in performence between Wraith cooler and 212 EVO cooler ?

 

[ssb1551]

1600X doesn't come with any cooler. I have been using a 1600X for a month now. You need to buy an after market cooler or the wraith spire. I am not sure if 212 EVO is compatible with 1600X. I use a Hyper 212 Turbo. Please check the below link :
Hyper 212 EVO | Cooler Master

AM4 compatibility has an asterisk mark. I suggest if you want to buy the 212 EVO better call the shop or seller and confirm if the cooler package has AM4 kit. Otherwise you can go with 212 Turbo. Its awe-frigging-some. There are no screws and what not like the AM3 platform. Its a push pull lever.

Then ok. In the Asus B350 plus page , the usb port specification looks confusing

AMD Ryzen™/7th Generation A-series/Athlon™ Processors :
4 x USB 3.1 Gen 1 port(s) (4 at back panel, blue)
AMD B350 chipset :
2 x USB 3.1 Gen 2 port(s) (2 at back panel, )
AMD B350 chipset :
2 x USB 3.1 Gen 1 port(s) (2 at mid-board)
AMD B350 chipset :
6 x USB 2.0 port(s) (2 at back panel, , 4 at mid-board)

Why this list separated using same heading and a cpu heading . ? How many usb ports (based on types) does it have ?
.
.
.
And also PCI slots lists also confusing

AMD Ryzen™ Processors
1 x PCIe 3.0/2.0 x16 (x16 mode)
AMD Ryzen™/7th Generation A-series/Athlon™ Processors
1 x PCIe 3.0/2.0 x16 (x8 mode) *1
1 x PCIe 2.0 x16 (x4 mode)
2 x PCIe 2.0 x1
2 x PCI

Why this list separated by cpu names ? What does it mean ?

Check the mobo pic with marked ports on the specifications page (PRIME B350-PLUS | Motherboards | ASUS India)

Total of 8 USB ports on the back panel. 2 are USB 3.1 Type A gen 2, 4 are USB 3.1 Type A gen 1 and rest are USB 2.0 Type A.

Unless you want to use multiple AMD GPUs in crossfire, there is no need to get into the specifications of the PCI slots. The slots having clips at the right end are running in x16 mode. The longer slots without clips are PCIe 2.0 slots and the shorter ones are just PCI slots.

 

[Digital Fragger]

May I know why you are so specific about PCI slots? Are you planning on crossfire/SLI? It has PCI 3 slot and you can put your PCI 3 graphic card on it.

Thank you very much for the answer .

How many front USB3.1 , 3.0,2.0 header it have in the motherboard ?

Apart for gpus , what are the peripherals can be inserted in PCIe slots (such as LAN cards )? Can I connect all PCIe x1, x4 ,x8 peripherals in this motherboard ?

I asked this becuase , in future if I bought a peripheral with PCIe x1 / x4 slot , can I able to fit it ? That is does this motherboard support all PCIe x1, x4 peripherals ? (because the x1 and x4 slot pictures in internet is smaller )

You can put sound cards, raid controllers, capture cards, wireless adapters, tv tuners or a second NIC etc.

You don't need to worry about that. Unless you already have any you won't be buying legacy hardware now that only works on PCI 1. You may want to look into sound card if you have studio quality equipment and have need for better audio. I recommend Gigabyte Gaming 3 b350 motherboard over this one if audio is priority as it comes with better audio codec and circuitry.

Ths suggested configs are good but I'd suggest, getting the GTX 1060. If budget is problem, you may want to look into Ryzen 1600 which saves ~7k on processor+cooler.
