I'm not worried about overclocking it. Especially because I don't know what that is or what the purpose of it is.

You don't need a cooler with Ryzen. Their stock coolers are more than efficient enough. That should save you $30.

That motherboard sucks ass. Why spend $15+ more for a motherboard with ancient PCI slots when you could get a cheaper one that works just as well or better without PCI slots?

Cutting the cpu cooler and going to an ASRock mobo (with the most updated BIOS) lets you get a R5 1600.

Generally, the more it costs, the faster it goes.

why would I ruin it?

If only I knew what PCI slots were or what they were used for..? I'm very un-knowledgeable about tech..

add on cards like graphics, etc

Alright. So I he's saying why waste money when I planned on using the GPU (I assume GPU plugs into the PCI)? Also, is the memory slot (RAM) considered a PCI or no?

PCI = old slot for old video cards, sound cards

PCIe is the newer version of PCI. It is better and all modern video cards use PCIe. PCI is not needed.

Awesome. Thank you!
