Ryzen was new, so the motherboards had problems supporting the speeds higher than 2666. However most companies updated their bios, and by now they shd have np reaching 3000/3200. Either way, you will need to go into Ur bios and change Ur ram speeds, as it will be on slower speeds by default.
I currently have the gigabyte ab350 gaming 3 mobo, and reached 3000 speeds months ago when I purchased it for my 3000 rams.
If Ur going for non window case, you can save more money by getting any cheapest 3200 rams. You don't have to spend more for that nice looking ram you picked, since the case will be covered. The most popular cases with psu cover are the next s340 or phanteks p400
Okay good to know, I guess you gotta fiddle with settings either way. That Gaming 3 seems to be the most popular mobo for pairing with the Ryzen 1600.
Definitely non-window. I don't care much about looks so the case is where I'd like to save money, if possible (as long as it's not totally shitty quality).
Couple new questions...
GPU: Seeing that there are several different GTX 1060 6GBs, how do I know which one to get, or do I just get the cheapest? Some have 1 fan, some have 2?
Surge protector: Any recommendations? I'm going to have both my new and old PC hooked up in the same area, plus some other things. Nothing fancy, just want something for protection for when the power inevitably goes out here a couple times every winter.
