  Hey Scrimshaw I'm curious…how does one know the exact stock level? Do you have to ask the seller or is there a page that shows it?

  Also add this one to the post: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Asrock-AB350M-Pro4-AMD-Ryzen-Sock… - $100

    Done.

    As for how I discover the stock levels, this is how.. In this case there's a qty of 99, as you type in 100 it tells you to enter lower.

  Okay the link works now.

  If the search link that I crafted doesn't seem to cover everything, you may have to click this instead and it will show the Ryzen Threadripper stuff. But most of you are not interested in Threadripper anyway.

  i am building up a gaming desktop through deals. I have got so far amd 1700x, 32 gb ram and samsung evo m.2 ssd.
  So what motherboard would you recommend out of those above?

    I use a Gigabyte AB350 Gaming 3 (the full ATX version) although really, any 350-type motherboard will do.

    Sounds like a high-end build. ASRock x370 Taichi maybe?

      do you think the price gap is worthy between these two motherboards? i mean it is kind of high end, i will also get geforce 1070 at least, however should i invest in a motherboard a lot?

        You get more features with a high end mobo. Things like debugging readouts (a little LCD panel that tells you error codes), RGB light, RGB headers, more fan speed control settings, and maybe higher quality VRMs that give you better overclocks and are more durable in the long run when you push higher voltages

        However, overclocking is very dependant on the CPU silicon itself, sometimes you get a CPU that just doesn't OC that well.

        Better vrms, More connectivity (USB ports, sata ports). Better audio chip (except the b350 gigabyte gaming 3), support for SLI if required, a built in wifi & BT card (these things can run like $80-$100 if you buy a pcie dual band wifi and BT card separately; obviously not required if you are using a wired connection). This board is apparently good with overclocking RAM (others better overclocking CPU if you get lucky with silicon lottery etc) to like 3800 stable lol. Make sure you have good RAM like GSkill Trident Z: F4-3200C14Q-16GTZ or F4-3200C14Q-16GTZR.

  Don't suppose there's any cheap DDR4 to go with these?

    Not really. RAM shortage is affecting all stores. MSY limits you to purchase of two RAM kits per customer per transaction

    for 8GB, it's around $105 dollars, and for 16GB, you just buy two pieces.
    http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/G-Skill-8GB-DDR4-2400MHz-PC4-1920…? $103.20 after code. It's 2400mhz RAM, not super fast but it will work with most ryzen motherboards.

    For faster 3000mhz RAM try this 16GB kit but will cost you $239.20

    Ryzen boards are finicky with RAM, double check qualified vendor list or RAM compatibility list before you buy

  Any deals on The new Intel coffee lake i5?

  Edit: Nothing Except the 8350K!

  Reckon this would be worth getting for a Photoshop, light gaming build?

  The 4GHZ single thread boost seems pretty decent but still paying $200 for a Mobo :S

  Just built a PC using Ryzen 5 1600 ($179) and B350 Tomahawk ($159) I got from Scorptec locally. Really wanted to pick deals from OzBargain but we needed the PC done. Always paranoid my choices wouldn't match as well.

  Using a GTX 1060 3gb and an SSD, this is the fastest PC I've ever owned and is working great for 1080p video editing and games and I hear it should work well enough with 4k as well.

    Ryzen5 1600 for $179? That is very cheap.
    How did you manage to get this deal?

  FYI the Ryzen 1700x is actually about the same price (~$380) from amazon US delivered.
