Basically my friends kids are trying to build a pc, I have not built one in 10 years now, they ask me to look over this. Since I switch to accounting from IT over 2 years ago, I stop following this as much. All I know is, proc is probably not bad, ryzen seems to be on par with intels now. Monitor is just 1080p. Hes going to use spare hdd. Looks like it'll be a gaming pc. Kid is high school

[mdram]

get a 450 or 470 chipset on the mobo

the 350 may need a gen1 ryzen to be able to flash the bios for a gen2

 

[rsutoratosu]

So is that a different motherboard ? so basically this board needs to be flash before it can use a gen2 cpu.. thanks..

 

[mdram]

sometimes, depends on when it was produces, and if the manufacturer updated it before sending it out
