I'm curious to see if you have any issues booting with Ryzen. Post in this thread if you don't mind. I went with the Gigabyte B350 G3 too, but with a 1600 instead of 1600X. It's looking like I'll have to wait until Tuesday for everything to arrive.So all my new shit will be here tomorrow1600x, 16gb Gskill Flare X pc3200, H110i, and a Gigabyte B350 Gaming 3 mobo. I'll throw my 1080Ti, and 3 850 Evo SSDs in there on a clean install of Windows 10 and see what's what. Pretty excited, though I must admit I feel kind of dirty going AMD but I couldn't resist! Muwah haha.
I'm kind of already annoyed with Ryzen though because I really wanted to go 32gb of ram, and Newegg had the Gskill Flare X 32gb set (2x16gb sticks) for $199 when I ordered, compared to the $175 I paid for 16gb. However it's only spec'd to run at 2400mhz vs 3200mhz for the 16gb set - and I hear that memory speed is like king shit as far as Ryzen performance is concerned
That's the only thing I'm a little concerned about. And the reason I went with the Gigabyte board is dual boot BIOS, so hopefully updating it won't be a giant cluster (which are some of the negatives I heard about the MSI board). It also seems to have better support for RAM, as I've heard of people being limited to below 2333MHz because of poorly implemented/written BIOS.

Most people have had zero issues getting the G.skill Flare X to run at their advertised timings on Ryzen w/ any recent BIOS. The 2x8 3200 14/14/14/34 kit I got ran flawlessly out of the box. Just enable the profile and reboot twice.

naw, it's already like $130, if you use the software and just run fans at 50%, you should be good, unless you OC like a demon.

I'm looking at something like this atm. I have to spend some time and look at cases. I'm unsure if I'm going to get an extra storage drive or just rip the 3tb out of my current (which I'm not taking apart, it'll be used for other stuff).

I'll probably be a little over what I wanted to spend, so it might be like a month before I bite. Is there anything coming out in the near future that might change costs that I should wait?

Ordered mine two and a half days ago, and it's still processing.
Probably the first and last time I order from Jet. They've got a long way to go to become a legitimate competitor to Amazon.

Sucks. I ordered a Roku from them during Black Friday last year and it came fast.

I think it's because they use so many third party sellers. I was doing some reading and it sounds like a lot of the time they're probably not updating to Jet's system, so people will receive things and it will never reflect that it even shipped.
I contacted their help desk last night and they basically just said, "We're working with the seller, we're confident you'll get your shit by the date we said." I don't exactly get warm and fuzzies from that reply.
It's entirely possible that my chip gets here today. But in 2017 to have a system that can't update is inexcusable. Sours me on using their service ever again.
Edit: Just shipped. Fucking 3 days after I ordered. Hopefully it's actually a 1600 and also not broken.

Someone mentioned fans last page and every since I put together my new build with PWM fans they act strange, or maybe normal? It's like instead of there being this gradual ramp up of speed when needed they're pulsing between low and high. They're plugged in correctly and bios / windows settings look good... Not sure, need to dig in a little, maybe it is working as intended, not sure.

Second day on Ryzen and all seems fine. 4ghz @ 1.4vcore, 32~ ish c idle, 50~ ish c gaming. No crashes or BSODs yet. Only issue I had was DX12 renderer in Division is buggy and causes FPS drops and micro stutter. Runs like butter under DX11 though, and my minimum framerate has improved. Really can't complain at all.

Pretty sure that is going to depend on software. Some will monitor the temps and step up the fan incrementally at set speeds. You likely aren't at a linear increase and it's just bouncing between the two speeds as it is fluctuating in temp. Go into your MB settings and look for fan control. On my Asus it is called "Q fan control". I disabled mine and run 100% all the time because I bought quiet fans.

Ah yeah. I found that, and then also found something in AI Suite I never really bothered to open that ran a fan test and plotted the curves of everything. Now they're nice a smooth. Mostly silent, not 100%, but not pulsing like before.

That's insane
I wonder how much it will cost to build a similar rig the days?

A couple Grand? It's tough to say. I don't know what those Titans go for now. But having 3x for gaming is dumb.
