    I am thinking about getting a new AMD CPU and motherboard (maybe a Ryzen 7 1700 and something with B450) but I can't find any RAM from the Memory QVL. I am thing about 16GB in a dual channel configuration, but what should I look for if buying RAM not on the Memory QVL to ensure compatibility? A specific brand, highest speed or something else?

    Drop in and forget would be the GSkill FlareX. They are a bit pricey with zero compatibility issues. If going with a 450 chipset, best bet is to go with Ryzen+, 2XXX series.

    My intention was to get the cheapest 8 core Ryzen. Are you saying that the B450 is not a good match or that I should get a Zen+ CPU?

    he is saying you should get a zen+ CPU, but i would wait for Zen 2 to be released, wont be long even if you don't stump up for a zen 2 the price of the older cpu's will come down.
