    The Ryzen 2600 is a nice upgrade from my AMD 8370. The software to auto overclock causes the BSOD. Make sure that you download an updated ver. of WIN 10 and put it on a flash drive before you begin your build, then do a fresh windows install (or you will experience crashes) If you want to OC, do it from the BIOS.
