Ah awesome combo. Currently eyeing the MSI B350M PRO-VDH as it seems to tick all of the boxes for me, although coming from my black build i’m not sure the dark brown will look as great. My current set is Kingston Hyperx 4x4gb kit (I think they’re at 2666).
A second option could be trade out my kit for a 8gb x2 and then open up my options to boards with only 2 slots.
The B350M boards are a bit limiting though, you have a great CPU and ram in currently. Would be a pitty not to make the most out of it.
If you want to upgrade the mobo and use your current CPU and RAM I would rather consider Z370
That board would be for the Ryzen chip, I didn’t see any significant differences between the b350 and the x370 boards. The only thing I’d currently consider from intel would be the 8700 and a matching board.
If you need the straight story on a particular Ryzen board, or any board for that matter, then Buildzoid’s videos are a must.

Ok, here goes mine after my December upgrades.
)Most of the high end components are used for work though. It is essentially just the GPUs that were bought specifically for gaming. All the animated colours in my box are unintentional.
I hope THAT beast is ensured. Just the hard drives alone are worth more than my current machine! Why have 2x 1080s if they aren’t in SLI though?
Well, it is part of my home contents insurance. I’ve asked them whether I need to specify it and they said no.
I originally bought the two cards to maybe try crypto mining, but if the mining didn’t work out (which of course it didn’t), then I have them to future-proof my gaming PC. At the moment I haven’t really run into issues with any games that a single card couldn’t handle so I’m using the two cards for my multi monitor setup that I’m running. When they run out of juice, I’ll just SLI them.
For mine I didn’t need to either. At my last home they did actually steal all our pc’s. Insurance paid out for everything, just need to provide them with a quote for a similar replacement system.
I almost think if the value of a single item makes up 15 or 20% of your house contents, then it needs to be specified. I’ll maybe “value” my current setup and send it to my insurance to make sure, but every time in the past that I’ve inquired, they said no. I think if it had been a laptop, the story would have been different due to the higher risk.
Ok, I talked to my broker today. They say I only need to specify if the item being insured will leave the house (i.e. Laptop, Cellphone, etc.). Everything else is included in the house contents. The only thing was that my accidental damage was limited to R10k which I’ve now increased to R20k, but in all the years I’ve been insured, I’ve never claimed for accidental damage.
Just make sure you have sufficient coverage for household contents. You’d be surprised how quickly the value mounts up once you start factoring in clothes, cutlery, crockery, pots, pans, furniture, etc…
I haven’t specified my PC, not sure if it’s covered. If not, I’ll just say I self-insured it
