>State the budget & CURRENCY for your build
>List your uses; eg Gaming, Video Editing, VM Work
>For monitors, include purpose (eg photo editing, gaming) and graphics card pairing (if applicable)
>Don't use Speccy. Use HWinfo, SIV, etc.

CPUs
>R3 2200G - Bare minimum gaming(dGPU optional)
>R5 2400G - Consider IF on sale
>R5 2600/X - Good gaming & multithreaded work use CPUs
>i7-8700K - Best for 1080p gaming, but most expensive when factoring in delid, cooling, etc.
>R7 2700/X - Best high-end gaming/mixed usage on a non-HEDT platform
>Threadripper/Used Xeon - HEDT

Motherboards
>For Intel, only Z300 series boards can utilize fast memory

RAM
>8GB - Enough for most gaming use
>16GB - Standard for heavy use
>32GB - If you have to ask, you don't need this
>CPUs benefit from fast RAM; 2933MHz+ is ideal

Graphics cards
>Avoid cheap models ie MSI Armor (Mk2 is ok), Gigabyte G1/Wf, ASUS duals, and others which have small heatsinks and low quality fans
>Only consider AMD GPU if you plan on getting an upcoming HDR monitor
1080p
>RX 570/580 /w Freesync or 1060 6GB are standard 1080p 60fps+ options
>1050Ti or RX560 for lower settings, or older games
>GTX 1070Ti/Vega 56 if seeking higher fps & you have a CPU+monitor to match
1440p
>Vega 56 /w Freesync, 1070Ti if you already have Gsync
>GTX 1080Ti if seeking higher fps & you have a CPU+monitor to match
2160p(4K)
>Titan V or upscale from 1440-1800p
OpenCL work
>Vega 64

Storage
>Consider StoreMi
>Consider getting a larger SSD (better GB/$) instead of small SSD & large HDD
>2TB HDDs are barely more $ than 1TB
>M.2 is a form factor, NOT a performance standard

Monitors
>Consider 75hz minimum; 60hz are mostly old models.
>Always consider FreeSync with AMD cards
>___sync is important for slower response time monitors (IPS)
>PLAN YOUR BUILD AROUND YOUR MONITOR IF GAMING

Still looking for advice here if anyone has any ideas.
It's an i5-3570k 3.4GHz.

I tried some tweaked settings but when testing with Aida 64 extreme, it will say an error occurred and the stress test stopped. That happens when I set the ram to 3200mhz on a AB350M and a 2700x. The ram is an Hynix CL16 3200.

The CPU shouldn't have to do with crashes. It's just x86-64. Unless maybe it's missing some instructions that newer *well or *lake CPUs have that *bridge doesn't.

But for $400, you can do a 2600/X upgrade with 2x4Gb of RAM. That's around 3x your current performance overall, and still a significant increase in gaming.
You could also try and find a used/refurbished Haswell i7 or equivalent generation Xeon workstation. They're sometimes around $250 with 8gb.

Run memtest first.
And the 2700X isn't overclocked?

B350M Tomahawk+2600
OR
X370/X470 Strix+2700X
OR
Any 300 series mobo+8400
OR
Asrock Extreme4/Fatal1ty K6+8700K

VRMs are considered when unlocked CPUs are chosen.

You could lower the ram speed or just jack up the dram voltage 1.4v and try again

Thanks boys.
I imagine I'll have to change motherboard too for socket reasons at the least, right?

Case from a prebuilt I got in 2013 is fucked
Need a new case, preferably sub 80 euro, don't care for LEDs. Don't care for a window as it's under my desk.
Needs plenty of places to mount fans.
Current motherboard is normal ATX.

sell the gtx970 and build a ryzen 2200g pc

Aren't they compatible anyway?
