    This is to be ready for Christmas. I would like to purchase ASAP from as few suppliers as possible. Amazon is probably most preferred (prime account).

    Some thing like this is what we were thinking. Please have a gander , feedback is appreciated.

    Theres a warning about possible problems "Some AMD B350 chipset motherboards may need a BIOS update prior to using Pinnacle Ridge CPUs. Upgrading the BIOS may require a different CPU that is supported by older BIOS revisions."

    Anyone know if I will run into this problem?
    I believe the Ryzen 5 has built in cooler, can I get away with that or do I need extra cooler?
