Just to add, the boards I saw on the net are all gaming boards. I need something for software development (not necessarily an ultra-powerful gaming system). But I do use VM's. If anyone has tried and tested recommendation for boards and graphic cards too, please let me know.

<br> Thanks !

Hi All,
<br>
<br> I've been using Ubuntu 14.04LTS on an Intel processor for many years. I am now looking at building a new machine for software development this time using an AMD processor instead of Intel - as it looked like cost effective and yet powerful enough.
<br>
<br> I am thinking of using a AMD Ryzen 2nd Generation Processor (mostly AMD Ryzen 7 2700X or a AMD Ryzen 5 2600X) and an X470 based motherboard (Gigabyte X470 Aorus Gaming [but not the Wifi version as it's too expensive and I don't need the on board Wifi] - based on
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.techradar.com/news/computing-components/motherboards/best-motherboard-14-reviewed-and-rated-904229" moz-do-not-send="true">https://www.techradar.com/news/computing-components/motherboards/best-motherboard-14-reviewed-and-rated-904229</a> or MSI X470 Gaming M7 AC Motherboard)
<br>
<br> Does anyone have experience using this combination or any other AMD Ryzen 2nd generation systems for software development use? Just wanted to know if it's OK to go ahead since it's a considerable investment OR is it safer to stick with Intel based systems? If you have any recommendations for motherboard-processor that would be great too. Had a cursory glance at some websites talked about some GCC issues with 1st gen Ryzen processors. Also one dealer told me that using the newer AMD processors one needs to install Ubuntu 18, and it won't work with older Ubuntu versions, any idea how true is this?
<br>
<br> Would appreciate an early response. If anyone has experience/knows of other people's experiences building AMD 2nd gen Ryzen systems using Linux, kindly share as I plan to order soon.
<br>
<br> Thanking in anticipation.
<br>
<br> Ravi
