I would like to build a Ryzen desktop. Can anyone recommend a good

I'm planning on a first-gen, because the second-gen has similar
stability problems as the first-gen had, and AMD hasn't released errata
for the second-gen yet (as far as I know...I would love to be wrong).
I would like to be a cool kid with a Threadripper, but I can't justify
the cost, so I'm thinking maybe a Ryzen 7 with /only/ 8 cores. :)
Running Ryzen 7 2700 with Asus X470-PRO. No major problems so far.
Minor issues:
- powerd/amdtemp don't work correctly, I'll probably retest when 12-BETA
is out
- Linuxolator doesn't work (as petefrench pointed out)
- Had a crash while backing up to external HDD but pretty sure the
problem was a bad SATA connection
The system does a lot of poudriere builds. Cannot comment on long-time
stability, system is off at night.
Ideally, I want an Intel NIC, ECC memory support, and a 3-year warranty.
Board has an Intel igb NIC. According to the vendor "ECC support varies
by CPU". But only found reports of ECC not working, not a single success
story.
The X370 board is a bit cheaper. Went for X470 because X370 boards may
require firmware update for 2nd gen Ryzen.
