Ive already selled my rig and planning an upgrade for this black friday. Think I'll get a Ryzen 1700 and a b350 mATX mobo. 3 questions: b350 or a370, mATX or ATX, and why? Does Thermaltake sends a free am4 bracket for the owners of a water 3.0?

You maybe mean X370? I would take X370 as it supports overclocking. Same is with B350, but X370 has more features than B350, like SLI support, more USB 3.1... etc. As for AM4 bracket, I don't know. You need to ask Thermaltake.

B350 is fine unless you want more than one gpus.

The a370 supports more USB 3.0 and SATA connections. It also supports multiple GPUs better with its PCI-e controls.
Micro ATX is really only needed if you plan on doing a smaller form factor case. Otherwise just go with a standard ATX, it will give you more options for buying, and more PCI, m.2 slots.
Also #help there are bound to be others more familiar with AMD intricacies.
