2 things only - if you care to read through the entire thread you'd see that I also recommended him an ITX board, as it appears his 'simple b350' board is just that - a board. Second, OP said he welcomes other opinions as well.

a crosshair 6 recommended
to run a r1600 and gtx 460 ???????????? well that a fantastic way to waste around $125 i really must say this recommendation tops the list for you even what the guy needs is a simple b350 board and you send him to such a feature rich high end overclockers board direction for a stock ryzen easy to build option that has about the widest ram support the answer is an msi tomahawk at below $100 the overclockers forum for the crosshair 6 is packed with people who returned the board for being too complex for the intended needs (including the bios revisions and issues ) |

You're welcome! A simple rule - if you can put the components & the cables in their respective slots/sockets - you've done your part! That's all to simple PC building! If PC won't POST in spite of all that - it's not your fault! Well, in 99.9% of the cases.
 That's is the mobo we were talking about! It's a beast, through and through. And the RAM is a killer on its own! I'd say this is very good foundation for a monster of a PC! You're well prepared for future upgrades when time has come, e.g. Zen+, NVMe SSD, beefy GPU, you name it. If you can make a working PC with the current parts, you should be fine as well! Especially when you stated you won't be gaming heavily or OC-ing for a world record. |

@zlobster;
thank you for encouragement. Is this the mobo you mentioned? Asus Rog crosshair VI hero AM4 X370 G.Skill F4-3200C14D-16GVR (on asus qvl list). As a last straw, I could try this combination with keeping my existing parts. existing parts GTX-460 GPU EVGA supernova 650 G1 120-G1-0650-XR Ryzen 5 1600 old case if you or others may have any other suggestions or recommendations, please feel free, I really can use your guidance. |

It's most likely the mobo. I've been lurking here ever since I got my Taichi and all the guys who RMA'd their mobos turned out fine after that.
More so, the symptoms are very much like yours. That's why I said I've seen this movie already.  Change the mobo and call it a day! P.S. never give up so easily! Custom building a PC is a fun and rewarding hobby/profession. As with everything else there may be some bumps down the road. Don't let the challenges challenge you - challenge the challenges yourself!  |

well, as mentioned, I tried, as a last resort, to see if it shows any signs without the memories. No luck. Same thing, both fans spin and after 30 seconds shut off and start again. Without any diagnostic means like speaker beeps or led or some sort of code, there is no way to tell what the problem might be.
I returned the memories yesterday and I am packing all components for return today. I might be hit with hefty restocking costs. Not sure how much I will get back for these parts. @zlobster wrote in one post that "Knowing the amount of similar issues with these mobos, I'd say I already know where the issues is" Can you shed some light, which component is the likely culprit? is it a mobo? I have lost confidence in myself for assembling parts after this. I have been struggling for past 3-4 weeks, like I said earlier, starting with GA-AB350-gaming 3, tried three memory sets, two power supplies, two video cards, and now ASRock board. I do appreciated your time and advise. |

At this point I am also not sure if I would recommend the x370 Taichi. It is a good board, but ASRocks UEFI support is very lacking.
The C6H seems to be a better bet - at least it has top notch UEFI support.
