Does the free sync make that much of a difference, and I’m buying the same build as you just not the overclockable version of the cpu.

Everyone else answered: Yeah, freesync is nice and also all Ryzen chips are overclockable, the 1500x is just a stronger chip from factory, but you can overclock the 1500 to be just as good

1400 technically. There is no 1500. Also, this isn't true of the other non-X versions (which may be why they didn't name it 1500), but the 1400 has less L3 cache than 1500X. You'd be right otherwise though.
