Motherboard sales are pretty rare these days, this is one of the cheapest AM4 boards that has a good VRM. Normally $199 or $149 for the B450 version.
Surcharges: 1.2% Card & PayPal, 2% AmEx. Free shipping excludes WA, NT & remote areas.

No contest paying the $20 extra for the B550M chipset mobo
Yep and the TUF being a better model too
still useful for
1xxx,2xxx,3xxx CPU's
This with a 5600 is an ideal budget build.
What would you recommend for a gpu that can play GTA V and RDR? TIA
What resolution?
QHD
@bobloblawlawblog: I’d recommend a 6700xt, currently running one and it has no issues with RDR2 at 1440p high settings. GTA V should be the same considering it is much easier to run than RDR2.
@celery juice: thanks a lot. ive looked at that in the past but do you think anything in the $300 range could run these games in QHD?
@bobloblawlawblog: Yes but you might have to tone down settings and chuck on fsr
i would go for a 3070 personally
However at the $300 range, you can get a 3060 2nd hand.
What case would you pair with this board?
Any case in existence besides mini-ATX ones? It is like asking what shirt should I wear today, dunno what do you like? Personally I've given up on glass or side windows, the glass just gets too dirty and RBG light shows becoming a tacky meme. Just get something simple and easy to clean.
CoolerMaster NR400 Black $87
DeepCool Macube 110 White $78
DeepCool Macube 110 Black $66
I have both styles of case and and recommend both for general build quality. Obviously not as good as a fractal but tempered glass all around, removable HDD cage, enough air mesh and rear cable access is quite good.
AM4 …. there will never be a platform like it ever again!!
AM5 isn't as good?
Oh it's fine, i just meant it because of it's longevity :) … 4 Generations of CPU's and the flagship gaming 5800X3D is still a viable option for anyone on a Zen+ or Zen2 CPU instead of changing platforms… i just don't think AMD will ever do that again, AM5 should cover about 3 gens until 2025 … still a good platform for sure :)
People sorta had to force amd for months on end to get 5000 series to work on anything that wasn't a 5xx motherboard.
@JerraJones: Yeh the bullsh*t bios limitation crap, at that stage I think the mb manufacturers were putting pressure on amd to get users to upgrade as well… That's why I don't think it'll ever happen again, AMD and ita partners won't want it.
@scud70: AMD also lied about supporting future thread ripper generations on strx4 motherboards though that's a much more niche issue.
Issue with a WiFi card and a 3080? Doesn't look like it have m2 WiFi?
Using one of these right now with a 3080.
Both m.2 slots being used with no issues also have a pci-e wifi card which is plugged into the slot above the vid card (Only reason why i went for this board) no issues at all.
I still don't get why mini is smaller than micro.
Cuz one is ITX and one is ATX - maybe mini ITX should be renamed to nano ATX
Are there any good LGA1700 (12th gen intel) deals?
rip I legit just bought a crap gigabyte vdsh b550 for 129$ only a week ago from msy.
Maybe you can flip it. I bought one of OP's deal just in case my current one explodes lol and if it doesn't I can get my money back on secondary market.
I'm happy I chose the z790 MSI gaming pro WiFi, crazy motherboard $380
Mine arrived today :)
Now to get a processor lol
Thanks. Bought one.
