Hi,
For my sins I find myself looking to build a new PC for my Son at this terrible time for PC hardware availability and price. I am likely going to upgrade my own PC and use the spares for the bulk for his build.
Starting with the CPU, Ram and Motherboard I am considering getting a AMD 5600x and 16 or 32GB 3600 Ram, and so I think a B550 motherboard will suit my needs/wallet best. I dont need a Z board.
So anyone got any suggestions on which AMD B550 motherboard is a good one - can be ATX or MircoATX (which I have now) as my case is full size.
Any advice would be appreciated.
I have a Silverstone R06 case and Corsair RM750x PSU already so once this is done the dreaded GPU hunt will begin.

- Using a 5600x AMD CPU
- ATX or mATX is fine
- Cost is important after that performance for gaming.
- 4 RAM slots
- 2 NVMe would be nice
- Dont need WiFi
- Dont Need RGB
- Dont need good Sound - using an external DAC
- Dont need 2.5GB ethernet really.
- Dont Overclock
Any advice would be appreciated.
