Question A alternative to the TUF gaming X570-PLUS

[Buster1990]

Hi guys looking at my first gaming PC build and I’m having trouble looking for the X570-PLUS board in AUS for a decent price. Was wondering if anyone could recommend a similar price if not cheaper board that would work with my specs.

Ryzen 5 3600X
Radeon RX 5700XT
Corsair platinum 3600mhz 16gb
Crucial BX500 1TB 2.5”
Cooler master silencio S600
Corsair CX (2017) 650W (hoping to use as purchased off a buddy brand new)

cheers in advance.

Does it have to be an X570 board? I believe the B450 MSI Tomahawk MAX would work with your system but get other opinions first.

No mate it doesn't have to, i'm open to options!

Pick something off the list that will support your current and future needs. There are a few newer boards like B550s that are not on the list or not released yet but well worth investigating before buying !

Look at the B550's, since they have been released I wouldn't use previous iterations.

What sort of B550 board would you recommend as theirs such a choice!

You can have a sense of the offering on the B550 line up with this video:

All depends on how much are you willing to spend.
