ok so i'm building a gaming pc on a tight budget. can i use the a320 motherboard for gaming? i'll be pairing it with ryzen 5 3500.
hmm ok, what about the cheapest b450 board, the asrock b450m hdv, is it good?It'll work but don't expect exceptional boost frequencies. A320 boards usually have subpar VRM cooling and power delivery. Ryzen 5 is fine but I wouldn't put a Ryzen 7 or above on that, so be mindful.
i'm actually still saving. i know i could just wait and save more, but i need a pc soon. and my budget now for a motherboard is around $65-70. or can you recommend a good board at that price range?If it has the needed bios update, yes it will work. You may, or may not hit as high of boost frequencies, as you would on a better equipped board, with better power delivery though. What is your system budget?
