Question A320 vs. B450 Motherboard on Ryzen 3 3200G/ Ryzen 5 3400G

[aldoustabuzo1290]

Should I buy a B450 motherboard on Ryzen 3 3200G/ Ryzen 5 3400G instead of A320 chipset? Does this affect the performance of the rig? I'm not planning to overclock the CPU. I'm gonna be using it mostly for Microsoft apps and light gaming like DOTA 2, LOL, Minecraft and PS2 emulators. Thank you.

Go to b450 chipset if you can, even lowest b450 is better than best a320.

A320 MB s are are cheapest of the lot, with very poor BIOS options and equipment. Some are chipset limitations like memory and PCIe limitations and no chance of upgrading CPU of next generation.
