[SOLVED] Asus Prime B450M/A with Ryzen 5 3400G and NVME

[petrikos]

Hello,

I already have this motherboard and I am about to buy the Ryzen 5 3400G and the Crucial P1 NVME SSD.
I have read somewhere that there will not be enough PCI Express 3.0 slots available.

If someone knows can you please check this and inform me?
Thank you

You're going to be fine, you've got PCIe 3.0 x4 support in spite of running an APU on the board(scroll down to storage section here).

Thank you. These technologies are new to me. My last PC was back in 2007. This is my build after all these years. I have been using laptops and macbooks until now.

A RAM question now.
I was between two options of RAM (G.Skill F4-3000C16D-16GTZR and Corsair CMW16GX4M2C3000C15) at 3000MHz because the 3200MHz versions are not in the QVL list.
Looking at their websites I found out that both can fit in my Motherboard.
It's the Corsair CMW16GX4M2Z3200C16 and the G.Skill F4-3200C16D-16GTZR.
Which one would be better? I see many youtubers use the G.Skill. Is it more compatible and stable?

Are you sure? The label states PCI Express Gen 3x4!
