[SOLVED] B450 Motherboard for Ryzen 3000

[mwhines5]

I want a b450 motherboard for the new Ryzen 7 3700/Ryzen 7 3700x. I is it worth me getting the b450 motheboard, the asus rog, or is it worth me spending alot more for the new motherboards? I stream and game with the PC, well will be.

An b450 MB would work fine but have to make sure it's VRM is up to scratch for 8 core CPU. Also may need BIOS update for Ryzen 3rd gen. not all manufacturers have released such BIOS version yet but likely will soon. Unless it's unequivocally stated on the box or in the sales ad, it will need 1st or 2nd gen Ryzen to update. Some MB may also have a button to flash BIOS even without or with wrong CPUbut not many.

Do you reakon you or someone else could find a good motherboard for what I want? For a maximum price of £110?

I personally would rather go for the x470 for a 3700/3700x on my msi b450 gaming plus the highest i would go are 3600 cause of the bad vram heatsink.

Someone from UK probably can, I'm not familiar with UK market pricing.
