Best Budget MATX Motherboard Under £60? (Choose it for me!)

[arronthebrown]

Hi all,

Recently purchased Asrock AB350m motherboard from Amazon, but they came with 1 standoff screw each lol.

Might as well take the time to post and ask the community, what is the best budget motherboard I can buy for under £60? My main focus is on longevity, and I've heard good stuff about ASUS and Asrock for AM4 motherboards. Remember, it has to be a MATX motherboard! 😛

My specs:

AMD Ryzen 5 2600 (with stock cooler)
Sapphire RX Vega 56
16GB Corsair C15 3000MHz RAM
Thermaltake Versa H18 Case
x6 Arctic PWM f12 case fans
Acer KA241y Monitor

Estimates can go over £60 but only if they're extremely cost effective e.g. it is likely to last twice as long for an extra £10, or e.g. it has significantly better sound cards, same amount of USB slots, and a much better VRM set up for an extra £10, etc.

Thank you for the suggestions, I'll look at them tomorrow and probably pick one from here if I think it's better (or more cost effective) than the Asrock AB350M!

Personally I'm not much of an Asrock fan, they've had some iffy capacitors and VRM's in the past (same for MSI). If I had a choice I would go for Gigabyte, Asus, or even Biostar over either of those previous manufacturers. Also, please make sure that your board has 4 memory slots, you may not need them now, but in the future its much easier (and usually cheaper) to just add more ram, than to replace the entire kit.
