[SOLVED] Best motherboard for AMD Ryzen 5 3600X

[russellchance]

Hello everyone! I need help once again 🤔 I'm looking to buy the best motherboard for AMD Ryzen 5 3600x processor. Price, design, and RGB options are don't matter! Here is my build :

• Motherboard - ????
• CPU - AMD Ryzen 5 3600X
• Cooler - AMD Box Cooler
• GPU - ASUS RX460 (My old GPU. I decided not to sell it and use it until prices will go back to normal.)
• RAM - DDR4 G.SKILL TRIDENT Z RGB 16GB (2x8GB kit) 3600MHz CL16 1.35V F4-3600C16D-16GTZRC
• Power Supply - SEASONIC Focus Plus SSR-550PX ATX 550W Platinum
• SSD - WD Blue SN550 WDS500G2B0C 500GB
• Case - Lian Li LANCOOL II MESH Performance

My budget : $500/700.
Thank you in advance for your help!

But that Ryzen is expensive and powerful. Will the motherboard and power supply which I choose will be enough to handle this CPU?

Well, it is up to you what you buy. If you want to you can buy a 3600x and a really expensive motherboard.

Let me get this straight. If I'll buy AMD Ryzen 9 5950X AM4 BOX and put it in my current build...

• Cooler - AMD Box Cooler
• GPU - ASUS RX460 (My old GPU. I decided not to sell it and use it until prices will go back to normal.)
• RAM - DDR4 G.SKILL TRIDENT Z RGB 16GB (2x8GB kit) 3600MHz CL16 1.35V F4-3600C16D-16GTZRC
• Power Supply - SEASONIC Focus Plus SSR-550PX ATX 550W Platinum
• SSD - WD Blue SN550 WDS500G2B0C 500GB
• Case - Lian Li LANCOOL II MESH Performance
• Motherboard -ASUS TUF GAMING X570-PRO (WI-FI)

Will it be working fine? (I'm sorry for asking so many questions. I'm just a big noob in hardware.)

Yes it will work although you will need a CPU cooler

Yes it will work although you will need a CPU cooler

Like this?
DEEPCOOL CASTLE 360 RGB V2

I do not do game development but I can't imagine that GPU will help you at all. And that 550w PSU might handle a 5950X when coupled with an RX460, but if you ever manage to snag something like a 3080 you'll be in a world of hurt. Even lower-spec modern hardware (3060ti or 3070, RX 6800) would be a bad idea when paired with a 5950X. I'd suggest rethinking that to a 650-750W unit.

Here is what PSU I found :
Corsair RMx 850W
