I play final fantasy online 14 mostly. With the latest update to the game, I’ve dropped from 70fps to 35ish, trying to get back to 75+, as well as windows 7 will not be supported anymore in a few months, I thought it’s a good time to move .

One of the cheapest mobos available is the ASRock B450M PRO4, whihc is probably close to half the price of what you currently have selected. The board isn't anything special but is good enough for the 6 core Ryzens.

That's after a mail-in rebate - CAD$99.50 less $30 mail in rebate. But a rebate that takes off 30% of the price is nothing to sneeze at!

yeah that’s pretty much the same board as far as features / quality go, for a nicer price thank you for the suggestion
