Question First Complted Computer Build, Question on MotherBoard compatibilty.

[Dylan Havell]

Hey Guys! So as the title this is my first build, I started with buying whatever parts i could over the year and im finally about to buy the last component aside from the case and powersupply.

Anyways, This is my parts list that i put together https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/user/Zehamas/saved/9ynfdC I was planning on going with a ASRock X570 Phantom for about 200$ CAD. While i was about to buy it on amazon a MSI B550PA Pro motherboard popped up on sale for 149 from 179.
https://www.amazon.ca/MSI-B550-PRO-ProSeries-Motherboard/dp/B089CZSQB4/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1CUD9ORI9ES8&keywords=msi+b550-a+pro&qid=1668743169&qu=eyJxc2MiOiIxLjc5IiwicXNhIjoiMC43NyIsInFzcCI6IjAuMzAifQ==&s=electronics&sprefix=MSI+B550,electronics,104&sr=1-1

Thats a whole 30 dollar savings i could get lol. But would this motherboard be compatible? I tried to put it into my parts list but it does not appear, Would this mean it is incompatible with my current components. As i said this is my first build and i have no idea about building computers but i see that they both are AMD AM4 ATX boards, So would this work for me? If not for a budget of 250$ CAD is the ASRock still a good board for the price?

Thanks!

If you have the "Compatibility Filter" (left column in the Parts List box) enabled when searching for additional parts, then non-compatible parts won't show.
