I am upgrading both my wife's and my computers from Phenom II 965 and FX 8350 to Ryzen 5500. I think that is the best $/performance currently that more than fits our needs. I built my daughter a Ryzen 3600X system a few years back, and it is all the speed we'll need for a long time.
I am looking at a MSI B450 TOMAHAWK MAX II and 32GB of ram(2x16), not sure what brand/speed yet though. The MB doesn't need to be a "gaming" motherboard, but that one isn't too expensive and looks fairly well reviewed.
Any thoughts? anything stand out as a poor choice there?
Every other component I can use from the old computers, including case. I have an extra, new Corsair CX550M PS for one of them, I might order another, or use one from the old computers. I will keep the same Video cards for now, which are Radeon 7850 and 7870. My wife will never need better, I may upgrade to something better down the road.
Thanks
