[SOLVED] GA-A320M-H vs A320M-A Pro Max

[D_Artagnan8291]

Guys I need a motherboard for my Ryzen setup and I only have the budget to buy A320 board. I came across these 2 boards https://www.gigabyte.com/in/Motherboard/GA-A320M-H-rev-11#kf and https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/A320M-A-PRO-MAX/Overview . They cost exactly the same and I have no idea what the difference is or which is better. Help me out please. Which is better and why at exactly the same price?
Thank you.

Basically as cheap as I can get. These were the cheapest I could find.

I was thinking R5 2600x or R5 3500. But I'm not sure about the 2600x on these boards due to it's 95w tdp. What do you suggest? Can I run the 2600x without damaging anything?

Is the 1600af available to you? It is basically an R5 2600, for less. Maybe then you can offset the cost to getting a low end B450 board. What is budget for board, and CPU?

1600 AF isn't available as I live in India. And my total budget is 17000₹ so its around 4000₹ for board and around 13000₹ for cpu. I can't really go higher so I'm trying to get the best performance in this budget for gaming and blender.

Thank you for this. But wouldn't a 2600x @12750 and msi a320m a pro max @4099 be a better deal?

Yes, that would be faster. I am not overly familiar with anything but theitdepot, flipkart, and using PCPP, for India.
