Question Good ultra budget motherboard for AM4?

[Andrea Gallio]

Hi everyone, I am going to get a Ryzen 5 3600, but I still have my GTX 1060 6GB rog strix. I just want to know a good motherboard for this combo, but counting that my PSU is only 400W and I have 1 SSD and 4 mechanical HDD. I heard that Asus is the best for gaming, but it sometimes has problems, but I also heard that MSI is really good. I am not new into PCs, but I am not the best when talking about choosing a motherboard. So, I have a really tight budget, around 50€ ( around 50$ ), can you guys propose me some reliable models?

Something like this will be usable, if unimpressive.

What's the exact 400W PSU? I can't think of many that should be using a discrete GPU. Before you make any purchases, it would make sense to see if you have the parts to make this a worthwhile investment. If this is a junky PSU, you'd do best to hold off on making this purchase at all unless a competent budget PSU was going to be purchased as well.

Gigabyt B550 DS3H is my go to budget board. At least then you get Gen3 speeds for the M.2 drive connected to the chipset. B450 you get gen2. With your budget, you are going to have to look to the used market.

Thanks for your response, but I was hoping for something a little over 60 dollars.

That's why I said used market is your best bet.
