Hi
So I haven't built a pc in 7 years and I guess it's time for an upgrade to win 11. Currently on windows 10 amd fx-8350 chip gigabyte 990fxa-ud5 r5 Motherboard 24g ddr3 ram. I'm looking at the Ryzen 7 5000g chip. What would be a good Motherboard to pair with it? I don't game anymore just email download music and movies etc. I'd stay as is but I don't know how long my av will continue with win 10
Thanks for any help

If you’re not gaming you might just pick up a used Dell office pc that supports windows 11 and upgrade it.

If you’re building, maybe just grab a case, ryzen 5700g cpu, 32gb ram and whatever size nvme ssd you like etc. On the motherboard grab a b550 series board. You could look at b450 boards but be sure to grab one with bios flashback in case of any issues.
