[SOLVED] I once again turn you you people.MOTHERBOARD HELP.

[heyimflareon]

Im about to get my new mobo and ram to go with the Ryzen 5 2600 ive had for like a month. Thing is, I dont know much about motherboards. Im going for, RAM wise, a 3200mhz kit from Corsair. But im not sure about the motherboard. My case is a standard CIT Raider, support for all sorts of atx shiz. But it has 2 USB 3.0 ports, and im not sure if ill mess up the board choice with that? SUGGESTIONS? Budget is abour £100 to £120, can underspend though

Practically any B450 motherboard would do. Practically all MBs made last few years have USB3 connections. My favorite for Ryzen are Asus MBs although MSI and Asrock also make comparable ones while my many years favorite, Gigabyte, has dropped the ball this time.
See if you could make a list of B450 MBs you may like in your price range.

Lowkey thinking about just shelling out on this. I dont know much about mobos, or case compatibility etc, and my colorscheme is black and red but as most people do I wouldnt mind going RGB later on.

Looking at it, if I go for the B450-M Mortar, I could probably squeese a water loop out of my money aswell. WHAT DO I DO AAAA

Having a waterloop wouldn't really be needed in your case, its just an overkill.
Better motherboard/ram and a CPU cooler would be much better.

 

[heyimflareon]

True, if I go for a trash mobo then there wont be much headroom for overclocking on that as it is.

 

[iMatty]

Exactly, better mobo with a good ram and probably a good air cooler would do the trick for you.

I have an ASUS ROG STRIX B450-F GAMING with a Ryzen 2600 and 3200 MHz RAM (all OC'd) and it works very well.
See my Signature for specifics.
The other MB's I considered when researching this build were the B450 TOMAHAWK and B450 GAMING PRO CARBON AC, both reviewed very well.

Funny enough, I went for the B450-F and RGB Trident Z. 3200mhz and 16GB. Got a 2600 too
