[SOLVED] Is the ASRock b450 pro4 any good for a budget gaming pc build?

[kaib]

im building my first gaming pc wondering if this is a good motherboard?
Thanks

No context, but yeah it's a fine board.

 

[kaib]

Is it a better choice over the gigabyte b450m ds3h?

 

[GorillaMonsoon]

It's a great board, I have the same one. I really like that there are 5 fan headers.

But yeah at least let us know what CPU you plan on putting in there and we can help you better

I have the Asrock X470 master SLI/AC, I like it. Bios isnot super polished but it's usable to do everything I need including OC'ing my 3700X to 4.3.

My specs
Cpu Ryzen 5 1600 af
Gpu Rx580 4gb
Ram 2x8 Vengeance 3200mhz

The board is in the Mid range VRM's. You're fine.

So then is it a better choice over the gigabyte b450m ds3h?

Have you looked at the screenshot? The B450M DS3H is at the bottom of the Low tier. Do not buy that board. It has horrible VRM's.

No problem

is there different between the b450 pro4 and the pro4-f

 

[tennis2]

The Pro4-F is mATX, yes?

[kaib]

yeah there both micro atx

 

[tennis2]

Ah, see, there's a mATX and an ATX Pro4.

https://www.asrock.com/mb/compare.asp?Models=B450M Pro4,B450M Pro4-F

Looks like the B450M Pro4 is better than the Pro4-F.

Mind sharing what country you're shopping in, and what your budget is?

 

[kaib]

Cpu ryzen 5 1600 af
Gpu rx580 4gb already have it
Ram 2x8 Vengeance 3200mhz
Psu Corsair cx550
Case darkflash 21 mesh

I’m shopping in the US
And My budget is around 400$us this is not including the gpu cause I already have one

 

[tennis2]

Sure, yeah the AsRock B450M Pro4 is a good fit.
I think your list is nice. What are you doing for an SSD?

 

[kaib]

Looking for one with 250gb or 500gb
