[SOLVED] Motherboard for Ryzen 2200g build

[philip.moses004]

This will be my first build, so sorry in advance if I get any terms wrong. My build so far.
CPU - Ryzen 3 2200g
RAM - Team Vulcan 8GB(2x4) DDR4-3000 (Planning to add another set, so 4 DDR slot would be ideal)
GPU (Planning to stick with the Integrated Vega 8 for now, until I save enough to get a proper one and not rush to buy one, that's another question for another day)
Storage - Kingston A400 120GB SSD used mainly for boot-up
Seagate Barracuda 2TB 7200RPM
PSU - Cooler Master MAsterWatt 450W 80+ Bronze
Case - Whichever Mid Tower Case with Tempered glass that goes on sale

About the build, this would act as a Workstation/Gaming Rig. I do programming/coding so need a motherboard that's future proof since I'm planning to overclock the system at some point for additional work load. I'm in Canada, and would like to get a suitable board under $130 the only thing I know I would like is a B450 series and a ATX board no mini/micro. Thank in advance for anyone who has suggestions for a rookie.

I don't know what items you have bought so far and don't want to be that guy that tells you that you bought the wrong thing ... so, let me say I see you that you have made some budget conscious decisions. Then I see you wanted a tempered glass case ... there are great options for less, but if that's what you want, then that's what you want.

Why full ATX? You planning to run 2 GPUs? There are some great uATX boards out there.

I put together this compare ... https://www.newegg.com/Product/Productcompare.aspx?CompareItemList=22%7C13-119-138%5E13-119-138%2C13-145-085%5E13-145-085%2C13-119-142%5E13-119-142%2C13-157-840%5E13-157-840%2C13-144-189%5E13-144-189 ... as you will see there are a lot of similarities, so it kind of comes down to specific feature you want and brand loyalty (hey, we are all biased).

The Strix B450s are the best quality, but are expensive. Msi has a bad reputation with Ryzen, yet still a choice.

Asus, Gigabyte, and Asrock are the brands you should be looking for.

I'd have to disagree with you. If you are planning a mid tower case, you must have a atx board. Having a MATX in a ATX Case would both cause trouble with cables and aesthetics.

Totally agree with this.

I mention it because our OP seems budget conscious. My wife's rig is uATX board in a red Fractal Design Mid Tower Focus G and it is visually stunning. Not sure what cable problems you are referring to. Just my opinion.

This is a budget build, I can't splurge a lot into this build for now so its going to a slow process. so far, I have the 2200g and Kingston SSD purchased and in hand, everything else are not yet confirmed I'm waiting on the motherboard to get the rest. I wanted to go with the ATX because when i want to add items to the setup I don't want to limited. I know ATX, MidTower on a budget build would be asking for lot, but I'm planning to upgrading most excluding the CPU & board. As for the Tempered glass who doesn't like aesthetic pleasing PC

Good thing, I decided to ask around. Initially I was going with the MSI PRO4. So after some research I have chosen 3 board, all I think are mid-high range then again I'm not sure.

Any thoughts ?

The Gigabyte is a bit overpriced, and If I was you, I'd get a the Asus board.

Looking today, the Asus and Gigabyte boards are the same price. The Gigabyte has an Intel LAN chip (better than Realtek, IMO) and has built in WiFi ... if you need that. I think I would lean slightly toward the Gigabyte ... depends on the features you need.

Before then, it was 159.99.

I'd agree with you.

Also LEDs are gud
