Question Need Help Choosing a Motherboard

[MistVee]

So Im looking to build my first PC.. Considering my budget ill go for a Ryzen 5 2600 and pair it with a gt 1030 that i already have or ill go for an R5 2400G and then add a graphics card later on.. I need some advice on some budget MB preferably under $100 that will be compatible out of the box with either of these processors and will not need any bios update.. please help..

Ryzen 2600 would be better long term over the 2400G.

M-ATX motherboard(basically, if you don't care about extra features/addons, and is usually the cheapest):
Gigabyte B450 AORUS M

ATX motherboard(the all-rounder)
ASRock B450 Pro4

is that a VGA port on the ASRock b450??

is that a VGA port on the ASRock b450??

Yes, that totally is... AHEM!
MSI B450 Gaming Plus

Yes, that totally is... AHEM!
MSI B450 Gaming Plus

And if i get the 2400G will it work with an analog monitor??

Why the 2400g, when you can afford the 2600?
I was wondering why you were pointing out that VGA port, after I already mentioned the 2600 being the better cpu...

Well i have a VGA monitor.. i could use my tv but thats a 55" screen.. i guess i could use it as it is with the 2600 and then in a couple months i only will need to get a smaller monitor and a better graphics card.. instead of getting the 2400G now and then having to switch to a better CPU, graphics card and Monitor in the future..

Ah, the GT 1030 doesn't have a VGA port.

An alternative is a VGA to HDMI, or VGA to DVI adapter.

yes.. are there any other MB I could consider.. i dont need any extra features.. just need to get the CPU running.. im thinking B450M DS3H from Gigabyte so that i could allocate my budget to something more important.. will this MB run out of the box or will i have to update the bios?

B450M DS3H from Gigabyte... will this MB run out of the box or will i have to update the bios?

Yes, it'll run out of the box.
No, you won't have to update the bios.
