[rigger922]

Hello Everyone,

I'm putting together some parts for a Mini-ITX system for my wife, I have bought the parts she needed other then the Motherboard (This is were im struggling). Some quick details she will only be playing games like The Sims 4 etc so she doesnt need any major cooling or overclocking capability there may be a possiblilty of upgrading in the future but this is not a 100 percent, This is the kicker i found only one Motherboard for this system at a good price the other two MB i found are expensive for what she needs please help.


System Specs:
CASE: - CM Master Box NR200P - Ordered
CPU - Ryzen 5 2600 - Pre-owned by me - Using stock wrath cooler
GPU - Asus Strix GTX980Ti - Pre-owned by me
PSU - EVGA 650W GM (SFX Form Factor) - Ordered
SSD - Crucial BX500 2.5 SATA - Ordered
RAM - Kingston Fury Beast (2x8GB) 3200Mhz - Ordered
MB - - ASRock B450 Gaming M-ITX AM4 - Not Ordered
SYSTEM FANS - Are some spare corsair fans ive never used and are fully working

No need for any better MB. it wouldn't make any difference in performance anyway. Still good for eventual upgrade to 3000 or 5000 series Ryzen, with appropriate BIOS of course.
M.2 NVMe SSDs are in same price range as similar 2.5" SATA and beside being much faster are also handier with no cables.
