YOU need to break it down into platforms. AMD\Intel

I'm gonna go crazy and say: ASRock A320M-HDV

I don't think you need to specify any Intel since you asked for 'most of the modern processors good for gaming' because anything 'cheapest' will not fit all that much of Intel's processor line since Intel cripples processor support with sockets and chipsets. Even when you get into somwhat more expensive boards...or the most expensive Intel boards...you still can't fit as broad a selection of their gaming processors.

You can put any Ryzen or Athlon AM4 processor in that cheap motherboard...even Ryzen 3000 chips when they come available later this year. That just not something you can do with Intel boards. The only thing excluded would be Threadripper, but that's arguably not 'good' for gaming as it's a workstation processor.

Got something cheaper....

But that maybe the cheapest A320, but it's also the worst
since you can spend a few dollars more and get a B450 which is so much better.

Although, it is a bit of a non-sensical question

Lol I legit dunno why but MSI A320M is like wayy cheaper than the AsRock one for some reason in my country here. Guess I'll have to go with MSI then. Thanks a lot for your support anyway!
