Sub £100 AM4 Motherboard recommendations

Hi guys,

I'm in the market - got to replace an old b450 board.

Fairly flexible requirements: need VGA, 2x M2's, 4x ram slots. Think that's it really?

Any recommendations?

Ah, I didn't know that. The old board has a 3200g currently but a 5600g might be on the cards...

The problem with all theses cpu's is diffrent bios versions so you need to be vigilant in your checks for compatabilty.

What board do you have ?

You can get adapters to vga if your still on an old monitor.
