Hey all,
As the title really, I foolishly broke the GPU "secure hatch" (or what it is called, that little flip at end of the GPU slot) so that's a good excuse as any to buy something new and shiny, right ? Plus, most likely be buying a new MB once the next gen Ryzen CPU's coming out anyway, so thought I jump the gun and buy the MB now, so wont have to buy it all at once later.
In any case, not that good at the PC stuff but if I not misread things, either of the B550 or the X570 will be able to support the next generation of Ryzen CPU's (4000 series ?), right ? But for now they would also be able to use my present Ryzen 5 2600 CPU ??
I'm leaning towards a X570 since I can get one of those boards with 8 sata slots, the B550 seems to be 6 max. Although that's not a major thing, since can get a sata extension card, just more out of conveniency really.
Then which manufacturer to pick, Gigabyte, ASUS, Asrock or MSI ?? I normally seem to end up with a Gigabyte MB in my cases though, so maybe time for a change ?
Price point would be.. reasonably but not ridiculous priced ?
Thank you for any and all suggestions, as always they are greatly appreciated !!
