AM4 micro ATX system

[waxman77]

good afternoon,


I would like help in designing a AM4 micro ATX system. It can have dual pcie gen 4 slot.
But one will do. I am not going to use this as a Windows or Linux desktop but as a firewall that can handle at least
10 gigabits. The card I will be using will be an
Intel x550 t4 or even a x710 t4.
So CPU will have to have a igpu.
RAM will be 16 GB.
SSD 1 TB.

The 5500gt only supports pcie3 so check if it will affect your network cards speed.

OK, so what can be recommended?

Both them network cards are pcie 3 X4 and pcie 3 x 8 respectively according to Google you should check to confirm .

Why are you saying you need pcie4 slots ?
