AMD AM4 iTX options

Looking at a small build based around the low AMD CPUs

Looking at the PRIME A320I-K, but other options or recommendations.

That board uses SIC639 powerstages in 4+2 phase config, so it certainly isn't the worst, but lack of heatsink equally certainly limits them.
Is it going to be light use/multimedia/web browsing PC?

Usage will be a firewall untangle or pfsense. Looking at switching to Untangle as Unifi's offering is dire.

NIC config will be a PCI-E 4 port Intel NIC

I have an I3 6100T that was my pfsense box, but is now running ESXi will a Windows 10 PC and couple of Linux VMs.

Or do I ditch any AMD thoughts and stick with a lower powered Intel.

Should be perfect for that use.
SOC VRM wouldn't be stressed by APU's integrated GPU in that use.

Just need to find one now.

Noticed that and at those prices I think I'd rather fall back to an Intel based board with an I3 6100 or something.

Will look at suggested board, but it's for Untangle. So I don't care for audio, 50 USB slots and such.

My itx intel setup is using an Asus H110I Plus Intel H110 itx
