I am looking for advice, as to which mATX motherboard would be the best value to go with the 5700g? It is for a SFF build for a friend. No major gaming, just some slightly older games at 1080p.
Would prefer to keep the costs down, and overclocking etc is not required. Will be paired with 16gb 3200Mhz DDR4. And will need to take an M.2 gen 3 SSD.

All advice greatly received.

Many thanks.
 
Stock is a bit thin at OCUK right now, so I'd probably go for the Asus B550M-A, Level1Techs said it's fine with some airflow to the VRMs, but the MSI mortar or bazooka appear to be far better boards thermally, according to hardware unboxed's testing.

Cheapest alternative B board that I can see OCUK have in stock is the B450M-Pro II at £83. It has DP, HDMI and supports BIOS flashback, so I'd say it is a decent choice. Loss of PCI-E 4.0 doesn't matter since the 5700G lacks PCi-E 4.0 anyway
