Best bang for your buck B650 Motherboard?

fraps · 9 Nov 2024 at 13:25

Looking to do an Am5 build and was wondering what would be the best b650 motherboard when considering price. Would most likely want to a cpu upgrade in a few years so would need to be capable of that. Thanks!

Probably this for £135 , comes with 3 x m2 slots but the only caveat is the 1gb lan 900mbps speeds where other boards have 2.5 GHz lan 2300 Mbps

Look into the difference.

Doesn't seem like the worst trade off. 1gb lan is plenty for me. Cheers for the reply.

There are cheaper boards than that, especially if you're content with MATX, but from OCUK that looks like the pick right now.

You can also add a LAN card given the slots on that motherboard later if you do need it in future.

Pretty sure the ASRock HDV/M.2 and Pro RS are considered best bang for the buck capable of supporting any AM5 processor with good VRMs and decent feature sets.
