Looking for a board for new build, don't want to spend more then £150

Looking @ options I don't have much choice.

What would you recommend?

I will want to do a bit of overclocking but not fussed on been able to push the chip to its limits.

Which form? I just built that exact setup and got this, very happy with it. Not sure it’s the form you want though and it’s a little over your budget.

Cheers, ended up pulling the trigger on a MSI B550 Mortar WiFi micro atx

Sweet, the board is very similar to mine albeit a different form factor. Enjoy I think you’ll be happy

You’ll need to flash the BIOS to support your CPU, it’s pretty straightforward, there’s a flash option in the BIOS itself, just just dump the file onto a USB stick. There is another way to flash with nothing but power connected to the board but I didn’t have to do it that way myself.

The MSI B550 Mortar will be great for 5600x
