The title of your post mentions recommending motherboard and RAM, but the body of your post only mentions the motherboard. Is the £100 budget for the motherboard and RAM, if not, what is your total budget for the two?

Gone on just mobo for £100 as you'd struggle to get both.

Depends on form factor your after these are two options:

• The Mortar Max is micro ATX
• The B450-A Pro is full ATX

There's also the Tomahawk which is around £130, although there's a B grade one for £75.

My basket at Overclockers UK:

• 1 x MSI B450M Mortar MAX (Socket AM4) DDR4 mATX Motherboard= £99.95
• 1 x MSI B450-A PRO MAX (Socket AM4) DDR4 ATX Motherboard= £99.95

Total: £211.00 (includes shipping: £11.10)

thanks, the pro sounds good although they look the same but i tried to use the compare on OC but it wouldnt work

Yes the Pro and Tomahawk use mostly the same components. The main difference is the board colour is a dark brown on the Pro.
