Oh right ok I see, would it be a good option since it's cheaper and that I'm on a budget? Thanks

It looks like it will be, yeah, but I always like to see thermal testing and I can't find any. The Aorus Pro performed very well, though, so that's a good sign.

How much is that one?

I don't mean buy it, just that, they look kind of similar, so I think that suggests it (the elite) will be a good board.

Ok so the one for £80 you suggested will be good? Thanks

@Tetras i've just realised that the NZXT PSU is gone out of stock or they don't sell it anymore as i click on it and it says page not found or something. Thanks

How much was it? £60? I'd go for the Phanteks AMP 550 at £65.

£60 i think yeah, The one you you just suggested ( the Phanteks AMP 550) is a 550w instead of the old one you recommended which was a 650w i think so will that matter that much? i have a Nvidia GTX 1660 super and a intel i5-10400F (10th Gen) Thanks

It wasn't me that suggested the original one

550 Watt would be fine for a 1660 Super and 10400F. The 650 is £10 more, I think.

Yup, you should be around 200-250 watt when gaming (depending on other devices, etc), probably lower in some games.

That's a shame quality board for the money, do you need wifi still ? If yes i woud be tempted to get the MSI b560 mortar WiFi.

Otherwise simmlar money £85 no WiFi the Gigabyte B560M DS3H V2

Tetras · 7 Jul 2022 at 15:49

The Mortar is the next best value B560 board they offer, in my opinion, especially as it includes wifi.

Yeah it does look like a good one but £104.99, that's quite a lot for a board, the Gigabyte B560M DS3H V2 (Socket LGA 1200) Micro ATX Motherboard what @mickyflinn suggested is only £85 so that's not too bad but then it doesn't have Wifi, so could i just use a USB dongle and that would work? and if it did work, would it be slower and if so, by how much slower?

Murphsss · 11 Jul 2022 at 18:00

IGNORE this i accidently added another one some how and can't delete it lol so IGNORE this one.

Depends on the USB stick, what is the model number?

I do already have a USB wifi dongle in my house, it was only £10 but may be good enough

Should work fine with the cheaper motherboard.
