Evening all.
After the recent death of my 5 year old pc, I've been looking at getting some new parts, but having a bit of difficulty in selecting a board.
I've decided on a Ryzen 5 1600, and I have a GTX 970 which will serve its purpose for now. (at least until we get xmas out the way
) Also got a 750w psu which works fine and I can pinch 8gb ddr4 Corsair Vengeance from my fella for the time being..
Ideally I want something cheap-ish, but not so cheap that I can't upgrade it in the future, like adding more ram, better GPU and an M.2.
The biggest problem I seem to be having is with sata connectivity. Most of the cheaper boards I've seen have 4, but it seems to suggest you lose functionality of 2 of them when adding an M.2 drive, and I would ideally like to have 3 for my SSD and HDDs.
Any suggestions and help would be greatly appreciated!
