I've just read the announcement of the new Ryzen 5 7400F on Club386 so I wondered how cheaply I could build an AM5 system. Purely as an exercise. So I was very disappointed to see that OCUK do not compete in this space. The cheapest reasonably reputable AM5 motherboard is £75 at one of OCUK's competitors, but OCUK's cheapest is £124. It was optimistic to hope that OCUK already had the 7400F but they don't even stock the 7500F. A 7400F CPU + motherboard bundle for under £200 would be very compelling.
No budget AM5 motherboards?

Uh, sure, but they need to pay for wages and heating so…
OCUK stock sub-£100 Intel boards.

Are they DDR5 boards or DDR4? PCI-e 5.0?
I agree that there are few AM5 board that are well priced on the site but you can always choose to buy something else.

Asrock B650M-HDV/M.2 is such a solid board I wouldn't really consider anything cheaper. Drops below £100 quite frequently.

Wonder what the profit margin is on that board?
