so very tempting.

not a phrase i ever thought i'd hear myself utter, but those are good looking motherboards.

If upgrading on a budget MSI b450 boards paired with a 3600 and 3200MHz memory is a fantastic gaming bundle.

It comes under budget but the performance is premium for the money. These particular boards don't require a CPU to flash to a compatible BIOS for ZEN 2 compatibility - but i would personally wait until they have the BIOS out of BETA if buying now/soon.

Below is one of many reviews of the 3600 - but paired with a x570 and 3600MHz memory - but don't let that concern you the performance hit of 3200MHz memory isn't a concern:

@Terrorfirmer - how do you find the meshify btw? stuck between one of those or a nzxt 500 / 510 refresh.

Great. I really like it. Easy to work with, neat, with a compact enough profile and it looks sleek. For my new Ryzen and Navi build I ordered another one! Though I went black this time around.
