Which mobo and ram

Can you help?

Looking to build an ITX system using an
AMD Ryzen 5600G CPU.

Not got a clue which mobo or ram to select for it. Any help would be great.

Not interested in overclocking. Very light gaming so no need for a separate GPU.

Thanks

What's your budget for both mb and ram?

Will the PC be used for stuff other than gaming?

Budget, as low as possible.

Like i said in my post above, light gaming but otherwise usual pc stuff. Nothing taxing.

Asrock are very hit/miss for motherboards, but I'd be picking up the B550-ITX/AC just since it's B550 and is relatively cheap.
For memory, I'd get the cheapest/fastest available.

The asrock is one of the cheapest B550 options at around £120 but lacks bios flashback so it may need a loan CPU from AMD to update the bios considering the 5000G CPUs are relatively newly released.

The gigabyte B550i Aorus pro AX is a little more expensive at around £150 but does have the Q-flash so you can update the bios without needing a CPU.

You can get a gigabyte A520i AC which also comes with Q-flash for around the £100.

In terms of ram this crucial is hard to beat in terms of price/performance.

My basket at Overclockers UK:

1 x Crucial Ballistix 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 PC4-28800C16 3600MHz Dual Channel Kit= £79.99

Total: £88.69 (includes shipping: £8.70)
