Looks like I might be going with a 3600 CPU for now
Going to need a motherboard to go with it
From this very website what would you recommend ? and what should i avoid ?
i have no idea about AMD boards, so confused as hell (but have read about a lot of board have vrm issues or something)
Criteria -
1) Works with 3600 CPU
2) upgradeable to the 5xxx CPUs in the future
3) Used for gaming, including VR Via USB-c and wirelessly
4) Connected to a Fibre Optic internet connection (but not sure what 2.5 and 1G networks are, so assuming 2.5 is only for LAN)
5) minimum 4x USB 3 on the back / 1 internal (2 usb 3's)
6) minimum 1x USB-C on the back (1 internal as well if poss)
7) USB 2 ports (i guess i can buy a HUB) as i need 6 minimum
8) ATX
9) m.2 (2280) (1 extra is a bonus)
Unsure if I need Wifi-6 (but want a future proof board for 6+ years)
No Asrock boards please, cant stand them
thanks
