Thanks for the reply, i don't quite understand how tier lists work yet lol. This being in E tier i assumed it was kinda bad for those cpus. Anyways, i opted for the B450M S2H since the asus is out of stock again, Gigabyte runs a 5600 non x very nicely from what I've seen from a pc i built for a friend. I believe this motherboard is a better pick than the M-A II. Thanks again!
