The controller has argb headers and is usually sata powered or something like that.

Ah okay even tho we're getting a bit off-topic now - the lighting could not be controlled via software then, right?

Ah alright ( even tho you can get a controller )the just go for the pro 4 

It's plenty for a 6 core.

Huh? I know that there are controllers but are there controllers which allows u to use aRGB hardware on a non-aRGB mainboard?

Both will handle it just fine

Heck b450 boards will be more than enough

The tomahawk max or the mortar are good cheaper options

As for b550 

Both will work just fine.

Yeah I'd definitely go with the B450 Tomahawk max but unfortunately it does not have an aRGB header which is pretty important for me..

@gloop @Jurrunio @TofuHaroto
I'd go with the Ryzen 5 3600

Hej y'all,

I just have a short question. Should I go with the ASRock B550 Pro4 and save some money, or should I pay an additional 36€ for the MSI MAG B550 TOMAHAWK?

Idk if the Tomahawk is worth it paying 36€ on top or not.

Best Regards,

Do you use OBS or other programs using nvec h264 or so? If not, just replace the RTX 2070s with the RX 5700 XT.

I guess if you really want it and you really want rgb go for it 

Yeah I'll see which one to choose.

Wait until all b550 models are released and them base your own decisions based on the price and features etc 

Yes, thanks!

There is the thermal take tough ram but it uses hynix and it's shit in terms of quality

Yeah I came across this ram already but unfortunately it's not available in white which is also pretty important for me (forgot to mention that) as I want to keep it all black'n'white and nobody want's to spend hundreds of euros for white mobo so I thought having white ram would be a good compromise.The Trident Z Royal would be white but it's really pricey.

Just now, TofuHaroto said:

Then get a 2070 super 

Other than that maybe the ram is a little overpriced but if you like how it looks 

These are micron quality dram chips that are close to b die 

 

Yeah I think the 2070 super is pretty good priced for a decent gforce card.
Actually I've chosen the RAM cuz I wanted to go with corsair's rgb software ICUE but then I decided to get non-rgb fans so I might replace the ram aswell. Any recommendations for a decent ram? Should be rgb tho.

Usually they have a high stock voltage out of the box 

They don't have the best quality boards as well 

Ah okay. That's kind of a shame as they look pretty dope imo.

//Offtopic: Good job at ur logo btw

Wait until all models are released 

The rog strix is overpriced and has nothing special 

Have a look at the b550 tomhawk mag 

It has a 6 phase 4 stage power design iirc and it is fairly priced

Edit : about that list

Get a 5700xt unless you need nvec h265 or something 

 

Thought about getting an amd card actually but I really love the nvec h264 for using OBS.

Considering how problematic Gigabyte has been recently, I'd say look at the B550 Pro4 from ASRock

Which type of issues? Didn't read anything about Gigabyte tbh.

Is there already a price revealed for the b550 tomahawk mag?

Hej y'all!

I'm still struggling with choosing a mobo for my planned setup. Here I've listed all my planned components for now: https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/fZwpvW
As the ROG Strix B550 mobos will probably cost too much, I checked the new Gigabyte mobos with the B550 chip. I found a site with the priced (dunno if they are 100% accurate tho). I'd love to hear some experiences with Gigabyte mobos from u and also which of the new Gigabyte B550's u'd recommend me. I'm thinking about the B550 Aorus Elite vs the B550m Aorus pro.

Here's the price list and some information about the mobos: https://wccftech.com/gigabyte-b550-motherboards-prices-specs-detailed/

Thanks in advance!

You can save some money on The GPU. There are cheaper options by other manufacturers starting with ~500€.

yeah but I actually love the FE design and my case will definitely have a window. That's also why I've chosen RGB ram.

If you can wait for b550

I say wait for reviews and models to come out

That way you can decide what fits your budget and what's best for you

Okay, thanks!

Neither

A tomhawk has a 3 stage 6+2 phase power design and it's a whole lot better than these 

Also it's cheaper

The B450 Tomahawk would cost me 117€. Should I wait for the MAG B550 Tomahawk and check its pricing? Actually it looks like it will cost way more as of the design factor.

@Meganter
Well I think the B550 Aorus series will be priced similar to the Strix B550-F Gaming. Would u then prefer the Strix or the Aorus?

I just saw that there already seem to be a price point set: https://www.amazon.com/MSI-B550-ProSeries-Motherboard-DDR4/dp/B089CZSQB4?language=de_DE

@Meganter
Didn't know about the SSD, thanks!
Actually I don't really like the look of the mobo, especially not the PCB. There will be a MSI B550-A PRO soon. Would that be a good looking alternative to the MSI B450-A PRO MAX? Hope it's not getting too expensive tho.

Not a single one who ca help me with this?

Country: Germany

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: GTA V, Battlefield, VALORANT, Minecraft RTX

Hej y'all!

I'm still planning my future gaming build. I'd love to keep it budget but get the best out of it.

These (https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/wg377T) are the planned components for now. As I said, I want to keep it budget. This is why I'm thinking about getting the ASRock B550M Pro4 instead of the planned Strix B550-F Gaming.

When I'd go with the ASRock, I could also save some money on the case.

Now I need your help with choosing one of the said mobo's or even a complete different one. The problem is that I definitely need an addressable RGB-header!

Thanks in advance!

Go for the CX 650M (grey label), it's well known for being a good PSU.

https://www.alternate.de/Corsair/CX650M-PC-Netzteil/html/product/1253698?event=search just to be sure. Thats the correct one?

I suggest you go with a CX 650M, since it is one of the only reasonably priced PSUs at the moment. ( it's a really good PSU too) 

Seems good aswell. be quiet! Pure Power 11 CM 500w vs Corsair CX 650M. I think 650w would be good for the future if I want to upgrade or OC some parts but idk.

wait, hold on, not any PSU will be suitable, some PSUs may not be safe and go bang while in use, so what PSU are you going with?

I would have gone with the be quiet! Pure Power 11 CM 500w
