I need to find the cheapest AMD motherboard, that is not shit, from this site https://www.pbtech.co.nz/category/components/motherboards/amd-motherboards

I can't use amazon coz it will take too long.

Any size is ok. I'm sure mATX will be the cheapest. I might do a separate post for the case.

Use is for a home office PC that will likely be running a 3000G. Alternatively I could go with intel's Pentium if total cost is less.

Thanks for reading & helping.

Look for 200GE instead, 3000GE needs flashing the BIOS which most cheap boards need an older CPU to do.

that might explain why the 200GE is $3 more

I'm looking at just the boards with the Ryzen 3000 Ready on the box, so BIOS should be ready to go and you could actually get a 3000ge

I'd avoid the a320s so won't mention em.

^This is kinda crappy but could atleast be upgraded to a R5 3600(x) later,

This is probably best choice but 50$ more, if you can afford it go for this.  Heard good things about it from others, and could easily support a OC on an 8 core, likely run a 12 core (maybe 16) at totally stock settings, but might be pushing it. 

Past this point i started seeing either very weak ITX b450 boards, at best same performance as 1st gigabyte i listed but more $, then nothing of interest up until point x570s started coming into play, and said x570 in question has about as good of VRMs as the MSI Mortar board listed above, so not worth it for 100$ upcharge. 

I'm referencing this for quality of board VRM https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1d9_E3h8bLp-TXr-0zTJFqqVxdCR9daIVNyMatydkpFA/htmlview?sle=true#gid=639584818
