Micro ATX B450 motherboard choice

[Aaralli]

My father's older computer has stopped working. Nothing is recoverable, either because it's old and useless or because it's not good enough to put in a new computer. I'm building a whole new one from scratch. Since he only does very light gaming, and mostly office work (like spreadsheets and such), I was thinking of getting him a Ryzen 5 3400g and a b450 motherboard in the Micro ATX form factor. I just don't know what motherboard to get him. Can anyone recommend the BEST micro atx b450 motherboard that's under $100? Or maybe some different price points, for variety.

You mean B450-I

 

The BEST ITX board isn't under 100$ though lol.

No I definitely want a micro atx, because ITX boards are always more expensive than they should be

https://www.amazon.com/GIGABYTE-B450M-DS3H-Ryzen-Motherboard/dp/B07FWVJSHC I am using it rn with my 2700x, and it came out of the box ready for 3rd gen ryzen. It has four ram slots which is one of the reason i bought it for being a mATX.

I'm typically not a huge fan of Gigabyte motherboards these days, but the B450 Aorus M I've got my R5 1600 slapped onto has been trouble free since the day I installed it.
