Itx

[Neo-revo]

My next project I am sort of organizing so I have a less powerful basic computer for side needs is a ITX AM4. If I decided/could get a mono block regardless of make. Is the 470 chipset worth the extra few $ or would a 450 board provide roughly the same overall performance if similarly spec'ed

The only difference really is that the 470 has more pcie lanes so for itx with a dgpu and M.2 ssd it's fine.

So if I wanted to run a decent gpu I should get a 470 and could still use m.2. Thanks for that info @FloRolf

Saw ur title and figured I'd just leave my bio here

 

Also, the Biostar X370 GTN was a huge surprise for me, being both very affordable and well equipped, so you should check out that or the X470 version, you might like it.

The PCIe amount does not matter with itx, you'll always have a single x16 slot and you might have dual m.2, which would already be covered by b450. Ryzen has 20 PCIe lanes from the CPU for m.2 and graphics.

@bio star MOBO.  Thanks for the recommendation. I will look into it. The build is also a blacked out build so if it fits that visual set I will consider it.
