You don't need much for that CPU, any mobo 450 will do.

But if you want for future proof, the Tomahawk will do good and or the 450 Steel legend.

I own a R5 1600X with a A320 chipset mobo right now. I bought this due to money being a thing and needing to save. I am now im a position to upgrade and have also purchased a AIO to allow for better OCing, hence the need to change chipsets due to A320 not supporting OCing. 

 

Should I upgrade to a B350 Mobo or go for B450 Mobo, i am not 100% of the problems of getting the 450 as in my mind it should be absolutly fine with no issue bar a couple of things being locked due to not being a Gen 2 CPU, but i should still be able to OC ect... 

 

I am looking at the:

 

MSI B450 TOMAHAWK (Socket AM4/B450/DDR4/S-ATA 600/ATX)

 

To Buy, but want to be sure before i do that i wont have any issue with it what so ever. I also couldnt find a B350 board that was the right colour/size/price range. i also hear that when OCing you want a decent Heatsink on the chipset and this one seems to have really good reviews.

B450 Tomahawk is one of the best cheaper B450 boards you can get

And will it have any form of issues with a r5 1600x? I'm not sure is the difference between 350 and 450 will cause issues with OCing at all?
