Cheap AMD(Ryzen 5) Build

[Ratisbona]

I'd knock 40-50$ off of the Motherboard going for something linke a MSI B450 Tomahawk and add that Budget towards a better Graphics Card. A X470 Board for a Ryzen 2600 is slightly overkill.

Windows keys can be obtained for cheap from sites like kinguin, scdkeys and ebay.

Also you can add a r5 3600 for a slight increase in price.

I couldnt see what you want to focus on.. casual gaming? heavy workload?

you should spend ~40-50% of cost on gpu for gaming or grab a 2700 $185 for severe workload

How is the MSI B450 Tomahawk better than one of the other options that PCPartPicker offers?

Specifications:

At least 2 PCI-E x16

4 Ram Slots

Was hoping for onboard wifi but I can get a USB one or install one

Ethernet port(s)

Onboard USB 3.0 headers

I also have another question, since I have a one terabyte SSD what port should I look for in motherboard in order to plug it in and have it be able to run its' best?

[Ratisbona]

I didn't say it was better, what I meant was it's usually better for gaming performance to allocate more budget towards the graphics card and less to the Mainboard than you did in your partpicker list. As such a B450-board is better value (not "better performance") than your x470. Vexicus recommended an eaven cheaper one, have a look if that fullfills all your needs. If you really need more USB3.0-Headers (or even 3.1 Type C) for you'll still need a better equipped x470-board.

A SSD can use either a SATA 3-Port or a M.2-Slot. Both will be present on pretty much all AM4 Boards so you shouldn't have to worry about it too much. Do you know what modell you have?

I agree with @Ratisbona , @Mana_Maniac. The B450 board is pretty good, and gives you headroom to go up to the Ryzen 3 spec when you're ready. Also better graphics card will be nice.
