Hey guys, I'm planning on buying a budget gaming PC but I need help with a known good motherboard that suports 3rd gen Ryzens

Pc I'm planning to build:

 

RAM: Corsair CMK8GX4M1D3000C16 Vengeance LPX 8 GB (1 x 8 GB) DDR4 3000MHz

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3400G

PSU: Bequiet system power 9 (I have this PSU at the moment)

Storage: Kingston A400 128gb M.2 SSD

GPU: None at the moment (Vega 11 APU)

Case: Corsair SPEC-DELTA Carbide Series

 

Does the case have good airflow and some extra clearance foe hiding cables from a non modular PSU?

 

 

Please recommend me a good mobo that would support the 3400G and doesn't cost more than £70 on Amazon UK

i would go with at least 16GB of RAM, especially because the apu also needs a bit of the ram

Also it is important to know the usecase for the system, or its hard to say. whether it will perform well.

get ATLEAST  sticks of memory and use dual channel. this will MASSIVELY improve gpu performance.

 

for the mobo, anything b450, x470 or x570 is fine. x570 is overkill and b450 is the cheapest

Tier lists for building a PC.

 

Motherboard tier list. Tier A for overclocking 5950x. Tier B for overclocking 5900x, Tier C for overclocking 5800X. Tier D for overclocking 5600X. Tier F for 4/6 core Cpus at stock. Tier E avoid.

(Also case airflow matter or if you are using Downcraft air cooler)

Spoiler

 

Gpu tier list. Rtx 3000 and RX 6000 not included since not so many reviews. Tier S for Water cooling. Tier A and B for overcloking. Tier C stock and Tier D avoid.

( You can overclock Tier C just fine, but it can get very loud, that is why it is not recommended for overclocking, same with tier D)

Spoiler

 

Psu tier List. Tier A for Rtx 3000, Vega and RX 6000. Tier B For anything else. Tier C cheap/IGPU. Tier D and E avoid.

(RTX 3000/ RX 6000 Might run just fine with higher wattage tier B unit, Rtx 3070 runs fine with tier B units)

Spoiler

 

Cpu cooler tier list. Tier 1&2 for power hungry Cpus with Overclock. Tier 3&4 for overclocking Ryzen 3,5,7 or lower power Intel Cpus. Tier 5 for overclocking low end Cpus or 4/6 core Ryzen. Tier 6&7 for stock. Tier 8&9 Ryzen stock cooler performance. Do not waste your money!

Spoiler

 

Storage tier List. Tier A for Moving files/  OS. Tier B for OS/Games. Tier C for games. Tier D budget Pcs. Tier E if on sale not the worst but not good.

(With a grain of salt, I use tier C for OS myself)

Spoiler

 

Case Tier List. Work In Progress. Most Phanteks airflow series cases already done!

Ask me anything :)

Roughly £320, I just want something that would handle GTA V, Rust, The forest or rocket league at 1360x768 at medium/high settings and later down the road I will throw in an RX580 4GB which will then make it much more usable for somewhat decent gaming

Also I will probably throw in another stick of ram for the advantage of using dual-channel

Is there any motherboard that is known to ship with a BIOS that is compatible with the CPU in my build, or can do BIOS updates without a compatible CPU?
