I'm on an extremely tight budget that cant accommodate that price increase, otherwise I would definitely go for it.

Does that motherboard have mystic light support as the case needs aura sync or mystic light for the rgb fans to work.

Is the motherboard I listed in my first list still good enough?

 

It is pretty rubbish.

 

The MSI B450M Mortar MAX supports Mystic Light and is a better option for £7 more. It is a Micro ATX board but will still fit in an ATX case. No wifi so you would still need the adapter.

Ok.

Is that GPU ok then as its asus tuf as well.

 

yes, I'm not saying all asus products are crap. actually, their x570 boards are the best. however, their b450 boards are the worst. the other way around with msi, best b450 boards, worst x570 boards.
