If its working.... there is no reason to upgrade at all. Motherboards don't increase performance at all. That mobo should have no issue running a r5 1500x, thus no reason to upgrade at all.

He should save up a little more and get a motherboard that's actually an upgrade.

I'd go for at least an MSI B450M-PRO VDH Max, but a B450-A PRO Max would be ideal.

cheap but still decent (for 6 cores)

a bit better (for 8 cores)

even better (stock 12 cores)

are you sure ?

 i mean this a 50 dollar motherboard  how good can the vrms be ?

If he's not overclocking, and using a 1500X it should be fine. You can see the temps of the VRMs in HWinfo, if they're really hot then you might be concerned but I think it's unlikely.

They are not great.... but its also a R5 1500x. Its a 65 watt chip, so its not drawing much power. The VRM is plenty fine for that chip.

Unless a near future CPU upgrade is planned I would not worry waste money on an otherwise pointless upgrade. And even then a B550 board would be my recommendation.
