Help me choose a motherboard please.

[carrickwater]

Hi. So someone on Reddit helped me with a PC part picker list, but the motherboard they choose was too expensive. This was the reason they gave, which I don't know if it's true. ( This is completely subjective, but I used to be a PC repairman, and I'd personally stay away from AsRock. I've had no shortage of issues with AsRock boards. I think Asus is best, and MSI/Gigabyte are tied for second.)  I looking for a motherboard that costs around 200$. This is my PC part picker List. Feel free to tell me about any another issues, thank you.

Motherboard: b450 tomahawk max

i would also recommend getting the cooler master mwe gold 650w psu.

 

and I don’t see a gpu, you need one with that processor because it doesn’t have integrated graphics.

Some notes on your build, you don't need that aftermarket cooler the included one is fine and will fit in your case. And your case has front panel USB-C but your motherboard doesn't so that port won't work. Also you need a gpu for your system to work, if it's for gaming I'd recommend a 5700XT.

Brand means nothing 

A model is what proves if it's good or not 

Not the brand, as for the board , get either a b550 pro 4 or a b450 tomhawk max or a mortar max 

Get rid of that cooler ,also what GPU are you planning on using ? Because the 3600 does not come with an integrated one

I have a GPU already in my build right now.  I didn't know the Ryzen came with a CPU cooler. Is it good? Everyone is mentioning a b550 pro 4 or a b450 tomhawk max or a mortar max, which honestly is confusing haha. @Darpyface will those motherboards work with the front usb c, or do I need to get a more expensive option.

Great. One less expensive part.

Ok so I just found out that all of the motherboards which where picked are ATX. Sadly those would not work for me.

Just noticed that you have a mini itx build

My bad. The strix I is a pretty good board

If it's over your budget look at the aorus pro I 

Which should power a 3600 

Itx boards are not widely available as b450 

Mostly atx and matx
