Can a cheap motherboard hurt my build?

[Grammade]

Budget (including currency): 500 USD

Country: Indonesia

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: casual gaming 

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): none

 

my friend offer me his ryzen 1500x + asrock ab350m-hdv (bundle) for only ~110 usd which is damn cheap considering where i live, in which a used 1500x still go for more than 100 usd.

i plan on sticking a 1070ti on that thing (bottlenecked, overkill, i know), and will upgrade the cpu to something around ryzen 3600 in somewhere in the future.

 

the question, can a cheap motherboard (ab350m-hdv) affect my components in a negative manner?

i mean the asrock official web page for that motherboard said it does support 3600 and up to 3900,, but it still a concern for me.

It's fine for that chip. If you don't plan on upgrading for a while it won't really matter. Yes, there are better boards, but for that price it's hard to beat.

In the future don't use USD unless you're buying in the US. It's irrelevant to you.

The board should be fine for quad cores and even six cores (but without overclocking!). Just make sure you have decent airflow in the case, especially on the VRM.

is it because of the board it self disable overclock or because of technical limitation?

overclocking uses more power = more stress on VRMs = your board's bad VRMs will overheat = either cpu will get slower in order to keep your motherboard cool or your pc will shut down.

 

buty with that cpu you might overclock slightly. just check the vrm temps

Because a VRM dying can kill not just the board but also the CPU, RAM and so on.

GPU to and other PCI-E devices tough drives often survive...

alright, duly noted. no overclock.

Great price. Grab it now!

 

1070Ti shouldn't be bottlenecked by a 1500x. It's a fine combo.

What do you have now?

 

I'd say the Ryzen 5 1500X compares to the older Intel i7-s from the Sandy and Ivy bridge platforms (the i7 2600, 3770) up to i7 Haswell (i7 4770).

Modern CPU-s like the Ryzen 5 2400G and 3400G feature about the same CPU performance.

Due to having SMT, it's a better choice than the Intel i3 8100/9100 or the older i5-s like the 4670, 5670, 6400, 7400, etc. Although, those i5-s can have a few frames more in most, especially older, games.

It's weaker than the modern Ryzen 3 3100 or 3300X, Core i3 10100 not to mention the modern i5-s and i7-s or the 6-core Ryzens.

i dont really have a PC yet but i do have a decent entry gaming laptop.

it's an i7 6700hq + 1060 3gb. it's absolutely fine for e-sport titles and i even triple A's like destiny and bf 1 on low-medium setting.

it's absolutely noisy, and thermal is absolute garbage (i know laptop is design to handle that but my palm is burning).

 

i havent said this but im looking for value. my original plan was to go a cheap b550 + 3300x for a bit a future proofing. but my friends price is just really hard to argue, especially since i know the condition that its in and it could be upgraded to 3600 at some point later, which is another cpu that im considering in my original plan. 

i dont mind missing a few bells and whistles as i still see them as first world problem things that i haven't need to worry about yet.
