I am in need of Motherboard options

[BennoMensch]

Budget (including currency): 1300$

Country: Austria

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: New AAA like CP2077

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): https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/p8XRWb

 

I was planing to build my own PC (see parts list).

However the Motherboard 'Gigabyte B550M Aorus PRO' is not available where I live right now. Is there a similar Motherboard I can get?

It is important for me that the Ryzen 3600 works without a Bios update.

MSI B550 Tomahawk.

The mATX B550M Aorus Pro really isn't a great board, so good thing it wasn't in stock for you to get it really lol.

I'd look for a B550 Aorus Pro (ATX, not mATX), B550 Gaming Edge WIFI, B550 Tomahawk or Strix B550-F.

 

I also slightly improved some of the parts selected for your build:

 

PCPartPicker Part List: https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/FbWrFG

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 3.6 GHz 6-Core Processor  (€165.00 @ Amazon Deutschland) 
Motherboard: MSI MAG B550 TOMAHAWK ATX AM4 Motherboard  (€179.99 @ Amazon Deutschland) 
Memory: Patriot Viper Steel 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3600 CL17 Memory  (€76.69 @ Alternate) 
Storage: Silicon Power A80 512 GB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive  (€84.87 @ Amazon Deutschland) 
Video Card: Gigabyte GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER 8 GB WINDFORCE OC 3X Video Card  (€521.99 @ Mindfactory) 
Case: Fractal Design Meshify C ATX Mid Tower Case  (€87.72 @ Amazon Deutschland) 
Power Supply: Corsair RMx (2018) 550 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply  (€106.26 @ ARLT) 
Case Fan: be quiet! SilentWings 3 PWM High-Speed 77.57 CFM 140 mm Fan  (€21.19 @ Aquatuning) 
Case Fan: be quiet! SilentWings 3 PWM High-Speed 77.57 CFM 140 mm Fan  (€21.19 @ Aquatuning) 
Total: €1264.90

 

Faster memory, cheaper and similarly performing SSD, higher quality PSU and a couple of high quality 140mm fans since the Meshify C really needs these to get its full cooling potential (I'd suggest mounting these in the front as intakes, with the two included fans that come with the case as exhausts in the rear and top).

I would HIGHLY recommend waiting for next gen Nvidia GPU's to launch. But if you do not want to wait and can stretch the budget a bit:

Is a 550 W PSU enough?

It's more than enough.

A system with a 3600 and 2070 Super won't pull more than around 300-325W at full 100% load, and gaming the power draw will be even lower than that.

Do you mean I should buy a next gen Nvidia GPU?

Or do you mean the 20s will drop in price?

Did you find a review? I searched for one but didn't find anything.

The VRMs on it aren't much better than on their B450 boards. For a 3950X I really wouldn't try using it.

Wait for next gen, Nvidia never really drops current gen pricing prior to a launch. They simply stop manufacturing and then stock dries up with little left when a new generation launches.

Yes as long as it is a quality unit 550W is plenty.
