Which B550 motherboard should I buy?

My budget is $1000 (₹75000). My priority is gaming. I am also an tech enthusiast so I want the latest features and cool VRMs and chipset and support for overclocking. I don't want many ports or slots so I recommend a Micro ATX so l can save some money for a better graphics card.

And I am planning to pair a RYZEN 3600 with RTX 2060 or 2060 super in this build, will there be any bottlenecking in system?

Can you share the rest of your parts list? It would be nice to know how much your motherboard should cost in the context of the rest of the system. In the meantime, here are a couple options that have good features and good VRMs:

Main PC:

AMD Ryzen 7 5800X • Noctua NH-D15 • MSI MAG B550 Tomahawk • 2x8GB G.skill Trident Z Neo 3600MHz CL16 • MSI VENTUS 3X GeForce RTX 3070 OC • Samsung 970 Evo 1TB • Samsung 860 Evo 1TB • Cosair iCUE 465X RGB • Corsair RMx 750W (White)

 

Peripherals/Other:

ASUS VG27AQ • G PRO K/DA • G502 Hero K/DA • G733 K/DA • G840 K/DA • Oculus Quest 2 • Nintendo Switch (Rev. 2)

 

Laptop (Dell XPS 13):

Intel Core i7-1195G7 • Intel Iris Xe Graphics • 16GB LPDDR4x 4267MHz • 512GB M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD • 13.4" OLED 3.5K InfinityEdge Display (3456x2160, 400nit, touch). 

 

Got any questions about my system or peripherals? Feel free to tag me (@bellabichon) and I'll be happy to give you my two cents. 

 

PSA: Posting a PCPartPicker list with no explanation isn't helpful for first-time builders :)

No, a 3600 is more than capable for a 2060. Here's a helpful thread about motherboard quality.

B550 Mortar (only 5 usb ports at the back, better VRM) or B550 TUF
