My schoolmate says it's time to upgrade his gaming pc (Intel i5 4670k). 

He plans to build an m-atx gaming rig, he's thinking of getting an ryzen r5 5600x, since it's just for gaming and schoolworks.

He has an budget of usd$170.00

Any suggestions for b550 m-atx boards? 

Thanks

from cheap (but still decent) to more expensive and better. any of these will be fine with a overclocked 5600x, and on a budget i'd recommend the cheapest. but maybe you schoolmate needs wifi, or cares about how the board looks:

 

ASRock B550M Pro4

you can get a lot of good boards for that price

in fact basically every B550 micro ATX board is within budget. Have a look at the tier list if you want to compare.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad
