Since the 5500 is very similar in performance to a Ryzen 5 3600, I would suggest looking at a used Ryzen 5 3600 on eBay or something, could save some money.

 

With the money saved, you might opt to get a full ATX motherboard with some more features, possibly even with built in wifi

Make sure that RAM is one of the supported memory models for the motherboard...it''s on the motherboard's website under "support." Better chance the XMP profile will work than if you use a model not on that list - afaik.

 

       XMP is an overclock of the memory to make it go faster - however it's become so commonplace that when you buy RAM, the advertised speed is with an XMP profile they've loaded onto the memory. I.E. it won't reach that speed unless you tell it to overclock - which is very simple but overclocking can be a gamble on how well the product  was manufactured. Better to play it safe and buy a model that was tested on the motherboard, so you know when you turn XMP on it should run like normal and fine

 

I took a quick glance at that large spreadsheet, and I tried to ctrl-F the model and it didn't come up. But you might double check more thoroughly

 

You're also buying an expensive m.2, but it's only pcie 3.0 when you have 4.0 slots. Not a huge deal, plenty fast. But might as well get the pcie 4.0 right?

I don't know if I can or can't give you specific links but there are much cheaper ways to get windows

no. At this rock bottom budget i can realistically only recommend Corsair CV line, Thermaltake GX Gold, or MSI A-BN line.

QVL is largely irrelevant after like 1-2 years of a platform launch because by then the profile should be easily recognizable on each stick and run stable. It largely doesn't matter in AM4 now, I've run T-Create Expert on XMP on 4 stick configuration for a while now and its been very stable.

Would you mind explaining more? I have some 3200Mhz ram (obviously only 3200 w/ XMP enabled) but cannot get it to work with my AM4 platform - the only thing I can guess prior to giving up and claiming silicon lottery is that it's because the specific memory modules aren't listed as confirmed to work with the motherboard.

 

Seems highly unlucky I couldn't get an XMP profile to run on two different platforms now, as my old x99 couldn't achieve a normal XMP profile either.

Specific RAM models?

BIOS version? Board model?

 

But really D.O.C.P can be pretty laughable at times, and XMP being poor at X99 is kinda expected.

I purchased the microcenter bundle

 

Ram: F4-3200C16D-16GVKB

 

Mobo: ASUS TUF Gaming B550 Plus WiFi II

      BIOS: 3404 (Newest, as I thought updating might fix the issue)

 

Curious to see what you say, I just game so I dont think 2133 -> 3200 will be noticeable, just an annoying issue that I think I shouldnt have.
