On the Search

[zcalpey]

I am on the search for a motherboard for my build. I have been thinking about the MSI B350M Gaming Pro but am not sure if that is the right choice for my build. I also want to get a board for >70 USD but would consider spending more if the motherboard was worth it. I would love to have a motherboard that meets all/most of my goals and is compatible with my build:

• 2 or more DDR4 Memory Slots
• AMD Ryzen 5 1600 compatability
• mATX or ATX
• RGB header

Notes:

• I will be running 2 x 8GB sticks of RAM. I may or may not upgrade to two more in the future (also depends if there is space)
• I will likely not be overclocking anything so that is not a concern, but please
• I will mostly be using this CPU for gaming and homework (nothing much)
• I am not planning on running more than one GPU, so I do not need SLI compatability or even an extra PCIe slot for a second GPU
• My build (in case it helps): https://pcpartpicker.com/list/MW7QGG

I have the ATX version of this board, it's a really good board.

before August second on Newegg then you can enter promo code: MSJULY15

this will bump off I believe 11.50, bringing the price down to $68.49, then you can do the rebate for $15.00 bringing the total cost to $53.50 (though the $15 will be in a card)
