What's the optimal motherboard to go with a ryzen 5 2600x

[AngryRon96]

Hey peeps, planning to get a ryzen 5 2600x in the near future and am thinking on what motherboard would fit best. Currently I'm sticking yo the gigabyte b450 auros Pro for budget purposes but I am willing to break the bank alittle

 

Thanks in advance

you grab a regular r5 2600 and a B450 tomahawk and grab a aftermarket cooler like an Dark rock 4 and overclock.

what is your budget and what is the rest of the buid?

The x470 Aorus ultra gaming has been very satisfying thus far, and also has a few variants, with the gaming 5 and 7

My 2600 and B450 Tomahawk will be in this week, I'll let you know how it goes.

Currently my budget sits round $900 (round RM4,000 *ye my currency sucks*) 

 

The parts I'm planning to get r as listed below

 

Thinking if a ryzen 5 2600 will fit in there nice... Hahahaha. 

 

On a side note, r gpu/cpus prices super inflated right now???

the 2600x and 2600 aren't inflated right now. Depending on what card you get and where, it might be higher, lower, or right at MSRP. The b450 tomahawk is a great board, but  @fasauceome 's suggestions are good if you have some extra $$

you can just use pcpartpicker instead

b450 tomahawk is the way to go.

I would suggest the following

2600 or 2600x depending on the difference in price

The aorus isn't a bad board, but take a look into the msi tomahawk and asrock pro4. Look which one is cheaper: 1060 or rx 580 as they perform about the same

Try to get 3000+ mhz ram

A little cheaper ssd is fine too

Get a cooler like the artic freezer 33 esports if you want to overclock, if not use the stock one

The case is okay, but nothing exeptional
