Buying tips
- B550 (Gigabyte B550M DS3H, MSI B550M-A PRO) is the better long-term choice if you plan to add a fast NVMe SSD later — it officially supports PCIe 4.0 speeds; B450 and A520 boards don’t.
- A520 boards (ASUS Prime, MSI A520M-A PRO, ASRock A520M-HVS) don’t support CPU overclocking — irrelevant for most Ryzen 5-class builds, since only the “X” and unlocked Ryzen chips actually overclock.
- All these boards use the AM4 socket, which supports everything from budget Ryzen 3 chips up to Ryzen 5000-series parts — check your specific CPU’s BIOS compatibility (a BIOS update may be needed for newer chips on older board revisions).
- If you want built-in WiFi to skip a separate adapter, the Gigabyte B550M DS3H AC and B450M DS3H WiFi are the two boards here that include it.
