When it comes to the motherboard, for AMD I recommend the Gigabyte A520M AORUS Elite. For Intel, opt for the ASRock B365M Pro4 Micro ATX LGA1151.
The gap is around 3600 units, but the 3600 that isn’t X is almost identical, just with a marginally improved stock version the X includes.
Absolutely, the X offers similar performance to the non-X version, but it provides a better AMD solution compared to Intel in this scenario.
This versatile device handles gaming well. I might explore graphic design but not too deeply. The price gap is $277.49 for AMD versus $199.99 for Intel. You'd likely need a cooler with the Intel, adding roughly $35 to $40.
