Just got it in hand, I'm thrilled! I'd love to capture this feeling. Once everything is set, I'll share it here too. This looks like a top pick among current motherboards—what are your thoughts?

When it comes to Buildzoid approved items, they’re generally a solid option. Just make sure not to combine them with a 3200G, and you’ll have a great setup! Your new PC is in good hands.

They acted swiftly in releasing this board, which is a significant improvement over MSI’s previous offerings under $250 (or the Unify’s pricing). It’s encouraging to see them finally reaching customers. Enjoy your upgraded setup!

Good luck with the project! Update the bios to the newest version. The initial bios for the x570 aren't very strong, particularly regarding XMP and DPC.

Next on the wish list is 32GB of RAM and 2* 500GB M.2 drives which I want to run in RAID, after that it's just the 3900X(may possibly wait for the 3900XT), I'll then use my current GPU until the 3000 series comes out... Thanks for the advice on bios I will certainly try to get the latest one and cant wait to take some build pictures in couple of weeks when it's done, have got the Lian Li alpha 550 here, 4 glass panels so going hard on the RGB, may get a RGB SSD just to light up the backside of the case

I purchased the same board and quickly learned from online horror tales about support issues. My experience turned into a nightmare when I had to send it to MSi for repair. After everything, I decided to buy an Aorus Master X570 yesterday—anything to avoid MSi. At first, I thought I made a smart choice until I faced numerous problems. First, the rear audio ports didn’t work, then the motherboard clashed with my Lian li RGB software, and it took nine months to realize I’d made a huge mistake by buying the Tomahawk X570. I have plenty to say about this company, its staff, and their handling of situations, but I’m not wasting time repeating what’s already been discussed on Reddit. I believed those problems wouldn’t happen to me. This was the worst purchase I ever made, especially as my first build. The disappointment and shame I feel are like losing my virginity to a prostitute.
