Hello, your Asus TUF B450M-PRO gaming setup includes an R7 3800X, Noctua NH-D15, and Corsair 3000MHz RAM. The motherboard is ASUS ROG Strix B450M PRO, which supports Ryzen 5000 processors. AM4 is available, not AM5 at the moment. I previously used it with an R5 2600X during purchase.
Thank you for your question. I'm curious about getting a new board—what options are available to you?
I notice a distinction between PCIe 3 and 4. Your board supports two M.2 slots, so you should check compatibility with the SSD model you're considering.
They mentioned PCI4 offers quicker SSDs and better bandwidth for GPUs and other PCI devices. You likely won’t notice this in everyday gaming, but moving large files between SSDs might matter. The upcoming GPUs may require PCI4 for optimal performance, though I’m not sure yet. I’ll find out later this week when they release the new ones.
