Check AMD Ryzen 3700x support for various motherboards and systems.
Hello everyone! I'm working on a budget build between $1,300 and $1,500. Usually I go with Intel, but with the recent updates to their 10th gen chips, I'm considering AMD Ryzen 3700X for better value. I often run into compatibility issues when looking for B450 motherboards, so any advice or suggestions would be really helpful. I also want to keep things simple and stick to familiar brands like Asus MOBO/GPU or Gigabyte MOBO/GPU. Thanks for your input!
MSI offers solid options for your needs. They produce quality B450 and x570 models, plus well-tested video cards. A 3700x+a 450 tomahawk, mortar, or a-pro should suffice unless you prefer a top-mounted design. For an x570 build, any MSI model from their lineup works well, though the most affordable one (around $150-$170 with red finish) has received mixed reviews. If you're targeting an x570, consider the cheaper variant—just remember it’s been heavily criticized by many reviewers. Alternatively, a MSI z trio 2070S or 2080S will likely perform adequately, unless budget is tight. Opt for an MSI-spec 5700xt if possible (under $430 USD), otherwise go with a compatible 5700 series card.
PCPartPicker list includes a CPU, motherboard, memory, storage, graphics card, case, power supply, and all components totaling approximately $696.92. Prices reflect current listings with shipping and taxes applied. The GPU estimate is around $500, the PSU about $100, bringing the overall cost near $1500.
The GPU needs to cost around $500 USD. The case must be a Phanteks p400a with an extra fan; otherwise it’s a very strong build. Adjust accordingly if aiming for a $1300 setup, or upgrade to the 2080S for $1500. @DelTacoBoi
Sorry about that, I estimated based on what I remember. The correct amount was around 700 to 800 in my local currency.
