Hello, with your setup of 3500x and 16GB DDR4 3200MHz RAM, you're in a solid configuration. ASUS is indeed pricier, but your system should perform well. Consider your budget and needs—if you want the latest features and better performance, go with ASUS. Otherwise, a reputable brand like MSI or Gigabyte could be a great alternative.
Sell the 3500 model, purchase a 5500. The rest of your funds can be allocated toward a board. A used model from B3 priced around $50-70 should fit mid-range options like Pro4 or Tomahawk. Also, let me know your country for more tailored advice.
I plan to upgrade to 5600, just checking if those mobos are suitable. UAE, Abu Dhabi – no good deals on mid-range B450s found.
It seems like you're starting a message. Could you clarify what you'd like to continue with?
You'd encounter compatibility issues since these B550s are marketed for 5000-series chips, not the 5600. Choosing a B450 would be more suitable for your needs.
