Hi! I recently purchased a Ryzen 3600 CPU and am considering getting a motherboard. The B450 is priced at $93 without warranty, while the B550 is $163 with warranty. I also have an X570 processor and plan to upgrade to Ryzen 4600 or 4700 in the future, possibly adding a new graphics card. I’m curious if the B550 AORUS Elite is worth it—did you see it as the best entry-level option? My goal is to buy the B550 if it offers better value, especially if the new CPUs don’t meet my performance needs.

The B550 Elite is an MATX model, while the ATX variant would typically be a different form factor.

The B550 Aorus Elite performs well when considering the ATX variant. The B550M Mortar also fits that price range. Both options offer better upgrade potential than the B450 Gaming Plus Max, especially for higher core count processors.

I don't have mortar in my country and a tomahawk costs $232.

cuz ATX version is decent, mATX version is terrible, for that kind of money Any other B550 options? Out of these two I wouldnt mind recommend spending extra for B550 (after all you're aiming to get Ryzen 7), but it's not a great deal either.

Which other MBS options do you think would work well for your needs? I'm using my PC for browsing, gaming, streaming, learning Linux, virtualization, and online poker.

These Asrock Extreme4, Steel Legend and Velocita boards are all good choices for the B550 platform.
