CPU compatible with ROG Strix B450-I Gaming Mini ITX AM4 unit
Hi! I got the ROG Strix B450-I Gaming Mini ITX AM4 board for your son. The CPU you're considering should handle gaming well, especially with a 100W power supply. A solid choice would be an Intel Core i5 or i7, or a Ryzen 5 or 7 depending on your budget and needs. Make sure it matches the motherboard's specifications.
The board is compatible with all Ryzen chips. Keep in mind any BIOS updates when buying. It was built for 2700X or less, but newer models work with suitable BIOS. In short, it can handle a 5600X or higher. I might have missed some details. A $100 CPU? That’s fine if you need maximum threads. Prices for the 2600 (non-X) aren’t clear yet.
Checking the price on YouTube, the AMD Ryzen 3 3300X isn’t available for sale in the UK right now.
