Consider Ryzen 5 5600G and look into affordable motherboards under $200. Check brands like ASUS, MSI, or Gigabyte for good options.

For less than $200, the MSI B550 Tomahawk stands out. For an even more budget-friendly option (without major compromises), the MSI B550-A Pro offers solid performance under $150 US.

I own the 5 5600G and an RX 6600 XT built on a Gigabyte B450 under $150, offering solid value overall.

It requires a BIOS update for the 5600g, but there’s no BIOS Flashback option. If the buyer doesn’t own an older AMD CPU, they should bring it to a shop for BIOS updates.

It came out of the box perfectly with the 5600g, though I’m not an expert, so you might want to double-check.

I hadn't noticed they were refreshing updates from the factory for Zen 3.

It seems the update worked as expected. Some articles suggest compatibility, possibly indicating updates occurred without an official announcement.
