Looking for affordable B450 or X570 mainboards in ITX size?
Hey, from the title it seems you're searching for an affordable AM4 motherboard, preferably a B450 or X570 model. You mentioned you don’t want to part with your old R7 2700, which is still usable, and you’re moving to the Fractal Design Node 304 but only have a MATX available. You’re looking for options under 200€/$ and any suggestions would be appreciated. Casper...
Why not a B550 motherboard?? For being under $200, here's an option and there's an MSI B550 ITX but it's at the upper limit of your budget at $199.99. https://pcpartpicker.com/product/9pn8TW/...rus-pro-ax MSI motherboard: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/BCddnQ/...e-max-wifi Mistakes were made, refer to next post.

The plan exists to explain why we chose this model instead of the B550...
The X570 chipset isn't necessary here—it would be too much for the 2700X and miss out on many X570 features. A B450 motherboard is a better choice, especially since it simplifies things compared to AMD chipsets and CPU compatibility with Intel boards. For your setup, the MSI B450I Gaming Plus Max WiFi is a solid option.
