Motherboard TB350-BTC
Consider purchasing the TB350-BTC motherboard now. You recently upgraded from your old setup, so getting a fresh board makes sense. Ordering it today could be a smart move. For a reliable CPU that works well with this board, look for an affordable option like the Intel Core i3 or AMD Ryzen 3 series.
Avoid buying motherboards meant for mining. They usually have poor BIOS, limited CPU options, and inadequate VRMs. They’re built assuming you’ll use the cheapest CPU and prioritize graphics, which means VRMs won’t be reliable and may lack heatsinks. Fast CPUs might throttle due to overheating issues.
I think around 30 to 40 dollars would be a good starting point. I’m not sure of the exact price, but I’d prefer to begin with something affordable and upgrade later. It seems I can’t locate any Ryzen CPUs cheap nearby, so if there are other processors available for that board at a lower cost, I’d really appreciate it. If you have any Ryzen options, I’d recommend them.
He’s offering the board at a very low price because it’s brand new.
For the board? That'll be tough for the CPU, a 1200AF should cost about 50 bucks and is a solid chip (it's basically a 3200G without the APU side). Regarding the board, there are excellent options around 70 bucks like the B450 Pro 4. A more budget-friendly choice for a 1200AF is the DS3H.
