Looking up current prices for Gigabyte B450M S2H and Asrock B450M HDV. These boards are quite budget-friendly, and in my opinion, they offer a solid alternative even for older Athlon models. They shouldn't cost significantly more than typical A320 boards.
Sure, I understand. It would work well for an Athlon, but I think it's best to stick with it for longer than that due to minimal upgrade options.
