You're considering two options for your PC upgrade: Gigabyte Aorus B450 Elite or MSI B450-A Pro Max, both priced similarly in Greece. You'll also be adding a Ryzen 5 2600 CPU, 8GB RAM at 3200MHz (2x4), and an existing MSI GTX 1050 2GB graphics card. Which one suits you better?

MSI offers superior VRMs for future upgrades. If you're looking for an MSI B450 Mortar, it matches the VRM count of the A Pro Max and is often more affordable with two M.2 ports.

For optimal performance, consider upgrading the CPU later. This model should work smoothly with a stock 3900X without any problems.

I would install the MSI I own, and for motherboards and PCBs they really don’t play around.
