i plan on using the ryzen 2600 and when looking for a motherboard i came across the ASRock B450M Steel Legend. i had decided to use this motherboard for my first build. But when inquiring for a parts list i came across this mobo MSI B450M PRO-VDH MAX . So now the main question is which one should i go for? I should mention that the store that i plan on buying from has a mobo+cpu combo which for both mobos. this combo includes the ryzen 5 2600 and either one of those mobos i just mentioned. There's a price difference of $5 between the combos (msi is higher) so which one is the better deal? The MSI combo or The ASRock combo

Ascend Rock appears slightly bulkier during cooling, yet its BIOS is quite challenging. Unless you’re focusing on details like memory speeds or CPU overclocking, the impact isn’t significant.

The COMBO costs more than the CPU plus Motherboard on that page. MSI B450A Pro Max seems like a better option. You might also consider the Tomahawk Max.

MSI offers a more polished user interface compared to ASRock. You might also explore overclocking later, especially with adjusted memory timings to boost performance.

Using memory allows you to either boost its clock speed to raise bandwidth or reduce its CAS timings to cut latency. Generally, faster memory needs higher latencies to maintain stability. Overclocking often focuses on pushing memory clocks higher while minimizing CAS delays. Testing is necessary to understand the impact on your system and find the best balance between speed and responsiveness.

In general, the performance boost from upgrading memory is usually measured in percentage terms, though the exact improvement varies by system and workload.

It's difficult to generalize. Certain games react more to RAM speed than others. Below are two videos that evaluate this across multiple titles. They should provide a solid estimate of performance expectations. Memory size + Single vs Dual Channel RAM speed

In games such as GTA V, R6S and Modern Warfare, RAM timings might noticeably affect performance.

You're asking about the specific differences between MSI and ASRock BIOS interfaces, particularly focusing on the user interface. You also mention considering memory timing adjustments for potential overclocking.
