You're facing a common dilemma when choosing between an SSD and a motherboard. It seems flexible options exist, but many experts suggest pairing them for optimal performance. Consider getting a solid SSD around 120GB and a motherboard under 150W to balance speed and power efficiency.
You might want an X570 for better NVMe performance, though it doesn’t guarantee significant speed gains.
What processor are you thinking of purchasing? The WD SN550 SSD offers solid performance now, and a 500 GB unit works well for booting or operating systems—possibly upgrading to 1 TB for around $120. For the motherboard, if you choose an AM4 socket, consider MSI's models like B450-A Pro, B450 Gaming Plus, B450M Gaming Plus, B450M Mortar, and B450 Tomohawk.
