Hi, I’m looking to upgrade soon with an AMD Ryzen 9 3900X and need a suitable motherboard under $300. Also, what RAM options are available in that price range? Thanks!

It's not required for all Ryzen 3000 CPUs, but choosing a high-end X570 with a Ryzen 9 would be wise.

you should anticipate performance up to roughly 3600-3733mhz with the XMP rating. if you plan to invest around 300$ in a board, check out the Unify—it's a superior Taichi board and was once the top choice for that price. https://pcpartpicker.com/product/9t7p99/...x570-unify. alternatively, consider a more affordable X570 model like the Prime P or a solid B450 board.

Choose RAM speeds between 3600MHz and 4000MHz. Experiment with various combinations of memory frequency and data rate in a 1:2 ratio to discover the limits.
