I'm switching from an Asrock A320 m-ATX and searching for another x16 slot, AM4, with overclocking options. My budget is about $100, but I’m okay spending a bit more for better quality. The Asrock B450 steel legend board caught my eye.

Country? CPU? Memory specs (such as 2x8 or 4x8)? You can purchase refurbished B3/450 like the steel legend or tomahawk models for around $50 to $70 used.

In total there are 245 US dollars. The price increased by 30 dollars. You can upgrade to the LGA1700 model. This should boost performance for productivity and gaming, though it might affect titles like Rainbow 6 Siege, Microsoft Flight Simulator, Assetto Corsa, F1, and Forza games. PCPartPicker lists a CPU (Intel Core i5-12600KF) at 3.7 GHz with 10 cores for $155.99 on Newegg, and an ASRock H670 motherboard at $119.99. The combined cost is $275.98, including shipping, taxes, and any available discounts. This information was generated by PCPartPicker on August 9, 2023.

Ironically these are the games I enjoy—Rainbow 6, the Forza series, and Formula 1.
