Hey, you're thinking about getting the B550 Tomahawk Mag because of its VRMs and the price of £149.99. But lately, most X570 and B550 boards are getting cheaper. You're planning to use a 3070 or 3080 with it. Are there other options in your budget that might be better for your money? Thanks for asking, stay safe!
You recently bought an ROG Strix B550 open box for around $160. After taxes and shipping, the total came to $171. The seller mentioned it might not include all items, but it did contain everything in the box. I believe I was let down by missing some stickers, and overall I’m happy with the purchase.
Currently connected via Wi-Fi, but when relocating I’ll switch to Ethernet. I’m okay with purchasing a PCIe adapter unless it’s inferior to the built-in option. For powering, I intend to use an external source as well, including power for both the CPU and GPU.
