Someone could suggest a solid motherboard compatible with the new B550 chipsets. WiFi and Bluetooth features are a plus. For an ASUS STRIX series board under £200, look for models like the STRIX XG or XD series that support Ryzen 5 3600.
The MSI X570 Tomahawk offers superior performance compared to the Asus at that price, though it remains difficult to obtain. I’d check the B550 pricing first. https://www.overclockers.co.uk/msi-mag-x...51-ms.html
The most affordable ASUS Strix X570 board, the X570-F, typically costs around 250 quid, which may not match your budget. I’d consider the MSI X570 Tomahawk or ASUS TUF X570-Plus instead. I’m not familiar with any B550 models from manufacturers, so I can’t really suggest anything with that chipset. Most boards look decent, but they’re not priced very competitively compared to their X570 versions.
I've noticed several issues with that board (the tomhawk), especially regarding the bios. The tuf x570 seems like a better choice. Edited June 16, 2020 by TofuHaroto
The board works well. I noticed a few issues, but they seem to be minor or resolved. Probably not related to the board itself.
