You're looking for an affordable yet reliable motherboard compatible with your Intel i5 3470. The best and cheapest ATX options include the ASUS ROG Strix B550M or the MSI MEG AORO, both offering solid performance at a reasonable price.

Because new boards aren’t available, you rely on second-hand options. There are certain top choices available, though securing them may be difficult. What alternatives do you have?

I need something capable of running simple games using USB 3.0, and I’m okay with used options since I’m on a tight budget.
