I prefer the Ryzen 5 3600X. Deciding on a budget motherboard between the GIGABYTE A520M DS3H and GIGABYTE B450M DS3H depends on your needs. Consider the newer model for better performance, but check compatibility with your CPU.

They match nearly all specifications, making it a safe choice either way.

The B450 allows overclocking while A-series chipsets do not.

A520 supports QFLASH BIOS only with the same rest settings. B450 features a compact VRM heatsink too, and as noted earlier, it allows for light overclocking. If you're using a Ryzen 3000 series, consider the B550 motherboard for upcoming upgrades.
