Which One?
Looking for a new motherboard that fits the 5000 series Ryzen, with USB-C and multiple RGB headers under $250. Anyone have suggestions?
You're seeking details about a system priced around 250U$D, with a current Amazon listing at 130U$D that includes all your requirements. The USB C header is intended for front I/O, so the case needs mid-range support, and you're aiming to stay within the 5000 series. What are your intended uses for it? Are you planning to boost performance? Which CPU models from the 5000 series are you considering?
Hardware Unboxed created an excellent comparison of B550 and X570 motherboards, especially those that come with 5000 series Ryzen chips. I suggest checking it out. For other options, ASUS boards offer the best BIOS GUI for overclocking, though I’m not certain about USB C availability without further research. MSI models generally include USB-C for front I/O.
You intend to increase the size of the machine by 5600x in the future.
Explore Craigslist and eBay for many people trying to sell old motherboards at reduced costs. They’re often dealing with leftover Newegg bundles for GPUs. I’ve seen this firsthand.
