Considering your setup for gaming and light editing tasks like Valorant montages, you're looking at a Ryzen 5600 paired with an Asus TUF Gaming B450M-Plus II or a Core 12400f with MSI Pro B660M-A DDR4.

Option B supports PCIe Gen 4, while the first motherboard does not.

im not going to use gen 4 nvme anyways so doesnt matter imo, also this is a "budget" build im going to pair it with gt 1030 since its enough for val and buy gpu with nvenc when prices go down so recording while playing wont take much fps when playing cs/val

matched with the 1030, then pick A most suitable OR option B if you intend to upgrade your GPU later. It's always good to keep the newest models, giving you ample space for future upgrades and generally fewer issues. The 1030 uses PCIe Gen 4 as well, not just an M.2 slot.

I’ll choose B since it’s around $4, supports Gen 4, and you won’t need to change BIOS settings to switch to Gen 4 PCIe. It should work fine without any BIOS adjustments.

Usually, the BIOS OCEL lanes are configured as "auto." However, in my recent setup I overlooked something that led to unexpected freezes and black screens. My 3060 Ti uses PCIe Gen 4, and the motherboard supports it. The vertical GPU mount came with a PCIe Gen 3 riser cable, but after some investigation, the manufacturer advises adjusting the BIOS settings to switch lanes for Gen 3 GPUs to function correctly. I followed that recommendation and have since experienced those issues again. Additionally, using a PCIe Gen 4 riser cable helped improve my gaming performance. I already have a Gen 3 riser cable, but the 1650 is also likely Gen 3—still, it might be wise to update the BIOS just in case.

Can I access the BIOS without switching the PCIe generation from 4 to 3? Since 12400f lacks an IGPU, I might need to ask a friend for a GPU if it doesn’t work, as 1650 only supports generation 3.

It works fine with the card for getting into BIOS. No issues until I installed Windows and started using the PC; it was a simple fix and mostly just a minor mistake. Glad it was a riser cable—no need to return my brand new card, which I already had planned. Just remember this when setting up, and if you want to run the PC without changing BIOS settings, give it a shot! In the worst case, you could face the same problem I did: restart the PC, enter BIOS, and change "PCIE MAX LINK SPEED" to gen 3. Like I mentioned, it should be set to AUTO by default. Most people

In the MSI BIOS, locating PCIE settings proved difficult. I simply entered "PCIE" into the search bar, and the relevant options appeared instantly.
