I'm aiming for a budget-friendly ITX setup using the 5600x, and B550 models under 200€ are tough to find. I found the Biostar MB B550T-Silver for 174€. Is it worth it? I haven't bought anything from them before. Also, this build won't involve heavy overclocking. Thanks ahead!

Unless you require a GPU, skip the GPU and purchase an ASRock desktop mini barebones. Then install the CPU, included cooler, RAM, and storage.

It might not be particularly impressive, but it should function properly. A 5900x runs smoothly even on a relatively inexpensive x370 board. For the 5600x, almost any setup will work.

For a resolution of 5600x you require a GPU unless you plan to operate it as a server

There are options at 5600g and 5700g with igpu. If you use 5600, it's likely intended to run a GPU, but since 5600 isn't available, skip the x version.

The project uses a modest 1080p resolution and targets a mid-range GPU like the RX 6600 or RX 6600 XT based on available deals.

Search for the B450 or A520 models because you're not upgrading for lower prices

Biostar boards are suitable for stock or mild overclocking and should function well in this setup. I don’t really like Biostar, but if you’re not putting in a lot of effort, it’ll be fine.
