b450 for budget and b550 and above if you have extra money. I have b450 aorus elite and its amazing so far

MSI B550-a pro is one of the best am4 boards

oh i did confuse it for the similarly named b550 counterpart

atx is more capable, but most of the time matx is cheaper

#

it really just depends on what you're looking for

#

most of the time it doesnt really matter

#

...unless you're running 4 dimms, bc some matx boards only have 2 dimm slots

#

so its really up to you

well given how multi gpu is dead and sound cards / network cards aren't a thing anymore unless you're doing really specialised work it probably doesn't matter

wheat pebble
#

it also does have a 1x slot that you could put an extra expansion card in if you needed to

#

only thing is its b450 so it's not really gonna be the best am4 board

wheat pebble
#

it's not really that big of a difference

#

it'll hold you back if you have a 4060 ti because they only have 8 pcie lanes and most b450 boards run at pcie gen 3

#

but for 6600 level of performance and below or for any gpu with all 16 lanes you're all good

#

the rx 580 doesn't even support gen 4 anyway

#

it's a board that works
