I'm currently building a pc. My question is, what is the best motherboard for ryzen 5 1600 in terms of game perfomance. Btw I'm putting a gtx 1080 ti AMP extreme edition with it. My current choice is MSI ATX DDR4 AM4 AMD X370 (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XNYR69Q/ref=crt_ewc_title_gw_4?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER) I don't care about SLi, i need the best motherboard for $175 or less. Thank you.

P.S. Don't tell me that that motherboard is SLi i know that.

Just read the reviews on various boards in your price range and make an informed decision. They're all gonna be about the same if you're just throwing a GPU in there and maybe an NVMe SSD and just gaming.

I'm personally an ASRock guy and you'll find better power phases on their boards many times vs competitors which can stabilize an overclock.

Thats a great board, but for the R5 I would sat B350 would be enough, not much performance difference. The B350 Fatal1ty is also very good for overclocking..

there are cheap mobos today you could find below $100 and there actually are a few to start with. ATX MSI B350 Tomahawk AM4 Motherboard, ASUS PRIME B350-Plus ATX AM4, are a few to start. I found this link to be helpful when it comes to choosing the best one for ryzen 5 1600. http://computertechnologygeek.com/best-motherboard-for-ryzen-5-1600/
