Hi. Im gonna be doing a low budget ryzen build for a friend using the ryzen 2400g APU which is plenty for his needs (league, dota, maybe fortnite). I was thinking of using the Asrock AB350M which is going for a good price where i live, but im not sure if its gonna be compatible with the second generation ryzen cpus out of the box. Sadly i dont have a spare Gen1 ryzen to use while im updating to a newer bios which i know supports the ryzen2 APUs and im not sure how to find out if this specific motherboard comes with a bios version that supports it. So, im in need of a list of A320 or B350 chipset motherboards that were launched with native ryzen2 support, if you guys have one. I dont mind going with the A320 chipset since my friend aint tech savvy and even if i dont overclock the processor its enough for his needs, but having the b350 option is nice too. Thanks in advance!

Then you will either have to get a 470 motherboard or wait. Those are the choices at the end of April 2018. All of the 3xx motherboard have some risk of not having a BIOS that is compatible. If you buy from a local store, you may be able to get them to use a compatible CPU to flash the BIOS prior to you taking it home.
