A motherboard suitable for ryzen 2nd gen 2600 cpu

[violent_keith]

Hi, hope someone can help. I'd selected a list of components to build a pc but now i've gone to buy it the motherboard has come in to queston . It has a lot of reviews saying the bios are out dated and it wont work with ryzen 5 2600, unless you boot it with a 1600 then update bios. To be honest this all means nothing to me, the motherboard is here

The next model up ,the 370, has similar issues i've read so not sure thats an option . I'll put links for the other parts in . Was looking to spend about 100 on mboard but could spend a little more . The pc is for my son, building it for him for xmas,mostly for gaming.

I already have a hard drive and power supply, 500 watt evga 80+ from a 3 years ago or so from my last pc.

any help would be very much apprerciated ,the technical side of computers confuses me a lot so if I just choose another board myself i'm bound to get it wrong lol

IF you plan to get the Ryzen 5 2600 you should Really look at getting the 400 series boards instead of the 300.. they offer more features and are overall better and normally NOT much more.. Get an B450 now instead of the older B350 (I personally like Asus and ASRock boards and had very good luck with both though normally I go with ASRock boards)

Edit: the Ryzen CPUs really like to have 3000+ ram.. yes more expensive but much better if you plan to game. so I would suggest you get better ram.
I would get the ASRock B450 PRO4 OR ASUS ROG STRIX B450-F OR ASRock Fatal1ty B450 GAMING K4 for the B450 boards.. IF you can swing it.. the X470 are better but more expensive..
for the X470 boards I would go with one of these: ASUS ROG Strix X470-F or ASUS Prime X470-Pro or ASRock X470 Master SLI/AC OR the ASRock X470 Taichi (this is the one I have but its a bit up there for sure)

Ok man,thanks. Sounds like you know what you're talking about . would these boards be ok

And they'd both work with ryzen 5 2600?

When you said 3000+ ram my first thought was 3000 GB??? then realised what you meant lol,thats how useless I am when it comes to technical info

 

[violent_keith]

Will this ram on the 3000 mhz option be ok with this board too. It is something i'd upgrade in the future but for now 8 gb will do him,got 2 other kids so cant get too lost in the build lol

This motherboard will be great for your needs:

As for RAM, yes, the one you posted above will work fine. Not sure what your budget is, but 8GB of memory is kinda basic amount for gaming today. If you can afford it, go for 2x8GB of 3000MHz memory instead.

Thanks,yeh maybe I will invest in 16 gb,mine suffers with only 8 and I think thats only 1 stick. The board on amazon I think is strictly for prime members ,I had a look at specs but can you please confirm this is the same board ?

[herrwizo]

Yes it is, it is called AsRock B450 Pro4.

Ok, thanks very much both of you, the lad would end up with a right potato if I had to choose these parts myself
