If you're looking for a ATX home for a Ryzen 5000 processor, the MSI MPG B550 Gaming Edge WiFi motherboard makes a good fit, and now it's only $149 for Cyber Monday, a savings of $40 over the normal MSRP.
As we noted in our recent review of the Mini ITX model, the compact black-themed Gaming Edge Wi-Fi gives you nearly everything you'd expect in a B550 motherboard, but it dispenses with the RGB frills as a cost-saving measure. It does support RGB accessories, though, if you choose to upgrade to a brighter look in the future.
The lack of RGB is offset by a capable 8-phase 60A power delivery subsystem, and the board also features active cooling for the chipset and M.2 socket. Perhaps most importantly, the board boasts Intel's AX2000 Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax, Mu-MIMO), so you have a speedy connection option even if you don't go the wired route.
You also get plenty of other connectivity options, including an HDMI port for video, six USB ports (USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A/C, 2x USB 3.2 Gen1, and 2x USB 2.0), and a 5-plug analog and SPDIF output.
If you're looking to overclock, MSI also touts that the board supports up to DDR4-4600+ speeds. We found the board to be a capable overclocker, even with the 12-core Ryzen 9 3900X test chip.
Our main reservations with this motherboard centered around its pricing in a competitive market, but this discount goes a long way to remove those concerns.
