Can finally move on and upgrade from 2600x.
Not looking to break the bank and prefer to stay with AMD, going with the 5600x.

In your opinion, what would be the best mobo (white in color if possible) in the 200$ tops range to pair with?

Appreciate your responses!

Gigabyte B550 Vision are white. However, they're over your budget, with roughly costing $300. I'm not sure if this is because of low availability or other reasons. It just seems weird a B550 chipset costs that much.

Gigabyte also released their updated X570 chipset, calling it X570S. There's the X570S Aero, but I couldn't find the MSRP because it's relatively new.

Asus is probably your best option with the Prime B550 Plus and it's within your budget. However, unlike the Gigabyte models, it has no WiFi/Bluetooth. You'll need a separate card to install, especially if you're planning to use Bluetooth.

Lastly, somewhere in between Gigabyte and Asus is NZXT N7 B550. It's a little bit over your budget but not as costly as the Gigabyte models. It also has the WiFi/Bluetooth built in.

MSI does have one but it's a micro ATX form factor and I'm not a fan of micro ATX. It's the B550M Mortar.

Gotcha, appreciate the response bud.

Which mobo did you use on 2600x

I'm using the Asus Rog Strix B450-F.
I know it have the bios updated and accept the 5800x if i'm not mistaken, i'm just sketch about doing it and bricking shit.
I did it once already cause I though I wanted the 3600 but decided against. But that was back in 2019.


On second thought fuck it i'll give it a shot. Plenty of guides and I have the thumbdrive so i'll give that a try first.

It’s very easy

And that’s a good mobo

Yeah I really didn't want to buy a new one anyway, just didn't want to re-flash the bios again, but I remember it taking all of like 15 minutes so might as well give'er a shot.
