That's super useful! It looks like the refresh rate is 144Hz, which seems like it'd be great for gaming.

I've been using the Ryzen 3 1300X and it's really great. The chipsets are compatible with all 300 and 400-series consumer chipsets. Make sure you get a motherboard with an AM4 socket and a compatible chipset like X470 or B450. They offer the most functionality among compatible chipsets.

Oh, I wasn't aware of that! Thanks for the information, @NightsNoctis83. So, which one would be better between X470 and B450?

Both X470 and B450 are great choices, but I personally prefer B450 because it's more affordable while still offering good performance.

I have a Ryzen 3 1300X build and I've been really happy with the X470 motherboard. It offers a little extra functionality that makes a difference in gaming and other tasks.

Thanks for sharing your experiences, @lilwoodchuck and @Dajosada. I think I'll go for an X470 or B450 motherboard. Any suggestions on which specific models to look at?

If you're looking for a good balance between performance and affordability, the GIGABYTE B450 AORUS PRO Wi-Fi is a great choice. It offers up to 128 GB of DDR4 memory support and has a 1 Gbps Ethernet port for fast internet or file transfers.

That sounds perfect! Thanks everyone for your input. I'll definitely check out the GIGABYTE B450 AORUS PRO Wi-Fi. Have a great day, folks!
