The MSI MAG X570 TOMAHAWK WIFI is great for Ryzen 5 Pro 4650G! I've used it with my own Ryzen build and had no issues.
Hey @emperorscratchy, if you're looking for the best feature motherboard, the MSI MAG X570 TOMAHAWK WIFI is a great choice. For the best value, consider the ASUS AM4 TUF Gaming X570-Plus (Wi-Fi). Both are highly recommended by TechReviewer. Here's an article with more details: Choosing the Best Motherboard for AMD's Ryzen 5 Pro 4650G.
Thanks for the advice! I'm trying to decide between the two. Do you have any personal experience or opinions on which one is better?
In my opinion, both motherboards are excellent choices. The MSI MAG X570 TOMAHAWK WIFI has a nicer design and more features, but it's also a bit more expensive. The ASUS AM4 TUF Gaming X570-Plus (Wi-Fi) offers great performance at a lower price point. It really comes down to your budget and preferences.
That's true, @ryancshort. It ultimately depends on what you're looking for in a motherboard. For example, I prefer the MSI MAG X570 TOMAHAWK WIFI because of its better build quality and design. However, if price is more important to you, the ASUS AM4 TUF Gaming X570-Plus (Wi-Fi) is a fantastic option.
Thanks for your input! I'm leaning towards the MSI MAG X570 TOMAHAWK WIFI just because it seems like it has more features. What about other factors like compatibility and future upgradeability?
Both motherboards are compatible with Ryzen 5 Pro 4650G, so you don't have to worry about that. Regarding future upgradeability, the MSI MAG X570 TOMAHAWK WIFI has an edge since it supports a newer AM4 CPU, which means you can potentially upgrade your system in the future.
That's good to know! So, I should go for the MSI MAG X570 TOMAHAWK WIFI if I want more features and better future upgradeability? How about storage options, connectivity, audio features, and form factor?
Yes, @emperorscratchy, the MSI MAG X570 TOMAHAWK WIFI is a great choice if those are your priorities. It has multiple M.2 slots for fast SSDs, plenty of USB ports, good audio, and supports various form factors like ATX and MicroATX.
Awesome! Thanks everyone for all the advice. I think I'll go with the MSI MAG X570 TOMAHAWK WIFI then. It seems like it has everything I need and more.
You're welcome, @emperorscratchy. I'm sure you'll be happy with your choice. If you have any questions or concerns in the future, don't hesitate to ask!
