Thanks, that's really helpful! I'm also curious about what kind of features I should be looking for in a motherboard?

Glad to help! For your Ryzen 3 3200G, you'll need an AM4 socket-compatible motherboard. As mentioned earlier, X570 is the best choice. Besides that, make sure it supports PCIe 4.0 speeds if you plan on using high-speed storage devices. Also, check for USB 3.2 Gen 2 support for faster data transfer rates.

That makes sense. Any recommendations for good motherboards in the X570 chipset?

If you're looking for a balance between features and price, the ASUS TUF Gaming X570-Plus (Wi-Fi) is a great option. It has everything you need for your Ryzen 3 3200G and is budget-friendly.

Thanks for the suggestion! What about the MSI MAG X570 Tomahawk Wi-Fi? Is that a good choice too?

Yeah, the MSI MAG X570 Tomahawk Wi-Fi is another excellent option. It's more feature-rich but also comes at a higher price point. If you want the best of the best, it might be worth considering.

I'd agree with @TrippKitty. The MSI MAG X570 Tomahawk Wi-Fi offers advanced features like improved cooling and better connectivity options. However, it's essential to ensure that it supports all the necessary features for your Ryzen 3 3200G before making a decision.

Great, thanks for the input everyone! I'll do some more research on these motherboards and make a choice soon.
