Solid Mid-Range board with Great Performance
I recently upgraded to the ASUS ROG Strix B650 motherboard, I’ve been really impressed with its performance and ease of use. It’s perfect for anyone looking to build a mid-range gaming PC without overspending on features you might not use. The installation process was smooth, and the layout of the board is well thought out. There’s plenty of space for components, and the multiple fan headers are great for managing cooling. The BIOS is incredibly user-friendly, making it simple to adjust settings or tweak performance without being overwhelming, even for someone who isn’t a hardcore overclocker. One thing I appreciate is the support for DDR5 RAM, which helps the build. It also has enough M.2 slots for more and fast storage, and the built-in Wi-Fi works like a charm. On the downside, I had to upgrade the BIOS to the latest version already to be enabled my RAM speeds, but that was not complicated at all and but for a solid, reliable motherboard that hits all the essentials at a reasonable price, I’m really happy with it. Would definitely recommend it for anyone doing a new Ryzen build!

For those who dare!
This motherboard pairs well with most builds. I'm using a 7900XTX GPU with a AMD Ryzen™ 7 7800X3D CPU. Easy to install and cable manage. Motherboard has RGB that looks great. Sorry for my cable mgmt.. Easy to install, cant go wrong with ASUS ROG STRIX

Great B650 Platform
I used this to build a new AMD Ryzen 9700X system. This is a higher end board, and it behaved accordingly. I had some failed overclocks (my fault) and recovering the bios and even upgrading was super easy with the provided instructions. The storage heatsinks so their job well and the board has an overall very pleasing look to it though the other components I used did end up obscuring most of that. Be sure to check you memory QVL when you select your RAM. Remember that booting a new AM5 platform for the first time will take longer than one might expect, be patient.
