    MSI had the best bios of any motherboard in the game. If you are on a tight budget you can not go wrong with this board. It performs as good if not better than the so called high end B550 boards and even some X570.

    Great motherboard for the price. Only thing i would want would be wifi. But the board works great with a 3090 and 5800x. No issues.

    Great looking motherboard with plenty of features and headers. Be aware it does not have WiFi or Bluetooth. RGB lighting is only around the chipset but I think it looks really good. Part of my reason for purchasing this board is that it is great value for the VRM's you are getting, according to LTT Tier list.

    Solid Motherboard

    The MSI B550 Gaming Plus is a solid motherboard. I’ve used it in my first gaming PC build and it’s worked great so far. The mystic Lighting works pretty nicely and connecting the power and fan cables were made simple with the manual. Having 2 M.2 slots was nice for me because I don’t want to have the larger ssd drives taking up space in my system unnecessarily. The bios is very simple to work. I successfully overclocked my cpu on the first try, then underclocked it a bit because it was a bit toasty. I also like that there’s an RGB header as well as 2 Addressable RGB headers for plenty of color in the system. I haven’t utilized the JRainbow headers yet, but I certainly plan to. Overall, a decent choice for a mid range gaming pc.

    I decided to build by first PC! I was nervous that I get the wrong motherboard. But it was very easy to get everything installed on it. The software it comes with controls all my RGB lights. Only downside is no Wi-Fi or Bluetooth.
