[QUOTE="plat, post: 1024647, member: 74969"] What case do you have in mind? Do you want a micro ATX board? The one you listed is for tiny form-factor cases, is that what you want? Otherwise, you can look at the Prime B550 Plus which is actually a tiny bit cheaper. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.asus.com/us/motherboards-components/motherboards/prime/prime-b550-plus/[/URL] It has two M.2 slots but nvm-e drives are generally a bit more expensive. However, if you're willing to consider an nvm-e, you have many choices, budget incl. Instead of Transcend, I would consider the Samsung 870 EVO SATA ssd but this is about 30 US dollars more, depending on where you shop. I would consider a power supply from tiers b and/or c which supposedly have decent quality but for more budget-minded builds. The reason for this is primarily that I cannot find the model "Cuprum Strike" at any major vendor but this is in the US, mind you. You want to have something rated well esp. since you're supposedly going to upgrade the gpu at a later time. Like many others, Antec makes really nice ones and crappy ones too.
