I'm planning to build a PC with a 7500F processor and an RX 9060 XT graphics card. I've already got 32GB of XPG RAM (16x2, CL30) ready to go. I'm looking for an AM5 motherboard that suits my needs without breaking the bank. My usage will be gaming and possibly live streaming, but I have no interest in overclocking or upgrading my processor in the future. I typically won't keep the PC on for more than six hours a day, so I just want something basic that meets my requirements. Thanks!

Consider the ASRock B650M-HDV M.2 (White Version). It has PCIe 5.0 support and should fit your build nicely!
The cheapest B650 board that offers enough USB ports and M.2 slots would be a good choice for your setup. Power delivery shouldn’t be an issue for what you’re planning to do.
Since I'm mainly gaming, I wonder if a B620 would even be enough for me.
You might want to check out the ASRock B650M Pro RS motherboard; it’s well-rated and affordable. There’s even a WiFi version for just $10 more if that might be useful for you later on!
I'll look into ASRock more since I've heard some boards can cause issues. Thanks for the tip!
I read that some ASRock boards can have problems, though. Is there a big difference between PCIe 4.0 and 5.0?
