Hey everyone! I need some advice on building an AM5 PC for my brother. It's been a while since he's been into PCs, and he's a bit out of the loop on which components to pick. We're aiming for a budget of 800 euros max. So far, I'm planning on getting him a Ryzen 5 7500F and 32GB of 6000 MHz RAM. The tricky part is choosing the motherboard—he needs Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity, and he might consider upgrading to a better CPU in the next few years. For the GPU, should I stick with a budget-friendly RX 7600 (8 GB) or go for something better? He prefers to keep everything AMD for both the CPU and GPU. I'm also planning on a 1TB M.2 SSD for storage. Keep in mind that the case and fans aren't included in this budget since he already has a Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 CPU fan and two case fans. Any tips or recommendations would be appreciated! We'll be shopping from German websites, even though we don't speak the language.

You should consider a B650 motherboard or even an A620, as either would likely meet your brother's needs. Make sure it has the features he requires. As for the GPU, if you go with the RX 7600 paired with the 7500F, his next upgrade will probably be the GPU instead of the CPU. Focus on maximizing performance with the GPU upgrade in the future!
What are the main differences between the A620 and B650 motherboards?
