I'm looking for some recommendations on a budget-friendly motherboard that supports DDR4 and a CPU that can work well with my RTX 3050 8GB graphics card. I got the GPU for free from a friend, so I'm trying to keep costs low but still want decent performance. Any suggestions would be awesome!

If you're trying to save as much as possible, consider either a Ryzen 5600 with a B550 motherboard or an i5-12400F with a B660 or B760 that supports DDR4. You can pair them with some 3200 CL16 or 3600 CL18 RAM for a good balance. Just keep in mind that while they're both solid options, they might vary in price depending on sales or availability.
What about going with an i3-12100F? It's pretty affordable and should still work well with your RTX 3050 if you're on a tight budget. Just make sure you pair it with a compatible DDR4 motherboard!
