I'm working on building a PC and I've got some decent components picked out, but I'm struggling to choose the right motherboard. Here's what I'm planning to use: a Ryzen 7 5700x CPU, a GTX 1660 Ti GPU, and 16 GB of RAM. My budget is pretty tight, so any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Also, keep in mind that you'll need to check if the motherboard has enough USB slots for your peripherals. Since you mentioned you're okay with the basics, a mid-range B550 should do the trick and keep the costs down.
First off, you should consider how much you want to spend on the motherboard. Since you're on a budget, I'd suggest looking for B550 motherboards—they offer good performance for Ryzen and usually have decent features without breaking the bank. Just make sure it has enough USB ports for your needs since not all boards have the same amount.
Good to know! How much should I expect to spend on a B550 board?
