Hey everyone! I'm completely new to building PCs and I'm looking to upgrade some components. Right now, I need a new motherboard and I'm not really sure what I should be looking for. I'm considering upgrading my CPU to the AMD Ryzen 9 5900X 3.7 GHz 12-Core Processor, but I'd appreciate any recommendations or tips on what motherboard would work well with that. If you need more info to help me out, just let me know! Thanks!

Before you buy a motherboard, it's good to consider your current setup and what you plan to do with your PC. Since you're upgrading from an AMD Ryzen 5 4600G to the Ryzen 9 5900X, make sure the motherboard is compatible with that CPU. Also, look for a motherboard that fits your gaming needs.
Oh, and since you mentioned needing a new power supply, make sure the motherboard can accommodate that too – you might want a standard connector to avoid any compatibility issues. Ultimately, something like the ASUS ROG Strix B550-F or MSI MAG B550M mortar could be a great match for your upgrade! Rock on!
Totally agree with GamerDude99! Just remember to double-check the dimensions of your case for the new motherboard and PSU, especially since you've mentioned some space constraints. It's super important to get those right or you'll have a tough time fitting everything together!
