I'm looking to rebuild my computer and I'm stuck on choosing the right motherboard. Here are the specs I've decided on so far: CPU: Ryzen 5 5600X, CPU Cooler: Arctic Liquid Freezer II 240, Memory: Corsair Vengeance Pro 32GB (2x16), Storage: 1TB SSD, Video Card: RTX 3060, and Case: Montech XR. I'd appreciate any suggestions for the motherboard and any overall feedback on the parts I've picked!

What do you mean by 'rebuild'? Do you already have the parts listed, or are you just starting fresh?
Any B550 motherboard with the right features will work fine for your CPU. Just make sure it has the connections you need!

For budget-friendly options, you might want to check out B550M boards like the Gigabyte Eagle or MSI Pro. If you're looking for something better, the Gigabyte Gaming or Aorus boards have great ratings and should work well with your specs.
I don’t think those options will work with the 5600X. Just double-check the compatibility.
Did you mean B550? The B650 boards are for AM5 processors, but the 5600X uses AM4.
I've got some parts from a prebuilt system, but I’m looking to upgrade a few things, so I'm considering it like a new build.
