I'm building my first PC and I'm looking for recommendations on a good budget AM4 motherboard, either ATX or micro ATX. I found the MSI MAG B550 Tomahawk Max WiFi for about $150, but that feels a bit steep for my budget. Any suggestions?

The barebones AM4 motherboards usually sit around $90 to $110. If you're willing to consider something like the 7500F from AliExpress, it could be worth it. Just remember, AM5 offers better performance and a longer upgrade path!
For a great value, check out the MSI B550m Pro VDH Wi-Fi. It's got the best bang for your buck!
I found a Gigabyte Aorus Elite AX V2 for just $120, and I think it's a solid choice for a budget build! Can't go wrong with it.
I've had good experiences with Gigabyte Aorus boards. Never let me down! Also, if you're looking for something budget-friendly, you might find better deals on used boards. Just a thought!
Yeah, I agree—used boards can be a great option! You might be able to snag a decent one without breaking the bank.
That's a good point! But I'm in Australia, and I'm wary of ordering from AliExpress. Not sure about their reliability over here.
