Mini itx B450 suggestion for Ryzen 5 3600X

[beyondinfinity]

For the 3600X I originally was going to get the

Gigabyte X570 I AORUS PRO WIFI Mini ITX AM4

But I think it is way more than I need and has too many features that I wont use. like PCIe gen 4 for one.

What are some good alternatives in B450?

Should have good WIFI.

This is my build so far.

No need to overspend on a 3600X. An inexpensive Mini ITX motherboard such as the Gigabyte B450I Aorus Pro WiFi for $120 or so will be fine. Be aware that there still is a chance you might need to flash the BIOS for it to recognize Zen 2 CPUs.

3600x is actually cheaper than the 3600 right now so I'd rather just get that.

I meant no need to overspend on a motherboard for the 3600X. I'd get the 3600X also as its just $189 at my local Microcenter vs. $169 for the 3600.

Ok I decided on the Asus ROG Strix B450-i. What do you think? Reviews looked ok so far.

The B450-I is an awesome board for it's size. Built in BlueTooth and Wifi, M2 and better VRM package over most B450 motherboards. The bios is totally packed to the top for overclocking and tweaking.

Have the same board, you're really going to like it.
