ATX Motherboard
MSI offers the best build quality and reliability in the mid-range B450 chipset motherboards. Tomahawk being their bestseller and most popular of them all will ensure more frequent and up-to date bios updates which are important for bug fixes and optimal performance. Although there are other AM4 socket mobos from msi as well which may be lower or higher in cost based on the quality of the heatsinks on the VRMs which gets insanely hot during heavy processing and may throttle the performance of the build overall. Being a full size ATX mobo gives it ample space to incorporate 4 DIMM slots ,3 PCIe x1 slots, 2 PCIe x16 slots for gpu crossfire (with one of them being reinforced with metallic chasis ensuring extra stability for your big ass heavy GPUs, thanks MSI) gives enough room for future upgradation of your build .The I/O panel is fairly featureful with all the standard layout with 1gig ethernet port and a usb type-c along with realtek hd audio drivers as added features. Although this mobo doesn’t come with in-built wifi and bluetooth card but that’s not a deal breaker anyways and can be installed manually(as I did).The bios is fairly simple to understand with GUI capability making OCing your components quite easy. The red LEDs on the egde gives it a good aesthetic feel to the transparent panel builds, which makes this one of the best bang-for-the-buck purchase
