Slowly picking up the pieces for my first build, and I’ve spend a fair bit of time researching motherboards. After a lot of consideration, I am going with an x570 vs. a b550.
There are tons of options, but this is the only motherboard that has excellent reviews all across (New Egg, Amazon, YouTube, PCPartPicker, Canada Computers). People seem to be praising the VRM, which is one main reason I am interested in this model.
Anyway, upon release this motherboard had exorbitant pricing due to high demand. The motherboard it self seems to be hard to get your hands on, and since this is seemingly the lowest price it has been, I decided to pull the trigger now vs. waiting for further discount. Who knows, with COVID cases rapidly rising again, and with the release of new GPUs and CPUs, the DIY-PC building mania may not be over, therefore I suspect we may not see noticeable price reductions for certain components in the shorter term. I’m new to this, so someone better informed is welcomed to correct me
The eBay seller is New Egg, which is interesting to see that they priced the mobo cheaper on eBay than on their own website.
