Despite the latest technology trends, many gamers still prefer tried-and-true components, especially when building entry-level PCs for Full HD gaming. Typical choices for these users include DDR4-3200 RAM, Ryzen 3600/5500 processors, and a compact AM4 motherboard. One such board is the Asus TUF GAMING A520M-PLUS II, which costs around 75 euros.

Asus TUF GAMING A520M-PLUS II, made in micro-ATX format based on the AMD A520 chipset, allows you to create a balanced and modern PC with support for up to 128 GB of RAM (max. frequency 4866 MHz), SSD drives, including M.2, efficient cooling and lighting Asus Aura Sync. The 8-phase power converter provides sufficient power for processors at the Ryzen 5 5600G level.

High-quality build and limited overclocking

The TUF series from Asus is known for its high-quality design approach: the use of heat-resistant components and improved cooling of VRM zones. However, the use of the A520 chip with PCIe 3.0 support limits compatibility with the latest fast SSDs and graphics cards. It is also worth considering that the board is not intended for intensive overclocking.
