I'm trying to build a Ryzen system for someone with a strict $350 budget, and the last thing that I need is a motherboard. There is $70 left in the budget (well, technically it's $69.26 left , but I'll cover the overage). I'm hoping to find a B450 or X470 board. It can be mATX or ATX.

If you're near MA, I have a few systems (i5/i7, 16gb RAM, 240gb SSDs) pretty cheap.

So maybe you bought one of these and it wasn’t fast enough. It will be plenty fast enough for my needs. Sell it to me!

I'm looking for a few 240gb SATA SSDs hopefully in the $20 each range. They don't have to be anything special. Thanks!

Yup
