Overview
Building a compact Ryzen gaming or work PC is what this ASRock board is made for, with AMD's current socket, current generation memory and the newest PCIe graphics slot. Wireless and fast wired networking are on the board, so no add-in card is needed.
The newest PCIe standard on both the graphics slot and one storage slot gives room for future upgrades on a small board. Two memory slots cap expansion, and the listing warns it may not suit every pre-built system.
Who it's for
Compact gaming builds and home office towers with one graphics card suit this board. Builders who want lots of memory or several PCIe cards should look at a full size board.
