For those wondering, since it's not clearly listed, it's a AMD B450 chipset.

Not a hot deal at all.

Okay, since there is some nuance, I'd like to help. This is MSI's max line, which supports zen 3 aka 5xxx series CPUs out of the box. A older b450 may not but since this is a b450 max it does. MSI also includes a bios flashback feature on this board that could also help you if you had an incompatible cpu so you'd also be safe here. If you need a new board this price isn't bad for Amazon convenience and easy returns. It's actually not terribly easy to get Am4 boards under 80 new.

As others pointed out, this is a B450 mobo which lacks pci-e 4.0 support. Fine if you have an older gpu and do not plan to upgrade to anything newer.
But, B550 mobos are not more expensive. I am in the process of building an R5 5600X setup so I was in search too. In another thread, this was suggeted: https://www.ebay.com/itm/305420334191 for the same price ($80 minus $5 with AmEx if deal still active) so I already purchased from antonline on ebay. Not sure how customer support would be but at least it arrived in a new box and looking good so far.

This MSI mobo may struggle with more power hungry CPUs as it has very few VRMs (I see 4+2 chokes near CPU socket). Will probably do just fine with 65W 6 cores models though, if not OCed. Has heat sinks on VRMs at least.

Has a single m.2 slot, no built in wifi but the red accent looks cool. Probably the only positive about it. To be honest, this does not make sense at this price. If drops down to $50, could be coupled with old ryzens flooding sub $50 mark on used market for a light gaming machine on a Tuco tight budget.

This is my mobo. I was surprised to see it here. Anyways, I just looked up my invoice from Aug. 2019 and I paid $85 for it from Newegg.

How easy is their RMA warranty replacement - or is it a chore to get through?

Side note: MSI seems to be the brand with the lowest percentage of angry reviews on Amazon.

If you want a nice board to land a 2000 or 3000 (or 5700/g or 5600g), sure, otherwise get a B550.

ZEN 1 (1000 series and a few others) doesn't have much of a future getting cut off from Windows updates.

The faster "mainstream" cards (4060 Ti/7600 XT) with x8 PCIe lanes are going to hurt a bit on PCIe 3.0.
