I have this board, AMA. I've loved it for a simple yet capable setup for my 5600x. I did have to flash a new BIOS for Zen3 but it was easy, they may have updated it from the factory since tho... I dunno.

Bought one. Want to use it for a new Ryzen 5700g build. It has the DP port, which sealed the deal. Thanks.

What's the DP and HDMI version on this board? I want to build it with a 5700G. Can it drive two 4K60Hz monitors simultaneously?

Why do you need a DP port for an integrated graphics it doesn't make any sense at all
I have a 4K monitor. Only the DP port supports 4K resolution on this monitor though.

No wifi kills the deal!
If this is for gaming, you should be hardwired anyway.

4+2+1 power phases is the real limit here. If you are adding the wifi card anyway for $15+ you might as well go for the Mortar Wifi version, 129 with 8+2+1 VRM. Oh and a second x16 slot too

Yes, I recommend the MSI Mortar versions over Bazooka in both AMD and Intel. Much better designs and less compromises and more rugged build.

But this is a great price for an entry level PCIe 4 board.

In most cases, ITX is a more reasonable form factor for a 5700G/APU build. The majority of AM4 ITX boards include onboard wifi and still have a PCIe expansion slot.
Of course there's exceptions depending on use case, some peoples' needs require more than one expansion slot. The majority of APU builds don't have a dedicated GPU, if you're wanting to run a dedicated GPU I'd consider a better non APU processor.
Sometimes ITX cases are harder to work in or may not have the CPU cooler clearance/fan flexibility so be sure to read reviews & choose your case wisely. Going ITX does require a little more research to find a case that fits your needs. If you don't want to do the needed research, mATX is the way to go. The B550 chipset is a great option and this is a decent price for what you get, especially if you don't need onboard wifi.

Are you using this board for something other than gaming? Because if you have a graphics/video card then the onboard video doesn't matter. You shouldn't be using that port. If you are using this board for something other than gaming I'm curious as to what you're doing with your computer.
