Looks pretty slick, I've had my eye on it at $130 for a while. I have to imagine at this price it is the cheapest motherboard with 3 high res-video outputs (HDMI or DisplayPort) onboard and built-in wifi. The non-wifi version of this is regularly $100. Dual 4th-gen NVME m.2 slots is a nice bonus, it even includes a heatsink for the top one. And 4 RAM slots and a Gen2 USB C port on the back.... a lot for the money.
I am looking to drive three 1440p monitors without needing a graphics card (as cheaply as possible) and recently research led me to this board.
As far as a CPU with graphics for a budget system, I'd recommend looking for the (4 core 8 thread) i3-12100 on eBay (not the graphicsless i3-12100F) . You might find a bare CPU for around $100 and could get a nice quiet LGA1700 cooler for $20 or so. Or look for one (for a bit more than $100) that includes the Intel bundled cooler, though that cooler is a little loud as its fan revs up and down during high CPU usage.
For bare-minimum budget build, there is the (2 core 4 thread) Pentium Gold G7400, but unless it is much cheaper than the 12100 it doesn't make much sense. Even moreso for the even-slower (2 core 2 thread) Celeron G6900, the cheapest LGA1700 CPU ($42 "MSRP" but runs almost double that).
For a maximum bang-for-your-buck gaming system based on this board, I'd go with a i3-12100F and a used RX5700XT on eBay.

I have this board -- make sure that if you are going to run your ram in XMP that you check your modules are compatible and upgrade to the latest BIOS before enabling XMP mode. Otherwise you will get defaulted down to slowville.
EDIT - also, their software sucks. Don't even bother installing it.

This is LGA1700 not AM5. You're thinking of the B650 chipset.
Doh! Don't I feel foolish.
I also thought it said b650 motherboard.

Why 5700XT in particular? Thanks
