Pros

Well I bit the bullet and splashed out on some components for a new multipurpose/gaming PC. I was able to reuse some items from my son's recently upgraded machine, namely the PSU, a 500w EVGA, and the GPU, an old but still useful gigabyte gtx1060. I ended up ordering a case, a motherboard, some ram, a CPU and an SSD. The motherboard I chose was the MSI B550 gaming edge WiFi, a board which is virtually a twin of their B550 tomahawk. As far as I can tell, the only real difference is one less Lan port with WiFi/Bluetooth instead, and one less heatsink for the nvme ssd. The fact that the WiFi/Bluetooth is integrated on the board is enough for me to choose this over its twin. Even the normal price premium for the gaming edge WiFi is a non issue, because they're the same here on Amazon, or they were when I looked. The actual board is well laid out, and only the techies or nerds will worry about the way the PCI lanes are arranged less than optimally for the i/o. The RGB on the chipset heatsink is present, but rather understated. And if bling is your thing, both 3 and 4 pin connectors for ARGB and RGB are present and the results can be controlled by the motherboard software, Dragon center(yes spelt with "er"). Well recommended for those who want a nice AMD mobo, with a bit more upgrade path left in it, overclock abilities and bling. And for those like me who have an ancient current PC, but have a bit of common sense about plugging things together.

Cons


Waste of money. Board works ok, but don't pay the extra for wifi - it doesn't work, MSI can't fix it and by the time you've worked that out, you've assembled it into a PC, so can't return it without reversing all the effort of the build. So, you have to buy a wifi card anyway. Save the money and days of waiting for hopeless responses from MSI, just buy separate wifi.
