ASROCK AB350 GAMING K4 SOCKET AM4 MOTHERBOARD

The AB350 Pro4 can punch a buyer’s ticket into the Ryzen party for less than $100. In exchange for nine portraits of Alexander Hamilton, you get an ATX motherboard with a pair of PCIe 3.0 x16 slots, six SATA ports, a PCIe M.2 slot, and a SATA M.2 slot.

Networking is handled by a plain-old Realtek Gigabit Ethernet adapter. The AB350 Pro4 sports eight USB 3.0 ports, one of them with a Type-C connector. The board has HDMI, DVI-D, and VGA outputs, but those will only work with a Bristol Ridge APU, which is based on AMD’s crusty old construction-core microarchitecture.
