Best AMD gaming motherboard 2019 (February)

The best AMD gaming motherboard can make a huge difference to your final gaming PC build. We’ve put the top AM4 options - from X470 motherboards to X370 and B350 boards - through their paces so you can make the right choice for your rig. Choosing the best AM4 board is vital in getting the most out of your new AMD Ryzen CPU. You don't have to go for the latest X470 motherboard either, because the older 300-series boards from the likes of Asus, Gigabyte, MSI, and ASRock are still seriously capable, completely compatible, and a lot more affordable. Although there's a chance these may need a little tinkering to get working with 3rd Gen Ryzen chips. All AM4 boards work with the current second-gen Ryzen processors, as well as the first-gen chips, making it a very stable platform with impressive potential future-proofing on offer. AMD also announced further 3rd Gen Ryzen processors over at CES 2019, which are also expected to slot right into most AM4 motherboards. Even PCIe 4.0 may well be retroactively fitted to the primary slot on some older AM4 boards - pending BIOS support.
