Buying a budget motherboard is a process mired in complication and confusion, so is the Gigabyte B550M Gaming a solid budget option for gamers in 2021 and beyond?
This motherboard is very visibly similar to Gigabyte's own B550M S2H motherboard, but without the ultra durable branding and some hints of a gaming-oriented target audience.
Connectivity on the board is another strong suit, though it should be given the motherboards MSRP. With plenty of 4pin PWM fan headers, 4 RGB headers along the bottom (2 x 3-pin addressable and 2 x 4-pin non addressable), a pair of USB 3.0 headers and USB C you’re pretty well catered for. A pair of USB 2.0 headers are also useful when more and more RGB controllers are requiring the ports.
