The cheapest sensible way into an AM4 build that still has wireless built in
Quick Specs
- AMD A520 chipset, Socket AM4 for Ryzen 3000 and 5000 series processors
- Micro-ATX form factor, 244 x 244 mm
- 2 x DDR4 DIMM slots supporting up to 64 GB
- PCIe 3.0 x16 graphics slot and an M.2 NVMe socket
- Wi-Fi and Gigabit Ethernet onboard
Budget builds and second machines
AM4 refuses to die because Ryzen 5000 chips remain excellent value in South Africa, and the A520M-Plus WiFi is the cheapest board that does the job properly. TUF-grade components, ASUS's UEFI, an M.2 slot for a fast boot drive and integrated Wi-Fi mean you can put together a capable 5600 or 5700X3D gaming machine without adding a wireless card or fighting a nasty BIOS. It is also a sound choice for a home office PC or a first build for a student, where reliability and a clean setup process matter far more than headroom you will never use.
Know what A520 does not do
A520 has no CPU overclocking at all, so an unlocked Ryzen will run at stock only. PCIe is 3.0 throughout, which does not hurt current mid-range graphics cards in practice but does halve the ceiling on NVMe drive speeds. Two DIMM slots means 64 GB maximum and no upgrade path by adding sticks later. The VRM is adequate for a 5600 or 5700X3D but a 5950X under sustained all-core load will run into power limits. There is no PCIe 4.0, no DDR5 and no upgrade path to AM5. If you want any of that, buy a B550 board or move to AM5 entirely.

Questions
Before you buy
Which processors fit this board?
It takes AM4 processors on the A520 chipset. Socket and chipset together decide what will run: the socket has to match physically, and the chipset decides which generations on that socket are supported. For a chip released after the board, check the manufacturer’s CPU support list to see whether a BIOS update is needed first.
Which cases will this board fit?
It is Micro-ATX. A case supports its own size and anything smaller - an ATX case takes ATX, Micro-ATX and Mini-ITX boards, a Micro-ATX case takes Micro-ATX and Mini-ITX. Each case we sell lists the board sizes it accepts under Specifications.
What memory does it take?
DDR4 across 2 slots, up to 64GB in total. DDR4 and DDR5 are not interchangeable - the notch in the module is in a different place, so the wrong type will not seat. Buy the memory as a matched kit rather than as single sticks wherever you can.
Is it in stock, and when will it ship?
Yes - this one is in stock. Order before 12:00 on a working day and it ships the same day; after that it goes out the next working day. We are open 09:00 to 16:30, Monday to Friday, so an order placed over a weekend or a public holiday ships on the next working day.
What does delivery cost, and how long does it take?
We deliver by courier anywhere in South Africa, and delivery is R180 on orders under R2 500 and free on orders of R2 500 or more. It takes 1-3 working days to Johannesburg, Pretoria, Cape Town, Durban and areas within 100km of them, and 2-4 working days to areas more than 100km from a major centre, counted from the day the order is dispatched. Need it sooner? Express delivery is 1-2 working days for R210, or R150 on orders of R2 500 or more - choose it at checkout. We do not ship outside South Africa.
Can I collect instead of having it delivered?
Yes. Collection is from 11 Voortrekker Avenue, Edenvale, Gauteng, by arrangement - message us first so we can have the order picked and waiting. We are open 09:00 to 16:30, Monday to Friday.
What warranty does it carry, and how do I claim?
The warranty period for this product is listed at the end of the Specifications section above. Claims go through us, not the manufacturer - contact us with your order number and a description of the fault and we will handle it from there. Separately from any warranty, the Consumer Protection Act gives you six months from delivery to return goods that are defective, unsafe or not fit for their intended purpose.
What if I change my mind?
You have 14 days from delivery to change your mind - longer than the seven days the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act requires. The item needs to be unused and in its original packaging, and we pay the return shipping. Refunds go back to the payment method you used, within 30 days of the return reaching us.
How can I pay?
Payments are processed by Stitch. At the last step of checkout you are taken to Stitch’s secure page to pay, and brought back here once it is done. Your card details are entered on Stitch’s secure, PCI-compliant page and never touch our systems.
