Still the best value AM4 board for a 5700X3D build
Quick Specs
- AMD B550 chipset, Socket AM4 for Ryzen 3000 and 5000 series processors
- Micro-ATX form factor, 244 x 244 mm
- 4 x DDR4 DIMM slots supporting up to 128 GB
- PCIe 4.0 x16 graphics slot and PCIe 4.0 M.2 storage
- Wi-Fi 6 and 2.5 Gb Ethernet onboard
The board that keeps AM4 relevant
DDR4 memory and Ryzen 5000 CPUs are cheap in South Africa right now, and a 5700X3D on a B550 board still delivers gaming performance that embarrasses its price. The B550M-Plus WiFi II is the right home for that build: four DIMM slots, PCIe 4.0 for both the graphics card and the boot drive, CPU overclocking support, Wi-Fi 6 and 2.5 Gb Ethernet, and a VRM that comfortably feeds a 5800X3D or 5900X. If you are upgrading an older AM4 machine or building a value gaming PC from scratch, this remains the reference choice.
Understand what you are buying into
AM4 is a finished platform. This board takes Ryzen 5000 and nothing newer, so the CPU you fit is effectively the last one it will ever have. DDR4 will not carry forward to an AM5 build either, so treat the memory as part of this machine's lifespan. Wi-Fi 6 rather than Wi-Fi 7, PCIe 4.0 rather than 5.0, and a Micro-ATX slot count that limits expansion are all real constraints. If you want an upgrade path over the next five years, spend more now and go AM5. If you want maximum frames per rand today, this is hard to beat.

Questions
Before you buy
Which processors fit this board?
It takes AM4 processors on the B550 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 4 slots, up to 128GB 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.
