New models of AMD Ryzen 7 8700G and Ryzen 5 8600G processors create tempting opportunities for users to upgrade or build a gaming PC. They offer significantly greater gaming prospects, as compared to processors of the previous generation.

Reviewers believe that integrated graphics chips can handle Full HD, especially in popular (and relatively light) games like Fortnite. With one of these chips, you can save on your next gaming PC by forgoing a discrete graphics card, or use it to create an ultra-compact, low-power media center. Whatever the plans for new processors and graphics cards, the motherboard will be needed in any case. Consider ASUS solution for Ryzen 7 8700G or Ryzen 5 8600G processors.

B650 motherboards are compatible with Ryzen 7 8700G and Ryzen 5 8600G

Ryzen 7 8700G and Ryzen 5 8600G plug into the AM5 socket, so the user will be using current generation AMD motherboards. The B650 motherboards are a good choice for these chips as they offer good value for money – and that's certainly a big part of the appeal of these new AMD processors.

B650E and B650 motherboards are priced lower than the high-end X670E motherboards, but still pack many of the most advanced features. They offer plenty of M.2 slots for a high-speed gaming library, and every ROG Strix and TUF Gaming motherboard comes with a built-in high-speed USB 3.2 Gen 2 × 2 Type-C port.

B650E and B650 motherboards also support the latest DDR5 RAM. With a data transfer rate 50% faster than the previous generation DDR4 memory, DDR5 unlocks a new level of performance, and ASUS motherboards offer a host of hardware and firmware optimizations that allow users to push their kits to their absolute limits . Independent reviews show that the Ryzen 7 8700G and Ryzen 5 8600G like a fast and "capacious" memory pool - if the price is right, it's worth buying a DDR5-6000 RAM kit with 32GB or faster.

Undeniable long-term value: TUF Gaming B650-Plus Wi-Fi

If the priorities when choosing a motherboard are reliable operation, a pleasant appearance and the necessary gaming performance, then ASUS TUF Gaming line will come in handy.

If you are looking for an ATX motherboard, you should pay attention to TUF Gaming B650-Plus Wi-Fi. For a compact buildable PC, TUF Gaming B650M-Plus Wi-Fi is just what you need. These boards have DDR5 support, a PCIe 5.0 M.2 slot for lightning-fast data storage, and a built-in USB 3.2 Gen 2 × 2 USB Type-C port for fast and versatile connectivity. 2.5 Gbps Ethernet provides a fast-wired network connection, while Wi-Fi 6 provides a reliable wireless connection.

Important note about PCIe 5.0 M.2 slot: Ryzen 7 8700G and Ryzen 5 8600G do not support PCIe 5.0. If access to the fastest M.2 solid-state drives on the market is a priority, look for a Ryzen 7000 series processor instead. But this slot will still fit a reasonably fast and more affordable PCIe 4.0 solid-state drive, and its built-in heatsink will keep it pleasantly cool for stable productivity.

Mini-ITX perfection: ROG Strix B650E-I Gaming Wi-Fi

If you're building a PC for a home entertainment center or a room where space is the main limiting factor, an ATX system may be too big for your needs. ROG Strix B650E-I Gaming WiFi is suitable for maintaining the Mini-ITX configuration of dreams. This compact motherboard can easily fit in one hand and is one of the best motherboards for Ryzen 7 8700G or Ryzen 5 8600G processors.

Like B650E, it features a PCIe 5.0 x 16 slot and a PCIe 5.0 M.2 slot, making it ready for today's and tomorrow's fastest graphics cards. Versatile and state-of-the-art connectivity options, including a USB 3.2 Gen 2 port with DisplayPort ALT mode, give users everything they need to build. And such additional conveniences as a pre-installed I/O panel simplify the assembly process in an extremely tight Mini-ITX case.

B650 at a great price: ASUS Prime B650 Plus

ROG Strix, TUF Gaming and ProArt motherboard lines are designed for gamers and power users who want to get the most out of their systems. The Prime series boards offer many of the same features for enthusiasts, but are also good enough to serve as reliable platforms for work and everyday computing. For those looking for a budget PC that combines versatile features and sleek style, the Prime board is the best choice.

As the best Prime motherboard for Ryzen 7 8700G or Ryzen 5 8600G, the affordable and feature-rich ASUS Prime B650 Plus motherboard is worth considering. With this ATX motherboard, you can enjoy high-speed wired networking thanks to the Realtek 2.5 Gbps Ethernet controller, PCIe 5.0 M.2 slot and DDR5 support. The user will even find a Thunderbolt 4 ready-to-connect high-speed connector on the front of the case. It's all in a space-age black and white design, so it's easy to match with a wide range of computer hardware.

Prime B650 motherboards also allow for easy CPU upgrades in the future. With BIOS FlashBack, you can quickly update your board's BIOS with just a power supply and a USB stick. This will pave the way for the next generations of AMD Ryzen processors as long as AMD supports backwards compatibility while still using the same Prime B650 motherboard.
