Beginner Purchase for Self Build/Upgradable PC
5 Stars
Beginner Purchase for Self Build/Upgradable PC
I've never built my own PC before. I knew I wanted something like an x470 so I could continue to upgrade it over time. I researched on Reddit and various youtube channels, and the x470 gives me what I need. Mainly, it will support AMD processor upgrades for about as long as I could ever want. If I ever want to overclock anything, it will also be able to handle that, thanks to solid heat management built into the board.Again, I've never built a PC. Even so, installation was very straightforward. It fit into my case well, the processor was easy to install, and the ram went in nicely. The stock cooler that came with my CPU went in well. And to my surprise, my red Ballistix ram looks totally sick with the red board. I'm not really an RGB guy, but even my wife thought that it looked killer (see included picture, pardon my yellow lights and cable management).I was nervous I'd break something during installation, but all the screws went in well. Everything is labeled so you don't mess anything up. The RAM required some pressure to get in, which i was afraid of, but it went in fine. The only tricky thing was the case's front panel cables, but that's not on MSI. Helpfully, MSI included a diagram on how to install those in the Manual.If there was anything tricky for a beginner on this motherboard, I didn't run into it.Once I got to updates, the MSI Live software basically did everything for me. I did flash the new BIOS, but I don't think I had to do that. I just wanted to see if I could do it on my own. I could! And I've never touched anything like that before. In any case, the software keeps everything up to date and made updating everything easy. It'll even auto-detect your board and help you register it so you don't have to plug in those long serial numbers on your own.I'm currently running an AMD 2400g, which has integrated graphics so I don't yet need a graphics card. It can run all the modern games at decent settings. It's not going to blow anything away, but I'm mainly producing music, so it's not a huge deal. Once I save up enough for, say an AMD 3700x and a decent graphics card, this thing will chug away at anything on great settings.I also knew I wanted to boost my Crucial Ballistix RAM a bit, and from what I researched, this board was a solid option at a good pricepoint to do so. Something about the way it's built handles heat well, I guess. It's not like, super pro enthusiast level, but I'm not pushing any envelopes here. I was considering the x570 boards, but those are bleeding edge. Going with the x470 gaming plus, I saved about $100.I then played around with overclocking, because I like fiddling with technology. The BIOS makes it super easy. Literally, you can just click the boost button, and it will do it for you.The included ram settings are some of the coolest things for a beginner. The board comes pre-loaded with settings that are researched to be stable. I'm currently running 16gb of 3200mhz RAM. With the included BIOS, I clicked a recommended setting to run it at 3466mhz. Completely cool and stable at that setting. That little tweak made a large difference in the stress test (I used Cinebench, which many youtubers use for their videos). I'm going to leave it there, because...I ran into trouble trying to stray beyond my knowledge.I tweaked some more advanced settings with AMD's Master utility and pushed things too far. My computer wouldn't come on. I panicked a bit, but fortunately, MSI thought ahead about people like me and included a "reset CMOS" button. You just unplug your PC from the wall, hold that for 5-10 seconds, and it resets the board back to default settings. Came on again right away, perfectly.Saved my beginner butt pretty well.So, I'm currently running my processer at 3.9ghz and my DDR4 RAM at 3466mhz. Super stable. If I'm playing a game, I'm playing Apex Legends and Path of Exile. Both look great on my crappy monitor (part of the eventual upgrade list) and run smooth. So far, audio production hasn't seen any issues, though I've not gotten into anything heavy.To answer some basic questions:Best features: Included overclock settings (see included picture) and CMOS reset. Bumped my Cinebench score from 850ish to 1500. When I pushed further outside of the BIOS and messed everything up, I just reset it and everything was peachy keen.Why this board?: I wanted advanced and upgradable. I read MSI treats its customers well compared to other manufacturers, and I knew I'd get updates on this guy. So I got the x470 gaming plus, which is upgradeable, and a really solid pricepoint.It definitely exceeds my expectations, but I'm a beginner, so I don't really know what to expect. But if you're a beginner, know that my experience was great, and they even kept me from messing stuff up with the CMOS feature.If there's any weakness to the product, I'd love for MSI to include a piece in which to put your case's cables, then plug that piece into the motherboard. The diagram is fine, but I've got big hands and those are really small pieces and pins. A labeled plastic guide would have made that brilliant, but some cases have that, some don't.Other than that, the x470 board has been great for me, having never built a computer before. I mean, they basically update everything for you (see MSI live screenshot), which really helped me out.
