About This Product

The MSI A520M PRO is a budget-friendly Micro-ATX motherboard for AMD AM4 processors. It is suitable for basic computing tasks and entry-level gaming builds using integrated graphics or low-power discrete GPUs. Compared to B550 boards, it lacks PCIe 4.0 support and advanced overclocking features, making it less ideal for high-performance gaming or productivity. Its two DDR4 slots limit future memory expansion.

Best for: Budget Basic Builds

Pros

Affordable AM4 platform
Micro-ATX compact size
Supports current AMD Ryzen CPUs
Sufficient for basic use

Cons

No PCIe 4.0 support
Limited memory slots (2)
Basic VRM for entry-level CPUs

Verdict
“Best for budget-conscious users building a basic PC for everyday tasks or light gaming.”
