Hi I am Rupesh and I want to upgrade my pc and found AMD Ryzen 5500GT cpu according to my needs. At present I have Intel i3 10th gen 10100 cpu with Asus prime H 510 me motherboard.

I have chosen gigabyte b450 motherboard which is old and costs less than the recent b550 motherboard. Here both b450 and b550 belongs to AM4 Socket. I can get b450 motherboard at half the price of b550 motherboard.

Somewhere I read that b550 motherboard is worth only if I use pci 4.0 devices. Is it true.

My present desktop pc has crucial ddr4 ram and gigabyte m.2 nvme 2280 SSD and Corsair cv 450 power supply. Can I use these components in my new ryzen desktop pc.

Finally I am going to build a new pc with the following parts

1) AMD Ryzen 5500GT processor

2) Gigabyte B450 mk revision 2

3) Old Corsair cv 450 power supply with 80 plus bronze rated

4) Old Crucial ddr4 3200 Ram

5) Old Gigabyte m.2 nvme SSD 256 gb.

May I know whether is there any benifit in choosing b550 motherboard instead of b450 motherboard.

Can I choose my old components specified above in the new pc.

Kindly try to clarify my doubts.

Regards,
Rupesh.

Gear up ...
Avoid 5500GT & drop the whole idea of upgrade.

Usage for the PC? For basic use, i3 10100 will still be enough.

IMO no point in upgrading from i3 10100 as the upgrade ain't huge, surely 50%+ better but not great by today's standard.

Cinebench R23 scores would be like this IMO:
i3 10100 - 5000+
R5 5500GT - approx 9000
R5 5600 / i5 12400 - 12000+

Just save money & upgrade when you have enough money saved to get something which is good.

B550 is needed to get Gen4 SSD & GPU support but 5500GT & 5600G don't support Gen4 from the CPU side.
