ASRock B650 Pro RS WiFi

A budget AM5 ATX board on B650 with DDR5 support, positioned as the beginner-tier anchor that frees up cash for the GPU. It's the right call for a value-focused Ryzen build where the motherboard shouldn't eat the budget. Skip it if you need Gen5 GPU lanes or premium I/O; those features live on higher chipsets and pricier boards.
