    The motherboard was purchased after searching for a VFM option and I am very satisfied. Bought for 70 euros. The only negative in my opinion is that it only has one NVMe M.2 and one PCI ports, but it is a motherboard for building a basic budget gaming PC so no problem, you know what you're getting in the end! Otherwise flawless, with plenty of USB ports (4 USB 3.2 Gen 1 and 2 USB 3.2 Gen 2), pleasant BIOS with many features, and a very useful software (ARMOURY CRATE) from ASUS where you can make your tweaks without entering the BIOS. For those wondering and having doubts about whether a BIOS update is needed for your CPU, I have to say that the motherboard came with version 4002 and I didn't need to update it with my Ryzen 7 5800X! ASUS has released two more BIOS versions (4202 and 4204) but your CPU will work with 4002 without any problems. My system consists of the Ryzen 7 5800X, Corsair Vengeance LPX 32GB (2x16), and the Gigabyte 1060 Aorus.

    My first SSD and the first time I buy a Crucial product. It has been in my system for 1 month now and I haven't encountered any problems. It is very fast and the temperatures don't exceed 45 degrees. For the 40 euros I paid for the 1TB, I feel like I made the right choice for my Budget PC. 1TB NVMe for 40 euros, what negative thing can you really say?

    Very powerful and fast CPU, I combined it with an ASUS motherboard (B450M-A II) and a 1060 and I can say after a month of use that it doesn't lag anywhere and makes multitasking seem like a breeze. Its temperatures, combined with the Be Quiet Pure Rock Slim 2 cooler and 2 fans in my mid tower case with decent cable management, are a maximum of 85 degrees in AAA games with ultra graphics and various open applications. At idle, it's at most 60 degrees. The 190 euros it costs is a steal in my opinion. It should be noted that this is the first time I've used an AMD CPU and I am satisfied with its performance!

  • Personal headphones are a quick and cheap solution for every gamer or general user. After using them for about a year, I can say that they have strong sound, satisfactory bass for their price in a nice packaging. What didn't impress me though is their construction and the comfort they offer after prolonged use. After 1 hour, I want to take them off and not put them back on due to the pain they cause in the ears. They don't have many options for head height and have a very thick, annoying cable that wraps around the three cables they already have (audio jack, microphone, and USB for the red LEDs). I found the microphone to be of mediocre quality and completely indifferent to me since I already have an external microphone on my computer.

    In summary, for 20 euros you get a headset with satisfactory sound and bass, as long as you get used to its flaws like I did.

    A very commendable mouse from a company I didn't know much about. A great solution for a budget mouse that has impressed me and served me well during the first year I have owned it. Excellent matte texture that gives you the feeling of an expensive mouse and not a cheap plastic one, its surface does not easily show dirt and it is overall very beautiful. Satisfactory feedback from both the main buttons and the two hotkeys it has on the left side, the only thing I didn't like was the feel of the scroll wheel, which was very rough and awkward throughout scrolling. It has a dedicated DPI button for quick speed adjustment and a fairly bright LED on that button (the same does not apply to the logo). The small details that left me completely satisfied were the cloth cable that connects the mouse to the computer and the gold-plated USB.

    A completely value-for-money recommendation and highly recommended.
