  1. NicholasS

    A good mid tier motherboard for light gaming wouldn’t recommend for heavier gaming

  2. UvaJava

    The components for the price is very decent and it looks good!

  3. BrendenG

    Easy set up with easy to follow instructions. Plenty of inputs for peripherals.

  4. AndrewF

    This should have had wifi. Bluetooth is nice but it doesnt have a slot for a top of the line wifi card.

  5. Luis

    Works perfectly, got as a replacement for my old motherboard and it did not disappoint.

  6. DerekC

    For the money, this is a surprisingly good MoBo. I was impressed. The BIOS is incredibly well done and easy to use. The IO ports are tight and well done. The whole board is durable, light, and well-constructed.

  7. Kenny

    B550 gaming plus motherboard worked with my Ryzen 5 2600 until I can upgrade to Ryzen 9..just took a few minutes to load up first time since it had to detect all hardware. it even said memory was in the wrong slots but eventually it configured itself and works great!

  8. BryanY

    Fits perfectly for the aesthetic I’m looking for and really good rgb lighting.

  9. Unknown

    Meets all my needs!!! Great product, made from a company with great standards.

  10. Jahred22

    Items works perfectly, was easy to install. Worth every penny.

  11. LesterW

    Excellent product at a competitive price point. Would highly recommend.

  12. Dann

    Lots of opportunities with this motherboard it works grate

  13. Bella

    Ok so they fixxed it but im still screwed bur very mad at best buy for falsly writting the product info.
    I brought this and everything else that I bought from best. Buy recommended also buy that employee that took it to my computer guide. And then got her home and come to find out. There was no Wi-Fi on this computer. No Wi-Fi I mean and I had search. On their website and it said that it had Wi-Fi. I still have screen captures and it’s probably still listed.

    The product itself is fine It takes this motherbored long time to process the AMD and I’ve got it. I’m like maxed out on everything. I got the processor’s Ram, everything, but the computer is still like. It’s very hot and I’m just like turning it on. You know the motherboard, really it’s taxing. So i’m gonna try changing the power unit and see if that changes anything

  14. TheLions

    Amazing board and signal delivery between the CPU, GPU, and RAM. I have a Radeon 7900 XTX on this board with a AMD 5 series CPU.

  15. Hectorgab87

    Great item for the value. Everything fits well and works

  16. Trever

    In the little time that I’ve owned this motherboard, i absolutely love it. The features, the lights, all 100% worth it for the price

  34. Bottom

    When I bought the MSI B550 GAMING PLUS Motherboard, let’s just say my tech expertise was… nonexistent. The idea of installing it myself was as likely as me winning a marathon. So, I did the smart thing – I handed it over to the pros at Geek Squad.

    Why I Love It (From a Distance):

    1. Looks Cool: It’s got a sleek design that even I can appreciate.
    2. USB-C and PCIE Gen 4: I’ve been told these are good things. They sound impressive!
    3. Fits Perfectly: Thanks to the Geek Squad, it’s sitting perfectly in our PC case, no hiccups.

    My Lifeline: The Geek Squad:
    After purchasing the motherboard and a Best Buy membership (worth every penny), I entrusted this high-tech puzzle to the Geek Squad. They took this mysterious motherboard from me at 7 PM, and by 7 AM the next morning, it was transformed into the heart of a gaming beast.

    For the Tech-Impaired (Like Me):
    If you’re puzzled by anything more complicated than a toaster, I highly recommend the Best Buy care plan. The Geek Squad turned what could have been a DIY disaster into a tech triumph.

    Mom-Approved, Kid-Adored:
    Since its installation, the MSI B550 has become the star of our family’s gaming life. I may not understand all the buzz about ATX and PCIE, but the smiles on my kids’ faces? That I get.

    Conclusion:
    The MSI B550 Gaming Plus is a fantastic piece of technology (so I’ve been reliably informed). If you’re a tech novice, save yourself a headache and let the Geek Squad work their magic. It’s a game-changer, literally.

  35. NickK

    Great board. I only wish it had a second pcie gen 4 m.2 slot. Otherwise, it very easy to build in. Also, can we please redesign graphics card release buttons? It’s so unnecessarily difficult.

  36. Unknown

    Great performance!! Now the games are running smoothly.

  37. ClaudeM

    This was the best motherboard i could have chosen and great customer service!

  38. Johnnyunpossible

    Good motherboard so far, but havent owned it all that long. We shall see, bit as of this moment…its a fine mobo.
    Thumbs-up!

  39. VitaminSketch

    Great Quality, Quick easy to install, ran flawless first try.

  40. DeadlyAdvocate

    This is the bees knees right here worth the money theres a huge difference when you spend this kind of money on a motherboard vs a $100 mobo if you have fast internet youll want a good motherboard and parts for it to get thoae download speeds

  41. MattL

    Amazing product for the price!! Looks amazing as well!! Definitely recommend this board!

  42. JaxtonS

    It is very easy to intall it only took about 10 minutes to fully intall the motherboard and everything else.

  43. DavidS

    great products I’d recommend buying through Best Buy all day! They’re awesome and so is the service!

  44. EaganD

    I love this motherboard!, no WiFi but don’t need it anyways because I have a Ethernet cord. And sick rgb

  45. JacobK

    Great budget motherboard. The subtle RGB is a nice touch.

  46. user165550

    Great low cost moba. Easy to install and great for what it is

  47. Matccc

    Easy to install easy to work with not bad for the price

  48. yeah

    Great motherboard. High quality build, the finish on it is beautiful and its been working very well with my setup.

  49. Carder328

    Combined this with a ryzen 7 5800x for a surprise gift to a friend and fellow gamer who was down on his luck. Working flawlessly with 32gb of corsair at the correct 3200mhz and cl16 timing. No issues to speak of!

  50. K4RM4

    Lots of IO! Large improvements from the old B450M bazooka i had before!
