Here’s one from Walmart — the Gigabyte B650 Aorus Elite AX V2 motherboard with a nearly $30 discount, slashing its price down to just $173. The savings will pile up as you buy all the components that you need for your gaming PC, but if you want to take advantage of this bargain, you need to proceed with your purchase right now because it may disappear at any moment.

Why you should buy the Gigabyte B650 Aorus Elite AX V2 motherboard

If this will be your first time, we highly recommend studying our beginner’s guide on how to build a PC, where we mention that the motherboard is the foundation for everything else in your machine. The Gigabyte B650 Aorus Elite AX V2 supports AMD Ryzen 7000 series, AMD Ryzen 8000 series, and AMD Ryzen 9000 series processors, which power some of the best gaming PCs in the market right now. In our discussion of the AMD versus Intel rivalry, we choose AMD processors for gaming desktops, and the Gigabyte B650 Aorus Elite AX V2 motherboard will give you access to them.

The Gigabyte B650 Aorus Elite AX V2 motherboard supports dual-channel DDR5, which is the latest generation of system memory, and it features a thermal design and an M.2 thermal guard that ensures your system’s stability. The motherboard’s EZ-Latch system is quick to release and doesn’t need any screws, which will cut down on the time that you need to build your gaming PC.

While you can enjoy some savings when buying a gaming PC from Black Friday deals, gamers who are willing to build their own machine are in line for even larger discounts. You can start with a motherboard, and you can’t go wrong with the Gigabyte B650 Aorus Elite AX V2. It’s available from Walmart at $27 off, so instead of its original price of $200, you’ll only have to pay $173.
