Is Asus H310M-K R2.0 compatible with i3-9100f
Hello, I need help because i want to build my first entry level gaming pc and idk if motherboard Asus H310M-K R2.0 compatible with i3-9100f or i should go with Gigabyte H310M M.2 2.0 if it's compatible, my budget is not high about 300$-350$ you can recommend me cheap motherboard that will be good other things i want to buy are:
Graphics card: Used Rx 570
Processor: Used I3-9100f
Power Supply: : SeaSonic S12II 520w 80+ Bronze
Case: Powerlogic t5x II pro Black
And I am only having problem with the motherboard...

Clearly a reviewer that was paid to say that, because in reality, A320 is just awful for the price while B450 doesn't cost much more, usually around the same price.

Again: No overclocking support for CPU or RAM, horrible VRM that will limit a lot of CPUs, bad RAM compatibility, and probably no access to PBO either which is a huge disadvantage.

No less than B450, the A series chipset isn't worth buying.
U think i am living on money or what?
Your money would literally be better off used on an H410+10100F than an A320+1600AF. This is the cheapest tier of hardware worth buying, so if that's too much for you, you're better off getting a PS5/XBSX.

Granted, the new consoles are going to give a better experience regardless because you're only using an RX 570 which is quite a bit below what the consoles can do.

Tons of people regretted buying A320 in the end, so if you choose not to listen, it's your own fault.

Advantages of B450 over A320:
1. Manual Overclocking support for the CPU and RAM
2. Precision Boost Overdrive support (potentially, depends on board and BIOS)
3. Additional PCi-e 2.0 lanes from the chipset (in case you ever need to add more expansion cards, really)
4. Higher memory support (A320 only supports up to 3200 and often struggles reaching even 3000; 2933 is often the limit which is a problem for newer CPUs, affecting upgradability negatively. B450 boards like the HDV R4 can handle 3200 MHz without problems and potentially higher, like 3600 CL16 which is necessary for 3000 series and newer to get ideal performance)
Is there like something i buy it and there is no bios or something like that to happen?

No, the motherboard will come with a BIOS. The software has to be present for anything to happen when the system is powered on.

No BIOS, no PC. If there's no BIOS, the system can't POST, so it will not boot up. BIOS basically tells the motherboard what to do with all of the information it has, so without it, nothing happens when you power on the system.

Chances are, all B450 motherboards leaving the factory in the last year comes with a Ryzen 3000 series ready BIOS, so BIOS is not going to be an issue.

For 70$ very nice motherboard...

And are these components worth to buy for 450-$: Case T5X II PRO BLACK, PSU: SeaSonic S12II 520w 80+ Bronze, GPU: RX 570 4GB, MOBO: As you said ASRock B450M-HDV, CPU: As i said Ryzen 5 1600 AF?

Around the same as the 2600 because the 1600-AF is basically just a 2600.

Used price differs by location and the seller/buyer deal

In my country new is about 120-150$, so what do you think what is max for used?

As cheap as you can find it, really

are you near a microcenter?

pick the store location at the top ($20 discounts are in store only)

amd bundles with decent board
https://www.microcenter.com/search/search_results.aspx?Ntk=all&sortby=pricelow&N=4294834665+4294813597+4294818045+4294815402&myStore=true
$260+tax for 3600 + b450m board

intel bundles with good boards
https://www.microcenter.com/search/search_results.aspx?Ntk=all&sortby=pricelow&N=4294834665+4294813598+4294818045&myStore=true
$285+tax for the 9600k+z390 board

9600k is a faster cpu, even more so overclocked, but requires good cooling to overclock

I gave up on this, I will go for ultra mega low budget pc: GTX 750 Ti, RX 560 or r7 260x gpu they are aroud 50-60 euros here used, Ryzen 3 1200AF or Ryzen 3 2200g they are here used around 80euros, 8gb ram 2 sticks 4gb, 500w psu and myb a320m-* mobo for around 50-60 euros, enough for me to play Warzone or Apex Legends without my fps dropping down under 30 on low settings.

both R3 1200 AF and 3 2200G are worse than I3 10100F
Your budgeting priorities are wrong when it comes to gpu, you are wasting money on worse gpus than you currently have, RX 570 even in it´s 4GB variant, runs circles around GTX 750 Ti, RX 560 and R7 260X. If you already have RX 570 4GB then don´t bother with those gpus
The R5 1600 AF on B450 with RX 570 4GB will last you much longer. Escorve´s advice (and others) regarding the A320 motherboards are valid, it is literally worth it to pay extra for the B450.
A320 motherboards is literally like the worst series of motherboards you can slap a Ryzen CPU on. If you can shoot for a I5 10400F/11400F and a B560 mobo you will have a much stronger CPU but considering the circumstances that you have to work with, it´s probably not possible.
