whats a good motherboard for the ryzen 5 5600g?

Depends on your budget.

This computer site lists all the compatible Motherboards for the Ryzen 5 5600G: https://pcpartpicker.com/products/motherboard/?compatible_with=sYmmP6&__cf_chl_captcha_tk__=pmd_7STD...

The Asus Crosshair is one of the most expensive but very good Motherboard for around $450.00 or you can buy a cheap Motherboard for around $89.00 dollars.

I would use the highest chipset driver, here probably the X570. The rest is the price-performance ratio and what else you want on the motherboard. The most stable components are also important. I have a GiBy X399 Aorus Pro (300 euros) with Threadripper 1900X 8core 4 Ghz (150 euros) because the newer Ryzen 8core were too expensive for me.

Having just upgraded to the Ryzen 7 3700x, I got this to go with it TUF GAMING X570-PLUS.

Asus are always my go to Motherboards.

It is a great stable mobo and the Ryzen worked out of the box and easy bios upgrades too.

I build PC's for people and always recommend Asus, a little more expensive but good.

I agree I am also a Asus fan. I, myself, when I upgraded from a Asus AM3+ Motherboard to a Ryzen I chose the Asus TUF Gaming X570 Pro WiFi which has worked out very well so far.

@ofd654  make sure the Motherboard you choose has a BIOS FLASHBACK button feature on it. That way if the Motherboard comes with the wrong BIOS version you won't need to have another CPU to update the BIOS.

My last motherboard for over 6 years was an Asus Sabbertooth 990X. Unfortunately, in October 2020 the Asus TR4 segment was very expensive (200 euros more) and I opted for the Gigabyte X399 Pro for 300 euros and haven't regretted it.

@elstaci 

Agreed,ASUS here as well,

Had the TUF Sabertooth 990FX V3.0 board,no issues whatsoever

Now one on the Crosshair VII X470 and this one on The Crosshair VIII X570 Dark.Super stable.Plus I love the Quality of the components.

That is way too expensive for me (4000?), Maybe if you won the lottery, my new only tower complete Gigabyte Aorus with Threadripper 8 Core 4 Ghz cost almost 1700 euros in November 2020.

[Flyfisherman]

Why do You want a Threadripper?
That is very expensive and for ordinary user it is overkill for gaming, ordinary office tasks and some photo/video editing.
What are You going to use the computer for?

There are other powerful AMD Zen 3 CPUs.

In October 2020 the price for the Threadripper 8 Core 4 GHz processor and the circuit board was € 150, significantly cheaper than a comparable Ryzen with MoBo. That will be enough for about 5-6 years. Otherwise I upgraded the processor in the meantime, but it is overall more expensive than sufficient and therefore I did not want a 6 core.

I would recommend Asus Tuf Gaming Pro x570 wifi.

there is also a new model but I didn't try. Basically the same specs.
