Oh also, as you said before:
Sorry for nagging but I would like your thoughts on the new thread as well, considering I don't ever intend on pushing any cpu I'd get to it's absolute limit. Obviously, the Tomahawk will have better power delivery than both of those boards, but I'm having some trouble double checking how much worse they are and if they'd still be okay.

I was primarily checking this list just to make sure I'm buying something that's not terrible, and from the looks of it even the B550 tomahawk is well above the Aorus - that's really the only reason I said it   Mind you I'm also looking for general reliability, not just OC headroom (that's the main reason I overbought my PSU a bit, so I could be sure it will comfortably last me for a while) so a bit overkill on the VRMs is fine by me, hahah
I'm fine with having less of the fast usbs, I'm not too worried about that - as long as I have 1-2 it's cool. As for the other stuff, like I've said I doubt I'll be getting even one gen4 m.2 drive, let alone multiple so I definitely don't care about that. 
 
Yeah, fair enough. From the looks of it, the B550 should be enough for me as I'm already paying a lot for the mobo as is. 
If those are generally all of the benefits of the X570 chipset then I'm definitely not too worried about missing out on them, especially now that the B550 boards have dropped in price and are a bit more reasonable.

Tomahawk is "better" (saying that in quotes as youll never notice the difference). Elite is drmos, tomahawk is sps and at (rediculous overkill) higher rating.
 
With 3600 or 3700 and alike youll never notice the difference (or even have the need for such strong vrms).
 
X570 has more fast usb (might matter to you) and option for more than 1 m.2 pcie4 (which youll only ever notice in benchmarks and even then only if you buy crazy expensive nvme drives).
 
Keep in mind that x570 has a fan, which not everyone is a fan of (badum-tssss).
 
If id had to swap boards and these where the teo options, id go with the b550 tomahawk over the elite, but thats just personal opinion, only you can decide.
 

Considering it's gonna probably take at least half a year for everything to really calm down (I hope it doesn't take longer at least, but I doubt it'll be over sooner than that too), I guess I might go with it. Checking some amazon price history sites for reference though, it doesn't look like I'd be getting that awful of a deal (At least for the proc), and comparing some other older motherboards and their price trends, I might be losing out on a bit of a price drop, but fingers crossed that it's not too much - especially considering b550 is still relatively new and would have higher prices regardless of the current situation. 

yes, the b550 tomahawk is an excellent board with adequate features, quality VRMs and good thermals.

I'm very aware of that. I'd just like to mess with my pc and get some upgrades done to freshen it up for the next couple of years and get it ready for gpu upgrades. As said, I'm going to wait for newer gpus anyway, particularly big navi, as I hope it'll offer good performance at a way better price than novideo - as said before, something akin to a 2070(S) would be more than enough for me, at least for a while.
