Hey so apologies for the nooby question
I have a 3700x and a 2070 super if that's important
I'm looking to change out my motherboard, the one i have has just been causing me issues and has already been RMA-ed etc etc. I'm just looking for a new motherboard.
I was looking at x570 boards then b550 came out and they seem pretty interesting too.
It seems that people like the ASUS ROG Strix B550-E some people say it is quite expensive but i was looking at around $500 (AUD) motherboards anyway. I know there is a cheaper version but that doesn't have front USB-C which is a feature i really want. I was also looking at a MSI MAG B550 Tomahawk as its a decent bit cheaper and seems similarly speced but i've not had great experience with MSI and it has kind of put me off of their boards.
The ROG B550-E also is also in the price range of some (What i think) are pretty good X570 boards like the Gigabyte X570 Aorus Elite Wifi. So i am just really confused as to what i should get.
- Front type C connector is really important to me
- BIOS flashback is also pretty important as whenever i jump into the bios to do anything, i stress real hard about bricking it.
- Decent power delivery is also something i am looking for. Of course i only have a 3700x so its not like i need anything overkill but i do want to overclock some and more is better in terms of power phases.
I think that's it i guess, stuff like fan and RGB headers i don't really care about as i use a corsair commander and already have an AIO and all that.
Sorry if this is kind of rambily and an annoying post, I am just a little anxious about what to get.
