KnAlfred reacted to Haro in Building a new rig and need help with an AX4 MOBO
Are you limited to these? if not..
To name some boards, these are all pretty good.
the main difference between these two is that b550 allows the lanes that are wired to the cpu to be gen 4, while the lanes that are wired to the chipset are gen 3, on x570, it's gen 4 across the whole board, unless you need more gen 4 lanes, b550 is just as good.
Also if you're waiting for zen 3, then you could just wait and buy a board then and not now.

Out of the B550 boards, I'd avoid the Steel Legend if you plan on overclocking a 3900X/3950X. It's not a particularly outstanding board, though it does have one cool feature - a POST code.
To add to the list, I'd consider these:

https://au.pcpartpicker.com/product/qXBhP6/gigabyte-b550-aorus-pro-atx-am4-motherboard-b550-aorus-pro

I wouldn't get neither the X570 Gaming X nor the X570 UD.

the b550 strix-f and b550 tomahawk are excellent, much better than the x570 gaming x and UD models.
i'd also look at the b550 tuf and b550 mortar.
I see you need wifi as well, my recommendations would be these:
Asus TUF GAMING B550M-PLUS (WI-FI)
MSI MAG B550M MORTAR WIFI
Gigabyte B550 AORUS PRO AC
Asus TUF GAMING X570-PLUS (WI-FI)
