I am doing my first PC build for gaming. My budget is around £500. I am deciding between the Gigabyte b450m ds3h or the Asrock b450 pro4. Or are there any other better motherboards under around £70?

the pro4 is the better board, alternatively the X370-pro is much better for 76 pounds.

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X Heatsink: Gelid Phantom Black GPU: Palit RTX 3060 Ti Dual RAM: Corsair DDR4 2x8GB 3000Mhz mobo: Asus X570-P case: Fractal Design Define C PSU: Superflower Leadex Gold 650W

The DS3H bios is f%$ed up since F30, i downgraded to F4 which seem to be the most stable. With F30,F31 and F32 sound was not working even through the GPU and F40 was not even stable with stock settings... Gigabyte B450M DS3H, Ryzen 2400G, Nitro+ RX 580, Team Vulcan 3000mhz 

Main System: Ryzen 2700, Asus Crosshair VII Hero, EVGA GTX 1080ti SC, 970 EVO Plus NVMe, Crucial Ballistix 3200mhz CL14, CM H500, CM ML240L cpu cooler.

Second System: Ryzen 2400G, Gigabyte B450 DS3H, RX 580 Nitro+, Kingston A400 SSD, Team T-Force 3200mhz CL15

If it ain't overclocked it ain't good...

The b450 Pro4 is the better board. Assuming you live in europe, you can get the AsRock X370 pro motherboard for under $70, which is even better.

oh. it's not actually any better though, it's just a B350M Pro4 with an X370 chipset.

Oh. How do you know though? Like, where did you learn that? I didn't realize it was.

the spec page is completely identical, same with the appearance. mobo manufacturers seem to like doing this with AM4 boards, which is why you see shit like all the 300-series chipsets having the same HDV board from asrock.

Don't forget that if you buy a 300 chipset you will need a Ryzen 1000 to update the bios if you plan to use a 2000 or 3000 Ryzen.

Main System: Ryzen 2700, Asus Crosshair VII Hero, EVGA GTX 1080ti SC, 970 EVO Plus NVMe, Crucial Ballistix 3200mhz CL14, CM H500, CM ML240L cpu cooler.

Second System: Ryzen 2400G, Gigabyte B450 DS3H, RX 580 Nitro+, Kingston A400 SSD, Team T-Force 3200mhz CL15

this is not always necessary, BIOS may already be updated from the factory.

Always depends on when the motherboard was produced and have been laying on the shelf, but its most likely he will need to update it then not having to.
