I am little afraid of msi because the bios problem.

 

Msi on my country have 3 years warranty and asus only 1 year.

 

Which would you choose?

pretty sure that x370 board wont work with 3rd gen ryzen.  you would need at least a x470 board but i would probaly go with the aours pro as they generally tend to have the best vrms

Current Rig=  AMD Ryzen 9 5900x, Asus Crosshair Hero VIII, EVGA RTX 3070 FTW3 ultra, 32gb Corsair Vengence Pro RGB 3000hz White, EVGA 750 P2 PSU, 1TB Samsung 980 Pro, 500gb samsung 860 evo, 250GB Samsung 850 evo, 2TB Samsung 970 Evo Plus, 2TB seagate firecuda sshd,  LianLi PC 011 Dynamic XL ROG edition, Corsair h150i elite capelix

how much are you willing to spend on a motherboard?  What currency are you using?  Do you plan on overclocking?  does the mobo need to be a certant size?
