what does "future proof board" mean???  

Either way, budget? what are you powering? location? currency? are you limited to these? what are they priced at? 

The Hero isn't really a casual user friendly board, so unless you're heavy overclocking/ln2, you could go with something else. 

again though..

I would go Asus over MSI, but that's not because of anything that most would care about, just a bad experience with MSI back in the early 2000s and have been an Asus fan ever since.

Unless you're going to tinker a lot with OC or need a ton of USB connectivity... neither

HELP. I think I've broken my x570 Crosshair. Don't do it! It doesn't let me update the bios, clear the CMOS and more importantly post after a bad overclock.

Isnt the crosshair like 200 usd more expensive? Its probably the better mobo across the board but not really 200 dollars better unless your really into ocing, and ryzen doesnt oc well anyway. 
 

as for future proofing, zen 3 will probably be the last am4 socket ryzen so its a moot point. U could wait for zen 3 and go with that and an x670 mobo which will be unveiled in a littke by ver a week but will probably be hard to find in stock for a couple months.
