Good ATX motherboard for a Ryzen 7 3700x. $100-$140

Hello I am currently looking at changing out my old motherboard which is a micro ATX to a ATX. I have looked at some other boards. I thought that the Gigabyte B450 Aorus pro WIFi would be a good one possibly. I just want a few more to look at so I can make the right choice when I comes to a mother board.

Thanks for the help

location and currency or is it just USD? also what is your current board? 

But the b450 aorus pro is just an overpriced meh board at best.

Gigabyte's B450 boards are really poor, and if it's in the $100-140 bracket, that's even worse.

I definitely wouldn't get it, unless you don't plan on upgrading from the 3700X and/or don't plan on overclocking at all.

Motherboard tier list. Tier A for overclocking 5950x. Tier B for overclocking 5900x, Tier C for overclocking 5800X. Tier D for overclocking 5600X. Tier F for 4/6 core Cpus at stock. Tier E avoid.

(Also case airflow matter or if you are using Downcraft air cooler)

Spoiler

 

Gpu tier list. Rtx 3000 and RX 6000 not included since not so many reviews. Tier S for Water cooling. Tier A and B for overcloking. Tier C stock and Tier D avoid.

( You can overclock Tier C just fine, but it can get very loud, that is why it is not recommended for overclocking, same with tier D)

Spoiler

 

Psu tier List. Tier A for Rtx 3000, Vega and RX 6000. Tier B For anything else. Tier C cheap/IGPU. Tier D and E avoid.

(RTX 3000/ RX 6000 Might run just fine with higher wattage tier B unit, Rtx 3070 runs fine with tier B units)

(With a grain of salt, I use tier C for OS myself)

I want ATX due to the fact with my current mATX the GPU is almost sitting on my SATA3 connections. That is why I want a ATX.

For around 140 bucks? sadly not ones that are really decent iirc, if you need wifi you can just get an extension card later on, but the b550 a pro is a pretty good ATX board for around 140 bucks.

If I have to go little more expensive I will. So if you have another i can go to $160. If there is another board that is a little better ATX motherboard. Also Okay
