The only thing MSi is king at is at their gaming marketing that inflates their prices :P

 

But since OP is not even bothering with overclocking his components the MSi board will work out as well, grab the cheapest in this case.

So as the title says

Msi b350 tomahawk or asus b350 prime plus ?

I don't know a lot about Asus B350 Plus, but at a glance - it doesn't have USB Type-C connector (Tomahawk does, and also supports high-power USB mode for fast charging), also the on-board audio is inferior to MSI Tomahawk. On the other hand - it has 2 extra USB ports on the back panel, and the m.2 is above the PCI-E slots. On Tomahawk, the m.2 sits below the PCI-E x16 slot, which means that you will have to remove the GPU to install the m.2 device. However, Tomahawk has steel reinforcement around the PCI-E x16 slot, while Prime has regular plastic.

MSI is struggling with memory OC and their BIOS, and Asus is currently one of the best for Ryzen support. But the tomahawk has more features like @Red____14 pointed out.

MSI is decent. i have the b350 pro carbon. only caveats are: RAM overclocking (can get 2933mhz with 3200mhz sticks) with latest stable BIOS; confusing BIOS UI; slightly long POST times (seems to also affect PC wake-up time)

Hey are you the guy that recommends a site for checking spec for A TV? Anyway i think B350 Gaming Pro Carbon can be my choice if i make a new system
