Jesus christ guys , so many options , chill off...

I just want a mobo worth every buck running at 2800mhz ram , good quality , warranty that it wont become charcoal within 1 year of usage and below 200$ (-150$ preferable)

The way to go is Asus Prime X370 Pro mobo. 

Its very reliable, has strong and very efficient VRMs.

Invest into 16GB Kit of G.Skill Flare-X 3200MHz C14, it is the best for Ryzen

The ASRock Taichi is the best overclocker but expensive. the ASRock Pro4 is good, so is the B350 Strix

It's not that bad but I would definitely have gone with an asus board if I could go back. The asus strix-f is what i would get at that price point. a very capable board that is very good for the price. had they had it when the R7 cpus released I would have gotten that instead.

I like my orange though...

 

But I have to agree, If you can get the STRIX-F board at this price, I would go for it. If you aren't planning to SLI.

noone can beat my AM4 mobo knowledge

For R7 1700 are optimal these:

Asus X370 Prime Pro

Asus X370-F Gaming

Crosshair 6 (pick whatever you want)

Any ASRock X370

Gigabyte X370 Gaming K7/ Gaming 5

all other ones are trash and i can give you reason for every board

Tomahawk is the biggest trash and i can prove that

It overclocks just fine. The memory comparability was just crap compared to the other boards as far as getting high frequency running. It is alot better now with the microcode update but I would still get the asus strix-f as it is just going to be a better choice.

I am honestly confused as to why they wouldn't have released the strix-f on release of AM4. that thing would have probably out sold the other b350 motherboards by a good margin.
