ASrock in general is better. They have quality products. The asrock i posted has a few more features.

 

If you want to budget a bit more you can go with the MSI gaming pro x470 (though not as good as any of the others above. Or I'd go with the best all arounder b450 which is the msi tomahawk which has a ton of excellent reviews online. I am just not sure if the ryzen 3000's will work with b450. 3000's should work with x470 with some sort of bios update most likely.

The k4 motherboard is normally $169 but is on sale right now for $144 individually (nonbundle)

 

or

x470 gaming k4 isnt as good as taichi but its close to the price point of your asus bundle you originally posted.

 

if you have a more flexible budget then i would go with this (the only asus i would buy other than the b450 strix)

Was there a b450 strix bundle on there ?

 

I mean it would only be $100 more for me to get that what will be the benefits ?

So confused now thought I had this all figured out

asus crosshair doesnt provide much more. ASrock is a very good quality board.
