Ok thanks, and could you say me why the Aorus is better for you?

While both are excellent options, the Gigabyte's Aorus line-up is fairly known for having great VRMs, and good BIOS's and drives. Also, it has a pre-installed io shield ?

Gigabyte B450 Aorus Pro for 93€

Msi B450 Tomahawk for 82€

 

Which one is the best and what differences do you think they have? I plan to OC a 2600 with it, and want to be ready for ryzen 3000 as well, that prices are without taxes i get them like that on amazon due to where i live. I do like more visually the Aorus one, but dont think its worth 11€ more xD also i like the fact that the Aorus one is larger than the MSI. Ive had a microATX and want a big motherboard haha

Jut bite the bullet and get the Aorus one. mATX will usually have worse vrms and they're both B tier on the Motherboard Tier List

Oh, so the MSI B450 tomahawk is mATX?? I definitly want an ATX, if the Aorus is ATX im buying that one, the normal one or the wifi one (more for bluetooth than for wifi xD)

Im looking around and looks like there is a mATX version and an ATX version, we are talking about the ATX version, so both are ATX, which do you recommend then?

Both are ATX, and I would recommend the Aorus Pro
