Motherboard for 3700X

[rJake]

Hi, I am looking to upgrade my i5-7500 to the new Ryzen 7 3700X, but since I have a tight budget I will only be able to pay a maximum of about £120 ($150) on a new motherboard, which means I will probably be looking at getting a high-end B450. In your guys' opinion what would be the best choice of a motherboard for this chip around that price range?

it's probably not useful information but I also have a 980ti OC and 2x8GB 3000MHz RAM.

Legit you can get an msi x570 a pro, or an ASRock phantom gaming x570 for around $150, though they probably aren't the greatest

A b450 or x470 board in that price range or lower even should work fine with a 3700x. You might even be able to get a bundle deal and save some money. Or wait for a b450 MAX or the b500 boards to come out. From what I have read and watched I don't know if I would look at x570 boards under the 200 dollar mark. Like maybe the gigabyte auros elite. Honestly I am not a fan of the fan cooled chipsets on the x570s.

MSI B450 Gaming pro carbon ac is about $120 or so. Some people, and I stress some people have had issues updating the BIOS using BIOS flash back but the recent BIOS updates by MSI have apparently fixed alot of the previous issues. If it doesn't work you could just send it back and get another. I'm going to get one to go with a ryzen 7 3700x too.
