I'd say to go with the b450 tomahawk unless you need features that it doesn't have. Has pretty good VRMs for OC, and has bios flashback.

Please quote my post, or put @paddy-stone if you want me to respond to you.

B450 unless you plan on doing some serious overclocking. B450 will provide a decent overclock however, you wont be able to push it too far before your VRM's begin to overheat.

Intel Core i7 9700F / Cooler Master 212 Evo / GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER / 16 GB G.SKILL RAM @ 2666MHz / GA-B365M-DS3H / EVGA 500w PSU

HP Pavilion Gaming 15 / Ryzen 5 4600H / GeForce GTX 1050 / 8 GB @ 3200MHz

I recommend Gigabyte Ultra Durable B450M series. I've purchased several of these board with intel and amd chipsets of past builds, never had an issue. The only MSI board I owned ended up dying on me.

Just my personal opinion. You'll have others who will likely recommend MSI or Asus over Gigabyte.

Intel Core i7 9700F / Cooler Master 212 Evo / GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER / 16 GB G.SKILL RAM @ 2666MHz / GA-B365M-DS3H / EVGA 500w PSU

HP Pavilion Gaming 15 / Ryzen 5 4600H / GeForce GTX 1050 / 8 GB @ 3200MHz
