Depends on what specific motherboards you are looking at.

Quality B450 board > bad X470 board.

Check which board is better here: 

and check if the X470 chipset differences make sense for you (I believe more PCI lanes, more USB 3.0).

B450 is fine, especially for the 2600. Don't really need X470 unless you're planning on doing a lot of hardcore overclocking, and that's only really for higher end chips. I highly recommend the MSI B450 Tomahawk/Mortar.

Tomanhawk is a good motherboard but seems to be having issues with the new CPUs, plenty of complains.
Another good and comparable motherboard would be the B450 Steel legend, is around 100$ and it's a very solid motherboard.
