Is there a reason you need a $350 board? If you want to overclock (which Ryzen 3000 doesn't do well, regardless) you could get the MSI Gaming Pro Carbon for $320. If you still want a quality board, but cheaper, you could stick with the one you've chosen or get this MSI Gaming Edge board. I personally don't recommend Asus boards due to nothing but poor experiences with them in the past, but many users here swear by them.

 

If you don't plan on overclocking go with the cheaper boards, they will be more than enough.

QUOTE ME IF YOU WANT A REPLY!

The tuf for around $200 is a solid board, one of the best at its price point. But it isn't necessary unless you're looking for solid VRM performance and all the bells and whistles that accompany X570 boards, because there are quality B450 boards out here if you're after sheer CPU performance

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

ASUS X570-TUF is actually really good for the price - lot's of I/O, solid VRM, version with WiFi... The only downside is that it only has 2 x16 PCIe slots, with the bottom one being wired to the chipset at x4 electrical, so if you need 2 PCIe slots connected directly to the CPU Czech out the ASUS X570-PRO

Assume USD?

 

At current prices it's hard to beat the Asus TUF board, at this point only Gigabyte Elite board competes well with it. Otherwise you could raise the spending to around $300 for Asrock Taichi, Asus Strix-E or Gigabyte Master.

Ew no, you might as welk buy a B450 Carbon AC for the Wifi. Its power delivery is trash compared to Asus and Gigabyte board near its price

That's what I went with...MSI B450 Gaming Pro Carbon AC, probably the king of B450 boards, it has a great feature set, very good VRMs and it maxes my 3700x. There really is no need to go to X570 for 3700x and under.

 

BUT, if I was going to go to 3900x, i would go to x570, probably the ASUS X570 TUF PLUS (wifi). You won't have to sell a body part to pay for it and its power delivery is solid
