So im upgrading from an i7 3770k cpu, p8h61 mxR2.0 motherboard and 16gb hyperx 1600mhz ddr3 ram

to a ryzen 5 3600 cpu, 16gb corsair 3200mhz ddr4 ram and i was going to get ASRock B450M Pro4 motherboard but from looking at frequently bought the MSI B450 GAMING PLUS was recommended 

can anyone help into choosing the better motherboard? im not a super overclocking nerd but i do want to overclock to get some more performance, i have a noctua NH-D14 cooler (just need the adapter), which i think should be plenty of cooling for my overclocking needs

The B450 Pro is more than enough for the 3600 CPU, but for sure I would get a better quality model like Steel legend.
