Like in the title. Which one would you guys go for? This will be my first build.
I went with the Ryzen 5 3600 as CPU, but I see that Tomahawk Max will not require me to do anything and it will just work from the start, while Martar Titanium needs a BIOS update.
Is that true? For now I'm leaning more towards MT but mainly because of how neat it looks. However, the looks is not everything =D 
Let me know what you think.

Anything from MSI with MAX in the name is compatible with 3rd gen ryzen out of the box

 

The tomahawk Max has basically the same vrm as the mortar, so it's really the better pick here

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
