What motherboard is better for my budget?

Gigabyte stacked powerstages like they overdosed their engineers with way too much caffine and got high, which on one hand lets it handle the 9900K with ease but they forgot to wake up the programmers so the BIOS design is still... not really intuitive.
Asus Z390-H is a Z390-P's reskin, itself some random H or B chipset Prime board with overclocking support. Power delivery is not competitive at all, havent tried its memory OC but I'm not surprised if it does worse than what you would expect from Coffee Lake.
Asus Z390-A is a downgraded Z390-F/E (whichever doesn't support wireless), features worsened but VRM and memory OC capabilities are similar (until you put a pro behind the monitor)
MSI is just like the balance between everything, decent mosfets, big heatsinks, a user interface designed for normal humans and not techies only. Sadly this also means there's nothing worth bragging about, its mosfets are still not as powerful nor efficient as powerstages on the Gigabyte Aorus and Asus Z390-A boards, but the BIOS, while designed differently to Asus, is still somewhat intuitive and easy to learn.
Though talking about wasting money for nothing, you can't really go worse than investing on a soon dead platform. 10th gen is already in rumoured stage, which means its official launch will be within half a year.
