While "best" is totally subjective and conditional (best for what?), I'll go out on a limb an say the Asus TUF Gaming X570. It's a really good all around board for virtually anything, and is consistently available for $180.

CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D · Cooler: Noctua NH-D15S Chromax.black · Motherboard: Gigabyte Auros X670 Elite AX · RAM: G.Skill Flare X5 64GB (2 x 32GB) DDR5 6000MHz CL30 · Graphics Card: Zotac NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Super Twin Edge OC 12GB · Boot Drive: 1TB XPG Gammix S70 Blade NVMe SSD · Game Drive: 2TB WD SN850X NVMe SSD · PSU: Seasonic Focus GX V3 1000W 80+ Gold · Case: Fractal Design North Mesh · Monitor: MSI Optix MAG342CQR 34” UWQHD 3440x1440 144Hz · Keyboard: EPOMAKER x Aula F99 Wireless Mechanical Keyboard · Mouse: Logitech G309 Lightspeed Wireless Gaming Mouse

would wait for new CPU if they are going to be boom.

Still what cpu? 

And with a 3600, would also go with a b550 board or a b450 one.

Anyways without knowing the budget : 

b450, tomahawk max, mortar max, pro 4, a pro max (non m) pro vdh max, TUF PRO S. 

b550, tomahawk, mortar, aorus pro, steel legend, strix f, a pro, pro vdh. 

X570, Tomahawk or the TUF or if you really couldn't find them, aorus elite.

best rgb x570,  asrock steel legend

It's far from the best. Even compared to other rgb boards.

intel cpu oc requires overpriced z chip mobo 

no way this could give any good value, while amd  offers good overclocking mobo b450 for $80 or less

how much OC headroom does ryzen have compared to intel, averagely?

 

which b450 board would you recommendsay for a 3600? tomahawk max?

im not too familiar with z490 but the b450 tomahawk max isnt that cheap either

 

coupled with OP's main intention is for gaming, 10600K outperforms 3600, so even if the boards are more expensive, it might just be worth it in OP's use case

 

i OC-ed both 9600k and 3900x

i've had a much better experience OC-ing the 9600k, while the 3900x made me contemplate going back to intel because of how crap the bios OC is

-sigh- feeling like I'm being too negative lately

Not the guy you're replying to, but I hadn't heard of this actually.  Could you elaborate?

Compared to AMD’s PBO (Precision Boost Overdrive), manual overclocking can actually perform worse as all the cores are locked to a single speed, whereas with PBO it can boost a single or multiple cores, increasing single or multithreaded performance where needed.

meaning intel withheld its perf unless you pay to unlock

Fine then, the same thing is going on with AMD. They just released A520, you have to pay more as they are withholding performance.
