X570 Pro4

B550 Aorus Elite

TUF Gaming B550

And 170 USD MAG B550M Mortar

the tuf or the elite or the mortar are good, the pro 4 is a joke, using 4 SM4337 and 4 SM4336 doubled with uP1911's.

This PC will be used for throwing together 1080p 60fps video and sound from an external mic. Everyday about 6 hours of videos.

Up to now I thought about AMD only. I have my own 1Tb SSD (SATA3, but it is perfectly OK), old GPU (I think it is a GT710), 1Tb HDD, PSU and case. For memory I was going to buy 16Gb of 3200 CL16 Patriot (65 USD).

CPUs:

R5 3600X 195 USD

R5 3600 175 USD

R5 3500X 160 USD

R7 2700 140 USD

R3 3300X 125 USD

For the motherboard I don't know what to choose, something for price expectations (since I don't live in the USA):

GigaByte X570 Gaming X 160 USD

ASRock B550M Steel Legend 155 USD

ASRock B450 STEEL LEGEND 100 USD

What should I get? I have about 370 USD. Later I might buy a GPU for some esports titles.

No, there is a huge list of them, just some of them so it is possible to estimate prices. Is 3600X better than 3600? Or a slight overclock on 3600 will make it the same?

the x isn't worth it unless it's similarly priced.

well to name some: 

for b550: the a pro, pro vdh, mortar, strix f, tomahawk, aorus pro are all good.

for x570: the tomahawk and the tuf.

for b450: the tomahawk max, mortar max, pro 4, a pro max (non m), pro vdh max are also good.

they'll work though i don't know how prices are where you live.

Am I right that only B550 & X570 are 100% working with 3rd gen Ryzen out of the box and B450 might need a BIOS update? There is a B550M Pro4 for 120USD. Also, what is the difference between b450, b550 and x570?

b550 allows the lanes that are wired to the cpu to be gen 4.

x570's pcie slots are all gen 4 (wired to the cpu or chipset).

b450 is gen 3.

MSI'S max boards ship with zen 2 support and most b450 boards do at this point.

X570 Pro4

B550 Aorus Elite

TUF Gaming B550

And 170 USD MAG B550M Mortar

Which one would you recommend?

the tuf or the elite or the mortar are good, the pro 4 is a joke, using 4 SM4337 and 4 SM4336 doubled with uP1911's.

Thanks a lot, I think I will go with the ASUS. If I am not mistaken, local VRM tier suggests that it can handle more power. And it has a nice USB C which I might need one day.
