im upgrading my motherboard after some system issues, I used to have a ROG STRIX B450-F but I wand to upgrade to something a bit better, Im using a Ryzen 5 3600 and a GTX 1070.

im hoping to stay under 250 (where I live it hard to find good deals on pc parts) and if posable stay in the strix family of motherboards.

You can barely get performance improvement on upgrading a motherboard.

Unless you really need PCIe 4.0 by upgrading to B550/X570, otherwise I'd suggest save your money on 3060/3070 upgrades(around November-Next year I guess)
