ASUS B550 vs B570

[Raginryuu]

Hi Everyone!

I've got almost everything planned out for my build but wanted to get your opinion. Do I go with the ASUS B550 ITX or the B570 ITX??

Case: Sliger 560 (https://www.sliger.com/products/cases/sm560/)

CPU: Gonna wait for the AMD 4000 series, maybe new ryzen 7 or 9 (we'll see)

GPU: 3080 (Probably ASUS https://www.asus.com/Graphics-Cards/ROG-STRIX-RTX3080-10G-GAMING/specifications/)

 

What I know:

-I need to have the front panel IO for the USB type C (Both board have this I think)

-PCIE graphics 4.0 is probably better for the new 3000 series (Win: B550)

-PCIE M.2 an extra 4.0 is better then only one 4.0 (Win: B570)

-More USB ports in rear io would be nice (Win: B570)

-HDMI 2.1 & Displayport 1.2 vs HDMI 2.0 & Displayport 1.4 (TIE?!)

 

Let me know your thoughts!

PCIE 4.0 Vs 3.0 There is not going to be any noticeable Difference for GPUS.

 

PCIE 4.0 SSDs unless you actually utilize them for workloads, arent really worth buying.

 

Also do note its x570 and b550.

X570 has the same here, PCIe 4.0 for graphics

What is the 3.0 then? (Curious)

The slot will operate in 3.0 mode if you use a CPU that doesn't have PCIe 4.0, like a second gen Ryzen CPU.

Ahhhh so I should go with B550 since they're the same? or I guess X570 for the ports?

X570 if you think you'd use all those ports, for sure. Makes it more convenient not to use a USB hub
