Gigabyte vs Aorus

[Darkness_Val]

I'm looking into getting a new MOBO and I was thinking of going B550. I'm stuck on getting the Aorus Master or the Gigabyte Vision D. I know that Gigabyte owns Aorus just like Asus owns ROG and TUF but what I would like to know is that is there a difference between Gigabyte and Aorus in stuff like build quality, software, BIOS, Longevity, etc. I also would like to know which board I should go with or if anyone has any recommendations? Thanks

Aorus vs. Gigabyte is sort of like Asus ROG vs. Asus TUF: one is marketed as a more 'premium' brand, while the other is marketed as a more 'budget' brand. In reality, the difference varies wildly product-to-product, and there usually isn't a clear reason to go with one or the other. Just go with the motherboard which has the features that you need, at the most reasonable price. There's not going to be a huge difference in build quality between the two (although the Aorus one might have more fancy lights).

Techincally the b550 aorus master is better, though i wouldn't go with either one of them, the vision D is overpriced for what it offers and the master is a 300 dollar b550 board. 

Budget for a board? location and currency? and what are you powering?

I'm in the US. $300 dollars is the max. I'm powering a R7 3800x with a RX 5700 XT with 32gb ram at 3600mhz. Looking to upgrade to Ryzen 5000 probably a 5700x or 5900x and Big Navi when they come out

 

(EDIT: I honestly don't care if its B550 OR X570, I'm looking for the best mobo that dont cost alot but has the features to support the components I have now and will support future components if and when I decide to upgrade)

All of these boards are quite good and will easily handle even the 16 core or the x570 tomahawk if you can find one, if you want a white board, the b550 strix A is quite good.
