Looking for a new mobo

I've got a prebuilt PC that shipped with a pretty crappy motherboard (ASRock A320M-DVS R4.0 AM4) which doesn't even have an M.2 slot and from what I've seen online it doesn't leave much room for upgradeability considering my components (they basically put the cheapest possible motherboard they could find). Also for some reason it has the solder points for an M.2 slot but no actual slot. So I want a mid-range mobo that will allow me to comfortably upgrade my gpu in the future if needed without overheating the VRMs or causing stability issues, and of course an M.2 slot. My current specs are:

  • AMD Ryzen 7 3700X
  • 16GB DDR4 RAM
  • 480GB Intenso SATA 3 SSD (windows 10 boot drive)
  • 2TB HDD
  • Nvidia RTX 2070 by Zotac
  • ASRock motherboard
  • 650W Seasonic PSU

This is my case: https://aerocool.io/product/cylon/

I don't live in the US so here's a link to a local site I'd like to buy from: https://www.pcgarage.ro/

(keep in mind you may not get the right results if you search in english, so just search the component names and not any words)

If anyone could help me find a new mobo that would be great, thanks alot in advance!

Hi

 

A few options would be:

 

MSI B550- A PRO, B550 Gaming Edge Wifi, B550 Tomahawk

 

Gigabyte B550 Aorus Elite ATX

 

Asus B550 TUF ATX, B550-F

 

 

Any of those are fine for a 3700X.

Are you planning to overclock your CPU once you get the new motherboard?

RGB is very overrated.
