Which motherboard should i go for?

Any performance diff between these two? The right one is ugly but a full ATX. The on the left will save me eq. to 31$ US. Which one should i get? not really looking for OC and planning to run a Ryzen 5 5600x on these boards.

If your trying to save money the left one will be better, especially since all you have is a 5600x

Gaming X is better with regards to VRM performance, but with a 5600x the m will be fine.

A big consideration may be case fans, itx boards have less because board space is at a premium. So if you want to plug in several fans without using fan splitters you're better off with the atx.
For stock operation I don't think there'd be a performance difference

The main reason you get an ATX board anymore is because you have expansion cards to put in. My computer has all but one of its PCI-E slots full, and that's because the heatsink on my 5700XT is too big. 

 

If you're just building a gaming PC and are only going to run a video card in it, yeah ATX will be bigger than you need.

or, you like a case, and want it to look good. (matx in atx case looks really bad)

I would've happily paid the difference for the full ATX board but the thing is that the board is so ugly, it's making me want to re-consider. I originally wanted the Aorus B550 v2 elite (Full ATX) but it's out of stock and i can't find one anywhere.
