I am really confused which one to purchase MSI Unify x570 or Tomahawk x570. I do not overclock my system and like to everything at stock level.

 

I only game, code and stream.

 

I am basically looking for a solid board that can handle at least 3 years of Graphics card update at ease.

 

Currently I purchased Asus Dark Hero but, will be returning it as I guess it is too overkill for my needs since I do not overclock.

 

Please suggest me which one to go for as I want to place an ordee today.

Unify is the best looking board on the market hands down. I love my TUF, but I'd change it for a unify in a hearbeat

But other than the asthetics how does it perform against Tomahawk? Is it better than Tomahawk or should I stick with Asus Dark Hero. Currently i did not even unboxed the board.

are you going to be heavily overclocking?

I am not a overclocker and like to keep everything at stock level. So basically looking for solid board which can handle future graphics card and minor updates. Budget is not an issue but also don't want to waste on something that I will be not using. For example I found out that Asus dark hero is for heavy overclockers, which is why I will be returning it since I don't need all that extra horse power

X570 is completely useless for your case then. A B550 Aorus Elite will be a better choice, exception power delivery for a solid price point. X570 has only a few advantages over B550, none of those you will use. Such as chipset fan + PCIe Gen 4 on multiple slots + higher quality vrms. Just stick with B550 as the new ryzen cpu's will most likely be on a different socket anyways.

Thanks a lot Mate. Let me check out Aorus Elite B550
