Hello, my motherboard is due for an upgrade. I started to give some problems. Due to it's age I want to upgrade to something more modern and future proof. I've researched many Motherboards from Aorus, ASUS, MSI, ASRock. I'm trying to find a X570 All-Rounder and got to the conclusion of the ASRock x570 since it has tons USB 3.1 Gen 2 ports, Good amount of Pcie, USB tyoe-c, Wi-Fi 6, and a little bit of RGB. The problem is that the i can't seem to find the wifi version and the memory speed is limited to 2666 according to amazon. 

My other Option was the Aorus Pro x570, it has wifi 6 integrated and most of the features i'm looking such as USB type c, lots of connectivity freedom, a good Bios and Software, The problem is price and stock, i've seen the motherboard marketed at $259.99, so why is it priced everywhere at 300+ and i also can't seem to find anywhere except amazon.

I'm willing to accept other motherboards suggestions but i do have some boxes to check before upgrading:

 

- Wi-Fi 6, sadly not all of us has access to ethernet ports.

- USB Type-c 

- At least 4+ USB 3.1 Gen 2

- EZ mode Bios (optional)

- $300 USD or less (no more)

- 2 or more N.v.Me Slots

- A bit of RGB (cause i'm connected to my inner child)

- 3000+ Memory Speed (or X.M.P. capable)

- X570 chipset

 

I have a 600 watt PSU, Ryzen 9 3900 (Stock Cpu Fan), MSI RX570, T-Force DDR4 Ram 8x4, 6 MSI Fans (Stock from gungnir Case),  ROG Strixx B-450, 2 Kinston SSD, 1 2TB HDD, 1 500GB N.v.Me SSD.
