MSI X570-A Pro or Asus B550M-K

Hello. I could get the mobos for the same price, which one should I go for? From what I’ve heard the MSI isn’t the best X570 board? And comes with a somewhat buggy bios?

 

I’d toss in a 5800X.

Definitely the x570 although the vrms are kinda trash, not gonna be as bad as a god awful asus m-k board

 

Look for other boards though, maybe even look for used b450 boards

The X570-A Pro all day every day. The B550M-K is up with some of the worst B550 boards you can get, and is significantly worse than the X570-A Pro. Even if the BIOS is slightly buggy, unless you're planning on doing all core OCs with the 5800X (which on Ryzen CPUs generally isn't a great idea) you're not gonna spend more than a few minutes in there every now and then, so it being a little buggy isn't really that big a deal (though odds are it's been fixed by this point).
