Looking for best budget am4 motherboard to pair with Ryzen 7 2700x and a Radeon R9 280

[EL86]

I want to build a desktop for the first time and have pretty much all of the "expensive" parts except for the motherboard. I'm hoping to spend ~$70 (or less) on it, although I'm willing to spend more if it's really worth it (future proofing, io, ect.)

Any used midranger b3/450 or even x3/470 like the pro4/steel legend, gaming plus/tomahawk, aorus elite, strix -f, etc. Should be ~50$ nowadays

 

And whered you get the cpu and gpu anyways? cause the 2700x is a pretty awful buy considering the 3600(x) is ~50$ and demolishes it especially in singlecore stuff like games, and the r9 280 will get annihilated by a used polaris card like the rx 570/580 which can be had for peanuts nowadays (4gb can go as low as 35$ usually ~40$, 8gb ~50$) with performance equivalent to a 1060

A used B450 motherboard would usually fill this role pretty well for a good option on a budget.

Are there any specific features you're looking for? Future proofing isn't something I recommend, but anything that you'd need that you actually plan on using is a must for up-front.
