New Mobo for Ryzen

Hey, I'm new to the in depth tech specs with computers, especially Motherboards, so since I'm upgrading to Ryzen. I'm in need of a new mobo since sadly i'm coming from a Xeon, then again Ryzen is a new socket type... But anyway. I've been looking around, And from what I've read, I know I should get an X370, But besides that. I'm unsure of what else to actually look for. So, Is there a guide out there on what's important, or one specifically for Ryzen. Or should I link the motherboards i'm looking at, and just have someone who knows their stuff look over them and tell me what they think in their opinion. 

Btw, I'm not sure if what I'm using them for changes what I would be better off getting. But I just plan on Gaming, streaming, recording. Overclocking etc. The basics I guess

 

Thanks in advance to anyone that can help :)

If you aren't planning to use SLI, then B350. If you want to SLI, then get x370. Though x370 boards look better imo, its totally up to you

I plan on getting an after market 1080ti when they come out. So i doubt I'll be Sli'ing that anytime soon. But the X370's look great. So i might just pay the extra. But between all of them, is there that much of a difference, Or am i just paying for certain bells and whistles?
