The Asrock Fatal1ty B150 Gaming K4 does not support Ryzen. It is for Intel 1151 cpu's. You need a b350 or x370 motherboard for Ryzen.

The B150 Gaming K4 is for Intel socket 1151 CPU's. I assume you meant the B350 Gaming k4?

I got an MSI B350 Mortar (mATX), I still have to find something wrong with it. The only thing is that I still can't reach 3200MHz RAM even with the latest BIOS (should be fixed this month I hope)

Looking at the Asrock website, the B350 Gaming K4 hasn't received a lot of love with BIOS updates, although the Asus B350 Prime has received quite a few.

The Asrock B350 Gaming K4 received the Agesa 1.0.0.4a update over 3 weeks after the Asus board.

 

There are still quite a few major fixes due from AMD, that will be released via BIOS updates, based solely on the update history I would go for the Asus board as it appears to have better ongoing support.
