I'm mostly gaming on it but I will be doing multitasking and possibly recording while I game

Unsure right now, likely going to get an rx 580

If you do get the 8gb version. And if you want to overclock a Asus Strix

Looks great!

Looks flawless. Throw in a 8GB RX580 and you're golden.

 

Here is an option instead of a Wifi card to consider, and it also nicely compliments the white theme: Pick up the ASRock X370 Killer SLI/ac motherboard instead. It features built in wifi, and only costs $10 more then your current B350 motherboard combined with the wifi card. I believe it is only available in the U.S. right now though. If you're not from there, probably won't work for you.

You can overclock better on this board

Really? That's the first I've heard that. What makes the B350 PC Mate better for overclocking?

 

And I mean...Ryzen is pretty limited with overclocking once you pass 3.9GHz which should be no problem on all if not most ATX boards.

That PC MATE board has a A-XMP 1 click option that works like a freaking charm

Ryzen benefits more from higher ram overclocks then cpu overclocks.

I've heard of overclocking and RAM issues on that board, I'm sticking with what I know.

Ah, true, true.

Just food for thought. I've got the board and I've had no problems with overclocking. Made it to 4.0GHz, but tuned it down to 3.95 to run at a lower voltage that makes me feel a bit better inside. RAM issues exist, but they exist on every board...so it's luck of the draw really. I suppose it's always good to stick with what you know though, the PC Mate is one of the best B350s especially when taking price into consideration.
