For the motherboard - Go with Asus. All Asus products are really solid. Also Msi AM4 motherboard seem to have a lot of problems. The difference between the two ssds you have mentioned is in the form factor(so the choice really depends on what you want). The first one is a 2.5" drive, the second one is an M.2 drive(look at pictures to see it).

Mobo: Just these two?

RAM: frequency?

SSD: The cheaper one. Little performance difference.

MSI's problem on these mobos seems to be solved. These problems in the past did make their prices lower than others though, so it is ok as a choice. Not saying that Asus is bad (especially when I have 2 Asus parts in my system)

Yeah, how you will solve bad VRMs with software? Use your brain plz.

My MSI experience with latest bios in mid august was very painful

 

Don't buy Apple M1 computers with 8GB of RAM

I'm referring to their BIOS issue in which system fails to post or locks RAM at 2133Mhz no matter what

 

MSI's X370 boards have bad VRM? Havent heard of that on X370. I thought it's only on B350s.

All MSI AM4 mobos have shitty VRMs, all of them are shitty and XPower has still the shitty parts and is even overpriced af
