Which Mobo is Better?

[c00lFD]

I'll be buying a motherboard soon, probably today, and I can't choose between 2 motherboards. I'm going with a Black and White build.

I'm trying to decide between the ASRock Pro4 and the B350 Tomahawk Arctic

Which one is better. I'm thinking about the Tomahawk but I'm not sure, please help.

On a budget, have 400 to get a 1600, ram and mobo

Better VRMs

Asrock one.

But the design of the MSI looks nicer.

 

How about this one

Need to buy a mobo today and the Pro4 is 20 dollars more than the tomahawk at the moment. That sucks.

@Crunchy Dragon @c00lFD The Pro4 series has a 3+3 phase design, despite the 6 tiny inductors on the left of the socket. Are you sure it's significantly better than the tomahawk, which seems to have a 4+2 phase design with adequate heatsinks as well? Is it really worth the extra $20?

MSI's AM4 VRMs have been known to have lower quality, regardless of phase design.
