Which one of these motherboards are better? i'm atm building a pc with a 870$ budget if possible less.

 

Someone suggested a motherboard and the other person suggested a different one.

the msi mobo's had a problem with bad VRM's or so, so i'd still try to avoid them, untill the new amd mobo's come around

Both have a rather weak 4-phase VRM which is fine for a R3 or R5. Don't pair it with a Ryzen 7 though.

They look to be completely comparable to each other. Pick the less expensive one.

do you know a better one with the same price? or cheaper.?

what do u think. xg says asrock pro4 is the best b350 board? :)

what do you think he suggested asus B350 F

Pro4 is a micro ATX board with above average VRM. IIRC B350-F has one of the best VRM for B350 chipset and is an ATX board.
