If your looking for a X470 board this one from MSI would fit, but for something more value oriented the B350 series would be something to look at.

The MSI one has an 11 phase power design so I wouldn't say it would be something to really worry about, it's a decently well rounded for a budget X470 board.

It has more than enough front panel and rear panel USB ports.

Never mind I figured out what I don't need plugged in 24/7 and it's just enough. Thanks man! I can finally move from away from my 8350 after 6  years

Just to provide some options the Gigbyte X470 Aurora is also very close in terms of features and pricepoint including RGB lights if your into that.
