Looking at the pictures, it has a 4+2 phase VRM. Which means it's not great. Probably the same VRM as all of the B350 boards and the same as the X370 Prime-A. 

If you absolutely must have an Asus board, try to get one with more than 4 Vcore phases. For example the X370/470 Prime Pro, Crosshair VI/VII or X370/470 Strix-F. 

If none of those are possible, consider MSI's X470 boards or just getting a B350 Prime Plus. Alternatively, wait for the B450 boards to avoid potential compatibility issues with 300-series motherboards.

this is the one i was looking for

 

think i must do some comparison before i decide which board to buy . 

 

but i can see the specs on the Rog X470 is not better than the tuf. and i like the tuf better on the looks . 

 

but thanks anyway for some inputs .

If you go with a 350 chipset you will need to upgrade BIOS. The 470 is less of a problem
