ASRock Fatal1ty X370 Gaming X
GIGABYTE AORUS B450 PRO
ASUS STRIX B350-F GAMING

Don't recommend me any other motherboards. Please, don't take this as me being rude, I'm bound by budget, pricing in my country, and current sales, plus other weird factors so these are literally the best options I could find, I'm certain.

I want the best motherboard for Overclocking the CPU, the RAM and the GPU in as stable of a fashion as possible. I have a Ryzen 5 1600 (that can do 4ghz), and yeah, I know this is overkill to being with, it's a complicated situation, due to my 1st motherboard breaking in warranty and me wanting high quality audio.

I'd say the Asus board, t hat was pretty much THE board for b350, with great VRMs IIRC. But don't know whether the x370 would be better or not, but I suspect the Asus would still be better.

Please quote my post, or put @paddy-stone if you want me to respond to you.

Through a quick look, I believe that the ASRock Gaming X and Aorus B450 PRO will be better for overclocking than the Strix board. Out of the first two, I'd go for the ASRock board because I just think it looks better than the Gigabyte one.
