Hi! For your friend's build, the ASUS board is a bit more expensive by $10 compared to the MORTAR MAX. Since he'll be running an R7 2700 and planning to overclock, you might want to check the compatibility and performance of the ASUS model. Let me know if you need more details!

Technically the B450 TUF Pro S stands out, employing 8 SIC639 chips versus 8 SM4337 and 8 SM4503, clearly favoring the TUF Pro S.

The extent of the variation is notable. The other functionalities available on the boards differ significantly.

The b450 pro s is usually superior to the mortar max. It offers solid IO, two m.2 drives (similar to the mortar max), and improved VRM compared to the mortar max. Both can manage the 2700, but the tuf pro s edges out slightly.
