Hello everyone! I'm working on assembling my own PC and trying to understand all the components that need to work together. I'm considering the AMD RYZEN 7 3700X and am having trouble choosing between these motherboards: AsRock B450M Steel Legend, AsRock B450 Pro4, AsRock B450M Pro4, and the Micro-ATX version of ASRock B450M Pro4-F. They all support 16/32GB DDR4 RAM at 3200MHz. Thanks for your advice!

they match each other regarding VRM performance. what sets them apart are dimensions, appearance, and connectivity. choose the one that fits your needs most in terms of input/output capabilities.

b450 Tomahawk MAX, consider a 5 3600 if that’s what you need. Also, install 16 GB of DDR4 3600 MHz RAM. If gaming is more important than CPU performance.
