It's better because I discovered a solid discount on both items.
It depends on whether you require an ATX or mATX board. Both options perform well with B450 boards.
You can still use two M.2 ports even with an ATX case by choosing a compatible expansion card or using a different mounting method.
Tomahawk supports just one M.2 slot. If you need two NVMe drives, consider another motherboard. Which CPU are you connecting to the M.2 port?
5500, though considering the 5700x3d as an improvement, since I already have the 5500.
You can find alternative, more affordable boards, but B550 models are specifically designed for this price range.
These two options are affordable since they're low-priced, missing only the io shield (except for Mortar Max), and for B550, there are no used listings in Indonesia, just new ones available.
