I just changed my motherboard from an MSI A320M Pro VD/S to an ASUS Tuf B450M Pro Gaming. I'm feeling a bit unsure because the Asrock B450M Steel Legend looks great, and it has an ARGB 3-pin 5V socket plus better audio options. For VRM performance, especially with a Ryzen 5 1400 and a future upgrade to a Ryzen 5 3600, which one would you prefer?

You're not missing much with the TUF if you already own it. However, if you're interested in upgrading, the steel legend offers more features.

Thanks for the response. It would be inconvenient to change it, though. I plan to sell this board if someone is interested, since I just purchased it this month. I should have done more research beforehand. I picked the Tuf because my system has a Tuf Tforce Delta RAM with RGB and assumed only Asus Aurasync would work. After investigating further, I found it also supports Asrock Polychrome. Probably the product page got mixed up. Haha!
