Considering your needs, a solid motherboard like the ASUS ROG Strix B550M PRO or MSI MEG 16 would work well. Both support Ryzen 3600 and offer good performance for gaming and office tasks. You might want to check availability of the Tomahawk Max or look at alternatives like the B550M PRO. For an M.2 slot, ensure the board supports NVMe drives.
I own a 3600x, 600 force, Corsair 4x8 3200 lpx for Ryzen, and a 5500 xt on an Asus Tuf X-570. It feels super smooth. I really enjoy the motherboard and BIOS setup. The X-570 offers some future-proof benefits. The 5500 xt, though, isn’t doing much these days.
I have a comparable configuration. After extensive investigation, I chose the Asus Tuf X570 Wi-Fi. It offers great value, and all the feedback I found was favorable. It’s not a top-tier model but falls in the upper-middle range.
