Mobo suggestions for Ryzen 5 3600 are ready. Pick the one that fits your needs best. Intel offers better performance than Realtek in most cases. Your current setup with Realtek and sometimes Leauge of Legends might experience stability issues. Consider upgrading to a more reliable motherboard if needed.
With a 3600 you have all options available. You don’t need a powerful VRM or large heatsinks. The MSI X570-A PRO performs well at this price point. If you manage to find it cheap, I’d likely choose it. Personally, I’d recommend the Asus, though it supports Realtek LAN.
Are you considering premium boards? The B450 works well for many users.
it doesn't really matter about your internet setup since you usually don't need a dedicated network card for your PC. The motherboard's built-in one works fine for most everyday tasks. You'd only consider a gigabit Ethernet controller if you're paying for that service and using the network heavily. Personally, I use a Realtek chipset in my motherboard and have only faced issues from our ISP. I own an MSI B450m (non-carbon) and can recommend it as a solid choice, though my current board is a Micro ATX with limited RAM slots. This is just my personal take; feel free to disagree, but I won't be responsible for any decisions based on this advice.
Other options weren't considered. The Asus TUF board is the best choice from what's available.
TUF board is definitely worth considering—it offers great value for the cost.
