You're looking at the Ryzen 7 3700X and need to pick a motherboard. I've heard mixed opinions—MSI and ASUS are popular, but ASUS boards often perform well. Gigabyte is another solid option too. With a budget near $300, you've got some great choices to consider.
I definitely suggest MSI, their cases are very solid. The same applies to most ASUS models, though Gigabyte tends to be inconsistent.
MSI offers poor X570 boards while Gigabyte provides outstanding options. Have you checked out any reviews? Gigabyte delivers great value across all price ranges, but the top-rated MSI models start around $500.
Why would anyone require a $300 board? Many are purchasing these expensive motherboards without seeing any real benefits, and prices continue to rise with little improvement. Opt for a decent B450 and stop the cycle.
Gigabyte's customer support has been quite disappointing for me, maybe it's just becoming more typical lately...
