PC motherboard compatible with Ryzen 7 3700X
You're considering the Ryzen 7 3700X and need guidance on the best motherboard. The MSP430 X570 Gaming Pro Carbon Wi-Fi model fits your budget, but you mentioned it might not be ideal. Since WiFi isn't required, a B450 board would work just fine. Your $400 AUD budget should cover a reliable option without needing advanced features.
The ASUS X570 TUF with Wi-Fi stands out as the top choice within its budget.
MSI's mid-level X570 boards currently lack sufficient VRMs. For onboard Wi-Fi, consider ASUS' TUF X570-PLUS (Wi-Fi) or the upcoming MSI X570 Tomahawk. Alternatively, opt for a B450 board such as the MSI B450 Gaming Pro Carbon Max, which should support a stock 3900X.
This version seems acceptable, though it exceeds the allocated amount by $40 USD.
