I'm setting up my first PC soon and am choosing a 7 3700x. I’m not aiming for heavy overclocking but want the option later. I was thinking MSI B550 tomahawk, though it has few USB ports. Any alternatives would be helpful. My budget is roughly $100 to $180.

The Aorus Pro v2 offers this feature, while the earlier models and Strix do not. The Steel Legend also includes a front panel with Type-C.
