I'm aiming to assemble my initial PC within a reasonable price range. I'll be using a Ryzen 5 3600 and an RX 570, and I need a suitable motherboard. RGB options aren't important, but good Wi-Fi performance is a priority. Here are some solid choices: MSI B450 Gaming PRO Carbon AC, ASUS ROG Strix B450-F Gaming Motherboard, and GIGABYTE X570 Gaming X.

What is your spending limit? If you have the funds for an x570 board, purchase it. Otherwise, a B450 should suffice.

You really want wifi directly on the motherboard for maximum performance and convenience.

It seems like you're saying adding a Wi-Fi card is merely an additional cost, not a crucial one, just a pleasant addition.

No, I wouldn't suggest the Asus X570-P as a better choice compared to the other models.

Some users reported poor VRM performance on this motherboard. The choice of MSI B450 might be due to its reputation or compatibility considerations.

This VRM offers excellent cooling and its performance surpasses the MSI B450. Non-Max boards lack sufficient BIOS space for a polished interface, which results in a less appealing UEFI display compared to MSI's standard BIOS.
