I'm planning to assemble a PC soon and have options between an R7 3700X and a future R5 5600X. Prices vary across countries, but I found this ASRock B550 Phantom Gaming board. Is it a solid choice? Some folks mention VRM issues online, though I’m not sure what they mean. Should I budget an extra 20-30 for a X570 motherboard, or is it worth the extra cost if I already have a high-end one?

Mtx is essentially an ATX board missing some extra slots. Unless you intend to use Sli or Crossfire, it works just fine. These Mtx boards/cases are really affordable, likely saving around $50 compared to similar ATX options.
He has the same board setup as the one at 3700x, which means it should work without issues.
