Checking if the VRM can support the R9 3900X with the X570 TUF is a good idea.
In this price bracket, it stands out as a top choice available.
Buildzoid sees it as a close match in the $200 range between the Gigabyte Aorus Elite and the ASUS TUF. Both models have solid VRM designs. The only drawback he mentions is the TUF lacks Intel LAN support, while the Gigabyte BIOS might be slightly less advanced. Additionally, the TUF is currently on sale in the US for as low as $165.
Also consider the Gigabyte Aorus Elite and the impressive ASUS Prime P. The TUF model is also worth looking at. The choice comes down to appearance and capabilities among these options. Here are the links:

This year’s advice is to skip MSI and focus on the others.
Rubbish VRM boards work best on budget x570 chips. The VRMs are poor quality until you reach the UNIFY and ACE options, which cost around $300. The UNIFY offers decent value if you don’t need RGB lighting. The ACE is decent but VRMs are often overshadowed by Hero, Master, and Aorus Xtreme. The godlike model is nearly outperformed by Aorus Xtreme in every category.
