So B450 is a new upcoming Motherboard. May i know what's the difference between these two Motherboard? Is B450 better than X470?
I'm planning to build my own gaming pc mostly for AAA games and VR games.

I'm planning to go for this build -

1.) B450 / X470? And which brand is the best motherboard?
2.) AMD Ryzen 5 2600X
3.) Gigabyte Aorus RX580
4.) G.Skill Trident 2x8gb Ram 2666mhz
5.) WD 240gb SSD
6.) 1TB HDD
7.) Corsair Crystal 460X RGB Case

Feel free to give me your opinion! Thank you!

X470 top end chipset with multi-GPU support and a few more bells and whistles.

For a general gamer, B450 more than enough.

You ram is a bit ugg, try and get 2966Mhz or 3200Mhz for optimum performance.

Unless you plan to do heavy overlcoking, get a R5 2600 gives a better cost/performance and can still hit 4/4.1 O/C.

SSD, Crucial MX500, again cost/performance is good.

EVGA 500+w 80+ bronze/gold would be a good match.
