I can't decide which board to go with. Things worth considering:

I can't decide which board to go with. Things worth considering:
- I'm not in need of PCIe 4.0, therefore an X570 board would be overkill for me, not to mention they being overpriced as well.
- I'm not planning on buying a CPU for the next 3-4 years. By that time X570, X470 and X370 boards will be equivalently outdated IMO.
- I'd like to get an SLI-capable board to stick a 2nd GPU in later on (multi-GPUs are stupid for gaming, for my purposes they are beneficial however).
- All manufacturers are having problems with 3rd gen Ryzens, in my eyes MSI seems to be the worst one so far, I'm not willing to troubleshoot their BIOS. I just want my build to get the job done.
- I'm not planning on doing heavy OC, I would like to have nice VRM setup though. Also therefore if the difference between X470 and X370 boards are some OC-related features, I'd rather go with a more feature-rich X370.
- BIOS Flashback isn't a must, can be a deciding factor though.
