Title explains much of it. I watched all the reviews, all the videos, all the benchmarks, and still can't decide which is best for me.
Pretty much on every side people complain about the brand and how they would never buy any product from ASUS/GA/MSI again. So in that regard opinion's were useless.
Out of the 3 the best components seems to be in the MSI and then the ASUS board, both are supposed to be high end B450 mobos, but the asus has a problem with the vrm shroud blocking air flow to the heatsinks and the MSI BIOS has been labelled by many people as "trash".
The GA is being sold for 120$ right now, a x470 board cheaper than two b450 chipsets. Which is quite intriguing yet worrying, that if the board was any good it would have had an inflated price like the ASUS x470 prime pro, but i can be wrong. The major flaw people identitfy with the GA one is both the bad VRM and it's "apparently" short lifespan. The user reviews on amazon are horrific.
So please if someone can suggest one out of those 3 boards and explain why he would have not went with the two other, he would have done me and probably the hundreds of people whom will search for the same question a very good favour.
A bit of background; I have a gigabyte h97-d3h motherboard with an i5 4440 attached to it. The motherboard has been nothing but good to me until now and considering my cpu choice you can see what kind this build was. So bear in mind that I am no Hard overclocker nor i expect the motherboard to give me 100% of the ryzen 2700x, hell a current gen i3 is considered an upgrade from the cpu i have. So when suggesting a motherboard don't take into consideration too much the maximum hardwork part. It is just a build for gaming/editing/streaming. Nothing else. All i want from the board is to be future proof enough that i won't have to change motherboards every year or 2.
