Hello All. I'm trying to decide between the two boards (MSI mpg b550 gaming plus vs Giga-Byte B550M DS3H). It's been 5 years since I've built the last PC and a lot of has changed. Specs:
-Ryzen 5600x
-32GB DD4 3600
-1TB PCIe NVMe Gen3 M.2 + various existing drives
-GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER OC Edition 6GB GDDR6 PCI Express 3.0

The Giga board is about $53 cheaper. The MSI board "looks" better build. I'm not planning on gaming.

Purpose Photoshop and Lightroom (photo editing large files).

Curious to know opinions on which board (currently have both right now) would you recommend.

I personally like the Giga-Byte B550M DS3H better because I like how the software works. But this decision is more based on opinion. You may need to update the bios once bought or your ddr4 will run lower than 3000mhz. I would go with Gigbyte
