MERGED QUESTION
Question from a.kharwadkar223 : "Asus TUF B450 Plus or MSI B450 Tomahawk"

I'm going to be using a 2nd gen AMR Ryzen 5 2600 a GTX 1060 and 2x 8gb Corsair RGB Pro 3000mhz cas15. I also need a Nvme M.2 drive for a SSD
Already have all of the above

Should I get the ASUS TUF B450 plus or the MSI Tomahawk? I've heard that the MSI Tomahawk is really good but I have a Asus TUF GT501 case which apparently fits TUF motherboards better than other motherboards because you may have to take out the rear fans to put in the motherboard opposed to a tuf motherboard where somehow you don't need to take the fan out and put it in again.

Should I ignore the easy TUF fitting and get the Tomahawk or get the ASUS TUF b450 plus which isn't bad either?

Not with that Ram. Specs list 2666Mhz as the fastest base clock speed sticks, though MB will allow 2666Mhz to be OC'd to preset speeds per specs.

just noticed the posting date, guess you know that by now.
 
This board is the one i was going with today, although, I read somewhere something about 'pin outs' and 'F panel' and connections to the front panel buttons and leds and that the Asus instructions did not even address the issue in their manual.
A friend is building me a system and i don't want him to run into (m)any problems. Thanks

If you have access to it, the B450 TUF PRO (not the Plus) would be a much better choice. While PLUS will probably work well enough for a 2600 the PRO has an improved VRM design.

The improved VRM would prove very beneficial if you ever decide to upgrade to 2700(X) or an 8 core and higher Ryzen3000 CPU... or even if you simply wanted to overclock your 2600.
