First of all, let's begin with the usual obligatory system spec :

CPU : Ryzen 5 2600
Mobo : MSI X370 SLI Plus
RAM : T-Force Delta R DDR4 3000 16 (4x4) GB RGB (what a mouthful)
GPU : Sapphire Pulse RX Vega 56 8GB
SSD : Lexar NM600
HDD : An old 500 GB Seagate Momentus Thin
PSU : Seasonic Gold (the 600W one, recommended by someone here, has been rock solid the entire time)
Cooler : Cryorig H7 QL
Case : some random chinese $20 case, probably doesn't matter, ATX size

So, my cousin is currently building a PC (his first build, by the way), and he needs a motherboard. I'm thinking of giving him my X370 SLI Plus and grab a new one for myself.
My build is a white-aesthetic PC, I got as far as painting my GPU white to make it complete. The only thing that isn't white currently is the motherboard, which is black (and the cooler and the fans, but that's for another day).
I'm looking for a white motherboard to replace the outgoing X370 SLI Plus. I've seen plenty of white motherboards from the Intel side, but I'm not sure on AMD side. I wonder if AMD has one?
No brand preference, as long as it's white I'm in.

Must have :
  • Support for the Ryzen 5 2600
  • 4 RAM slots (I can probably live with two if it's THAT good)
  • NVMe slot for the SSD

Good to have :
  • RGB headers (not a must, currently not using RGB headers but in case I decided to upgrade something-something to RGB parts)
  • Overclocking support (never overclocked my CPU, but good to have)
  • RGB on the motherboard (never really cared about onboard RGBs, but a feature is a feature)
  • Other bells and whistles that isn't of utmost importance on running the PC

Any chipset welcome. Any price point is good (as long as it's not ultra flagship like Godlike series, I mean it's not like it's a good idea to stick a 2600 to one of these isn't it?) Any input is appreciated, thank you.

Asrock has a 'white on black' theme: B450 Steel Legend. That should work well with a large, all-white CPU cooler and a white GPU.

MSI had/has a B350 Tomahawk Arctic. Good luck finding one, but I'd really not suggest it anyway as B350 boards were extremely sub-standard in most regards.

Can't say much about RGB support though.

Well I guess my choices are limited though, alright then. I'll see what I can get my hands on
