Question Mobo Upgrade help and opinions??

[hc5000]

Hey guys, sorry in advanced for the long winded post, but I've been contemplating a mobo upgrade on a PC I built just a little over 2 years ago now, and I'd really like some thoughts and opinions.
First off my current Hardware;

MSI B550 A-PRO
Ryzen 7 3800x
64GB Kingston Fury Beast DDR4 (2X32GB)
EVGA XC3 RTX3070 Ultra Black
500GB WD Black SN850 NVME
1TB WD Blue SSD
2 x 2TB Seagate BarraCuda HDD
AresGame AGK-850 Fully Modular 850w PSU
Noctua NH-D15 Chromax Black CPU Cooler
4 x Coolermaster MF200R 200mm fans
1 x Coolermaster SickleFlow 140mm fan
Coolermaster MasterCase H500M

Running Windows 11 and its my primary rig doing everything from browsing amazon to 3D Modeling and design, graphic design, moderate gaming, media center, etc..

It's always far surpassed anything I've ever owned previously and though it's a long way from the top its been my pride and joy since the first post, but from day 1 I've been less than impressed with my mobo.. I didnt get hung up on the handful of bent pins here and there fresh out of the box. But out of the 2 M.2 NVME slots the primary lane straight to the cpu never worked. To this day that slot is dead and will not recognize or utilize a drive.

I spoke with MSI countless times about this issue and at no point were they interested in helping me out, and directed me to contact the retailer I purchased from (Amazon) who was about equally helpful. So my NVME sits in the secondary slot with pcie 4.0 capabilities running pcie 3.0 speeds.

I've been thinking about taring things down and rebuilding on a new MOBO. I'd like to reuse all or as much of my current Hardware as possible as it's all working fine and as far as I know not completely out of date and falling behind.. (yet)

If I can swing it my top choices would be switching to either a Gigabyte X570 Aorus Master or a ASUS ROG X570 Crosshair VIII Dark Hero.
But would I be looking at any real worth while noticable performance gains in doing so? Any thoughts or opinions on what to expect? Also other good options for replacing my B550A-PRO within the B550 or X570 chipset that would utilize my current Hardware?

Bare in mind that I'm not expecting a new mobo to be an entirely new rig, I'm a tinker-er with busy hands and a busier brain and I do find a certain amount of value just in the new project or starting fresh aspect of this alone. And I haven't done much but I would like to learn and try my hand at over clocking in the future, so any options that would better support that are absolutely welcome as well..

Again sorry for the novel, any and all thoughts, opinions, input is much appreciated!
Thanks

Amazon many times are good and better to deal with bought something for my computer motherboard or gpu and notice something and spoken to brand and they just said need to speak with amazon and got refunded from amazon sometimes they will offer refund or replacements but speak to amazon just incase!​

This is currunt Motherboard slot​

EXPANSION SLOT​

• 1x PCIe 4.0/ 3.0 x16 slot (PCI_E1) 1
• 1x PCIe 3.0 x16 slot (PCI_E3), supports x4 speed 2
• 2x PCIe 3.0 x1 slots

1. The supported specification depends on installed processor.
2. When installing PCIe SSD in M.2_2, PCI_E3 slot will be unavailable.

With Your SDD slots think they have one 4.0 and one 3.0 that why the 2nd one runs only at 3.0


ASUS DARK HERO V111 so you more better with this motherboard because your currunt motherboard is cheaper and less to offer!
