Question Motherboard for 2700X

[Skpstr]

Hi all, looking for opinions on a good board for a Ryzen 2700X.

I know exactly zero about motherboards, I just know that on my last PC, the mobo was the last component chosen, and completely on price, and it only lasted a couple years with an FX-6300 Turboed to 4.0Ghz.

I'd like to get a decent board this time, one that at least won't burn out on Turbo, and possibly be suitable for future OCing. Other than that, I dunno what to look for. (but I don't need RGB or any "frills".

Ideally, I'm looking to spend about $150 CDN ($110 USD) but I can go higher.

You could look into some B450's like the tomahawk or Steel legend, there are better than some entry level X470's.

I love my Asus Prime x470 pro MB, lets me do anything with my 2700x and 3600MHz RAM.
From B450 MBs, Tomahawk is probably best one but priced to close to Asus prime.
RGB is something that practically all modern MBs have, no escaping that one but you don't have to use it although some may come handy as they may be set to change colors according to temperatures.

Now, THAT hadn't occurred to me. Maybe that feature won't go unused on my current build....if the friggin' motherboard EVER makes it to me.
