I'm planning on upgrading to the R7 3700x and need help deciding what motherboard to choose.

I mostly use my pc for gaming and a little video editing from time to time.
I wont be overclocking.

Dont really know if it should be a x470 or x570.

Please help me out

I have an Asus ROG Strix B450-F Gaming motherboard that I am going to install a 3700x on later today or tomorrow.
I will let you know how it goes.
But as far as it goes any decent B450 or X470 MB should work well with a 3700x as long as you have a way to update the BIOS to the Newest version Before installing the 3700x.

Yeah I was thinking a 470 would be enough for what I need as I don't need to overclock or pcie 4.0.

I had in mind either a gigabyte x570 aorus elite or ASRock AMD Ryzen X470 Taichi

As they are similar in price
 
A USB BIOS Flash button is a feature to have if your going to use 3rd gen Ryzen and the motherboard doesn't have the updated BIOS to support the processor, which is the case if your not getting a X570 Chipset motherboard.
