[seangerman7]

Hey guys I am building a new pc for video editing and gaming and I am not sure which of these boards would work best. They seem pretty similar to me besides the mATX and ATX.

Unless you plan to SLI/CrossFire in future, there is no added advantage of the x370 platform. However you can go with a better b350 board with more power phases for better overclocking potential like the MSI Pro Carbon or the ASUS B350F. Here is a comparison of all the 4 boards... https://us.hardware.info/comparisontable/products/396951-386381-400375-391119
