i have a i5-9600k with a gigabyte z390 gaming X mobo, xfx rx-570 video card,16gb corsair ram, 650w psu.
my gigabyte mobo just died {almost lasted a year}. due to this coronavirus getting a new mobo is very tough
so i bought the best my local microcenter had {asrock b365 pro4} . i used to buy asus maximus hero boards but they
too expensive now. i used to pay about $200 usd until they started making the prime,tuf series, now they want around $300 usd.

anyway.... i do very light overclocking {whatever the xmp sets} .
im looking for a replacement mobo, something durable with a generous warranty. around $150-$200 usd
what can you recommend ????

Honestly, I'd just get whatever motherboard suits your purposes and budget. I'd say the fact that yours died on you is just a bit of bad luck. In my 20+ years of system building, I've had one board (ASRock 939Dual-SATAII) die on me and that was after several years of normal use.

MSI MPG Z390 gaming pro Carbon is the board I use. It’s in that same range for cost and has overclocking capabilities. The only downside is it doesn’t have WiFi, so if that’s something you need. But would recommend this board.
