Hey guys. I'm between 5 motherboards for my Ryzen 5 2600. I'll mainly be using my PC for gaming but I also plan on using it for occasional browsing and what not. Idk if my GPU matters but I'll be sporting an MSI-Radeon RX 580 8GB ARMOR OC Video Card along with 16GB of ram. I originally was going to go with the Gigabyte x470 gaming motherboard but I've read quite a few reviews on amazon about the board randomly dying in 2 months or so. Anyways, my limit is $120 and my choices that I am between are:

Asus ROG STRIX B450-F GAMING

MSI B450 TOMAHAWK

ASRock X370 KILLER SLI/ac

MSI X470 Gaming Plus
OR
MSI X470 Gamring Pro Carbon

which one would be the best bang for my buck?
 
Solution
with this ram all mobos should work, so u should look about overclocking potential
power phase switches from top to bottom:
MSI X470 Gaming PRO Carbon - 8+4 (160$)
ASRock X370 KILLER SLI/ac - 8+4 (119$)
MSI X470 Gaming Plus - 8+2 (100$)
Asus ROG STRIX B450-F GAMING 6+2 (124$)
MSI B450 TOMAHAWK - 4+2 (100$)

first number is for cpu, more vrm it has, better board it is

even if u wont overclock, cpu will overclok on its own, and with xfr/pbo it can push it self really nicely
