Need Motherboard Suggestions

[hi-p]

I've come to this site for multiple answers over the years, so it's nice to post my first question!

I plan on buying an AMD Ryzen 7 2700X CPU, the compatible sockets are AM4 X470 / B450 / A320.

Which chipset would be the best of those three?

Which motherboards are the best available with said chipset? (my budget for the motherboard is $1,000 USD)

Thank you very much, any help is welcome!

Edit: I plan on doing 3D / rendering / simulations / video editing, in case that information helps at all.

With the Ryzen 7 2700X you should go with the X470 or B450

If your budget 1k for the motherboard, I think this are the best

Asus ROG Crosshair VII Hero
Asrock X470 Taichi Ultimate
Asrock X470 Taichi
MSI X470 Gaming M7 AC
Gigabyte X470 Aorus Gaming 7

Between Asus ROG Crosshair VII Hero and ASRock X470 Taichi Ultimate, which one would you say offers the most?

You can use the comparative table of AM4-socket motherboards found on this thread: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-3502839/am4-motherboard-amd-ryzen-cpu-specs-comparison-list.html for you to be familiar with the specs of the board that you need/want. You can sort/filter the tables for each specs as you deem necessary, based on your preferences.

B or X depending on what you want. If you’re planning on OCing hard get the X or if you want all the ports. If you just want to OC well and don’t use many USB ports just go for the board that you like the look of for the price. If you’re not cared about looks a cheap B board will do fine if you want RGB everything an expensive C board would offer that.
