Is there any better option for this price?
Thanks in advance.

Thank you, should I go for this one instead?

ASUS TUF X570-PLUS GAMING WiFi

I can get it for the same price of any of those.

Mmm nvm, it seems BIOS cannot be updated without the CPU installed.

EDIT: The 550 version of this board does allow it though, wonder what the hell were they thinking.

Tom's say that it's OK - https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/asus-tuf_gaming-x570_plus-wifi-motherboard,6273.html

And it's VRM temps seem OK - https://www.kitguru.net/components/...rm-temperature-analysis-luke-deep-dive/all/1/

So I'd say you should be fine.

Any idea what CPU you want to put on it?

Thank you.
I'm decided to buy ASUS TUF X570-PLUS GAMING WiFi AM4 PCIe 4.0 Dual M.2, I'm waiting confirmation from the retailer if they can updated the BIOS with Ryzen 5000 support, because I have no other compatible CPU.

As title, a 5800X

That should be OK.
