Hello guys.
I am thinking of upgrading my Mobo + CPU + Ram with these components:

MOTHERBOARD:{
-Asrock 90 MXB3P0: https://www.amazon.de/ASRock-AB350M-HDV-90-MXB3P0-A0UAYZ-Motherboard-Schwarz/dp/B06WWC7BTJ/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1533229003&sr=1-1&keywords=ASRock+-+AB350M-HDV

OR

-Asus Prime B350 Plus Motherboard: https://www.amazon.de/Prime-B350-PLUS-Mainboard-Sockel-Speicher/dp/B06X9LN311/ref=sr_1_9?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1533229192&sr=1-9&keywords=ryzen+5
}

CPU: {
-Ryzen 3 AMD YD2200 °C5FB: https://www.amazon.de/AMD-Ryzen-RadeonTM-VegaTM-Grafikkarte/dp/B079D3DBNM/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1533229700&sr=1-1&keywords=AMD+-+Ryzen+3+2200G
}

RAM: {
Crucial CT8G4DFS8213 8GB Single DDR4: https://www.amazon.de/Crucial-CT8G4DFS8213-Speicher-PC4-17000-288-Pin/dp/B01BIWLFGQ/ref=sr_1_3?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1533229114&sr=1-3&keywords=ddr+4+8+gb+ram
}

The rest of my system parts are:
Video: R9 280x
PSU - 750 Watt CoolerMaster
A SSD And a HDD

My main concerns and things that I want to ask is if the CPU + one of the listed Mobos is good combination, and will I gain any benefits if I select the Asus Prime B350, will there be any significant difference and should I go for it? My plans are to stay with these components for now and upgrade to ryzen 7 in future + 1050ti , but not quite sure about it yet its just a possibility. I will be using it for Coding and some games like Dota 2 , WOW ETC.

And the other thing is , if you have something in mind to offer me to change/upgrade could you please share it. :)

Have a great day and thank you for reading.

Performance wise either MB would do for any Ryzen processor at stock. That Asrock is microATX and diesn't have as much options and connectors as Asus one. Pick by what features you need. My pick would be that Asus MB because of better VRM and possibility of future CPU upgrades. There's also a matter of RAM slots of which Asus have 4, that also facilitates RAM upgrade.
Ryzen 2200g is lowest end true Ryzen and also contains a GPU which you may not need considering that you have a dedicated GPU. Good substitute would be R3 1300x for instance, prices should be similar.
That RAM is also OK but only OK. Ryzen likes faster RAM specially in conjunction with IGPU

1) do not use single stick of ram, you are limiting your self to single channel ram, halfing the performance.
2) try and get the fastest ram possible on ryzen, has a huge effect on performance, even more so when using an APU which relys on fast ram for the graphics.

I would be looking at a minimum of 2x 4gb sticks at 3000mhz DDR4.
