Question What MOBO is good to pair with a Ryzen 7 1700 CPU?

[tomseurocat]

I have, currently, a Ryzen 7 1700 CPU. My MOBO needs to be replaced in my system and I was wondering if an X470 would be the logical choice for essentially the same price as my current X370? Or is there another option that I am overlooking?

Since I have an ASUS branded GPU would it be of any benefit to stay with ASUS for the MOBO?
