What motherboard should I pair with R5 2600?

[lukeelstrott]

I'm conceptualizing a gaming PC build that I will be putting together in the near future, and I want a motherboard that will work with the R5 2600 and not need a manual BIOS update off the bat like the Tomahawk B350, I also want RAM support of AT LEAST 2666 MHz. No more than $140, but less expensive would be appreciated.

If you can wait, B450 boards are coming out in July-end. They would be cheaper.

Better than B350, but not better than X470. The performance will be the same as X470, but the features will be reduced.
