The only one guaranteed to run it out of the box without BIOS update is the X570 board, all others may or may not need a BIOS update.

What are your current pc specs?

New hardware releases later this year could drop prices.

My current PC is:

CPU: i5 4440
RAM: 8GB 1600MHz
Motherboard: H97M-E

I want to upgrade to the ryzen 7 3700x because i dont want to update my pc in the current 5 o more years.

Do you see need for PCe 4! If yes go for the X570 board, if not I would go for the Asus strix board.

I'd avoid that Strix-F...if it were the Strix-E it would be a good choice.

Actually, in that mess I'd have to say the best choice is the Asrock x570M PRO4. Except for a select few boards (like the Strix E) Asus and Gigabyte screwed the pooch with their B450 lineup.

Intel's going to have a new lineup out in a year or two (or better have), and AMD's got Zen3 and Zen4 on the way.

It's easy to imagine the desktop space being totally transformed in one or two years, even more than the prior two; I honestly wonder how easy that will be to do.

8 phase VCore VRM, for when you absolutely need that 3900X... and it won't bat an eyelash should a 3950X fall right onto the socket somehow.

Not to say the Strix is bad, but there's good... and then there is better. While it has a lot of nice features, as it should, the Strix' VRM is 4-phase, and a relatively weak one at that.
