Question Which B450 motherboard should I go for?

[Raverftw]

Hello,

I've been suggested to buy B450 motherboard instead of B350 one for pretty much the same price, and now I'm not really sure which one should I choose.
Did research on internet a bit, but I wasn't able to find precise answer regarding motherboards I can get.

Options are:

According to my research GIGABYTE B450M DS3H isn't really good choice. Overall best choice apparantly is ASRock B450M-HDV and MSI B450M PRO-M2 but the thing is, there is also a MSI B450M PRO-M2 V2 which is for some reason cheaper than normal model, and thats the main problem I'm having. I wasn't able to find much information and I'm lacking knowledge to understand the difference on my own. So, whats different about MSI B450M PRO-M2 V2 from normal one, should I just stick with ASRock B450-M or maybe get V2 if it's anyhow better than normal M2?

Best regards,
Nikola

And what about adding few more bucks for ASRock B450M PRO4 , would it make any difference?

Thanks for fast replay.

Pro4 is a very nice board , but really won't make a difference.

Thats like 10-15€ difference, will it make any significant difference or pretty much same story as with ASRock B450M PRO4?
btw. im not planning on doing any OC, standard old school gaming

Well I don't know much about any other than the one I have which is an Asus ROG Strix B450 F gaming board and while browsing it looked fine, once I got it all plugged in and started up I realized the giant IO shield basically is like a radiator that put a real hurt on the VRMS. Sad when your board runs hotter than your CPU.
Oh and the RGB header 1 is broken I think. Everything I plug into comes out as a different color or it could be the crappy hub that I got with the case.
