I'm going to Microcenter today and i'm gonna do a new build I can't decide between the new MOBOs linked below

I will be using a Ryzen 5 3600x CPU and my build will have ARGB lighting I think the Asus MOBO has Aura RGB headers which I believe are ARGB compatible(not 100% sure if they are). I really need to ensure I make that right choice the first time as Microcenter is about a 3 Hour drive 1 way.

If you need anymore information please let me know and I will gladly give any additional information.

Aura RGB and Adressable RGB are two things, not the same thing! You're going to need to include what the rest of your system looks like (apart from the board) in order for us to see which board would be a better purchase.

To add, if any of the above board's have an ARGB header, then you're good to go.
