[SOLVED] Which of these Ryzen 1st Gen Boards is best?

[clutchc]

Opinions needed...
The Asus TUFF B350M-Plus Gaming or the Gigabyte AB350M Gaming?
Obviously the Gigabyte is more expensive even at this late date, for some reason. (the retailer maybe?) But feature-wise, they seem to be pretty similar.
I own both and want to sell one and keep one. Which one to keep and why?

My choice would be the ASUS , have always loved their TUF series boards.

I'd totally go with the TUF... based on Asus's reputation for a strong BIOS mainly. But take that IO shroud off to get better airflow to the VRM heatsink.

Also because I was thoroughly dissatisfied with my Gigabyte AB350M Gaming 3.

OK. It looks like it's unanimous. I keep the Asus.
Next question... any opinion on which of these gfx cards I should keep and which to sell with the board? I'm trying to get a build together to sell to a relative from my extra stuff.
GTX 980 4GB
RX 580 8GB

The GTX 980 seems to be slightly faster (depending on the game), while the RX 580 has the benefit of twice the VRAM.

Keep the rx 580. More Vram makes a difference and it's not that power hungry.

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

Keep the 580 and the ASUS board.
