which one of these mobos

[Mr1ply]

Doing budget gaming comp. planning on using ryzen 3 1200. Not sure which mobo to go with, looking at one of these 3. which would you go with or do you have another suggestion in the same price range?
ASUS Prime B350M-E
ASUS Prime B350M-A/CSM
GIGABYTE GA-AB350-GAMING 3

Out of the 3, I would take the Gigabyte Gaming 3 board.

If it's available to you check out ASUS TUF B350M Plus. I do tend to be partial to ASUS and that would have been my choice had I known about it at the time; although I'm really pleased with the MSI B350M Mortar and R7-1700 I have now.

BTW: I had a GA-B350M-Gaming 3 previously and the experience was not good (prompting the change to the Mortar) so I'm a bit biased against B350 Gigabyte boards.

Also: you do know two of your choices are mATX and one is ATX? just sayin...

the case im using handles both. not worried about extra expansion slots. does it really matter besides that?

Features may vary but as far as fitting it shouldn't matter as far as I know; I've put mATX boards in ATX cases before. It just looked kind of lonely in there. One advantage, though, is you can consider putting a double-height expansion card in the second PCIe x16 slot assuming it has one. That makes cross-fire an actual option (SLI is not, though, on B350 boards) since most mATX cases fit the bottom edge of the board too snug to the top of the power supply.
