[SOLVED] Worth going from B450M to B550?

Is the ASRock B450M Pro 4 worth upgrading to the GIGABYTE B550 Aorus Elite AX V2? There's nothing driving a change, necessarily. I recently went from an RX 580 to the Arc A750 and from a Ryzen 5 2600 to the Ryzen 7 5700X. Ideally, I upgrade my PC every 5-7 years, since I don't play any demanding titles. All feedback appreciated. Thanks!

If everything is working as is and you're not currently missing some specific motherboard feature,
then why would you consider changing motherboard?

Do you require any of these:

extra M.2 slot?​

extra wi-fi connectivity?​

extra optical audio out?​

​

If yes to any of those, then it might be worth it.

The M.2 slot would be nice, but not a necessity. I guess I'm just wondering if the B550 would somehow be better to have for my next upgrade down the road. But by then, I'll probably want an AM5 board.

Yup, save up for a new system. Not much difference going to the B550.
