X470 Asus Prime vs Asus Strix

[Fengzhu88]

Hey guys been building a new computer and have decided to go with the 2600x. I'm currently looking at these two boards from Asus(Strix and the prime), and was curious for second opinions. I would prefer to get the x370 taichi, but I can't find any one who sells the versions that support 2nd gen ryzen out of the box, so I'm wondering which of the Asus boards would you recommend pairing with the 2600x and a 1060 6gb gpu. Thanks.

both will be fine, unless you are a hardcore overclocker, in which you are better off with neither board, I would suggest pick the cheaper one.

Asus Prime x470 Pro. x370 is great and x470 even better. Next one up and probably top MB for Ryzen is only ASUS' X470 Crosshair VII Hero for twice the price without any special benefits.
