I’m not nearly as knowledgable as others on here, so I’ll let someone else answer this question for you, in case I suggest a bad choice.

There’s a few B450 options for mini itx, like the Gigabyte Aorus Pro.

ASUS STRIX B450-I Gaming ITX or Pay a bit more X470-I Gaming ITX ,
Both have the best Phases True 6 + 2 &
also got 1 x PWN CPU header / 2 x PWN fan headers ,
Lovely RGB lights, Good amount of USB ports,
Best ITX boards for phases on the Ryzen 450/470

Or go for the
Gigabyte B450-I AORUS PRO WIFI (Socket AM4) Mini-ITX Motherboard

4 + 2 phases

No ITX boards have the bios flash button, So you will need a CPU
The 3 ITX boards are the best Looking Also & all come with RGB headers & great fan control

Yea ive just seen that board looks decent and wondering how much the x570 equivalent would cost if this is £150

At a total guess, I’d say about £2-250.

Would the Asus X470 be the best of the bunch and would serve me will for a few years with a ryzen 3700x?

Yea ive still yet to see prices on the x570s but i have seen there is a Asus ROG Strix X570-I Gaming.

Asus line I hear going to be a lot, it is Asus after all

ITX board easy £220 or up & Really you just be paying for few more phases

Asus still not got all the specs up on the X570 line, only basic info.

Yea just read an article and seems to be state $100 increase which normally converts to £100 dont really be wanting to pay £250-£300 of the motherboard as well as £300 for the cpu and whatever memory i need

Also you state 450/470 itx boards dont have usb flash so does that mean i would need a amd cpu from older gen to flash to new ryzen ?

Darren_uk · 26 Jun 2019 at 21:57

Yes you will need a 1000 Series or 2000 Series Ryzen CPU to flash the bios

also a graphics card - Evga Gtx 1070 SC ?
if not then a 2200g or 2400g or a Athlon CPU with built in VEGA graphics will be needed

Can always Give OCUK a call & ask if they could flash the Motherboard befor purchase
ask a friend or shop
ask AMD for a upgrade kit to borrow

Mency, the cheapest CPU to buy to flash bios for new 3000 series CPU is

Athlon 200GE VEGA Graphics AM4 CPU 3.20GHz (Socket AM4) Processor - Retail £49.99

Would be probably best putting that £50 towards a X570 wouldnt i.

Just noticed, Gigabyte are Based in the UK & Europe, Also got how own REP on Here.
are good, Don't know about RMA with Asus Europe,US

If you can Wait, tell Reviews/ Prices & Pre-orders on the 7th...then maybe wait for x570

always resale the CPU after bios upgrade get your money back.

"asus" and "rma" don't normally go together in the same sentence, unless it's separated by "bad" lol

It's even a dictionary entry:

Oxymoron - examples include: Asus RMA.

Asus / RMA = Bad
