No where near enough information.
I suggest you Google the difference between the two chipsets. Honestly it's easy to figure out which you need then.Fair. Looking to build a 1440p rig for gaming. Likely a Ryzen 7 3700x paired with a 5700xt in either a Coolermaster NR200p or NZXT H210.
Not sure if the extra for the X570 is warranted?
I was weighing this up yesterday and for an ATX board with enough SATA ports and fan headers for my requirements, the price difference between B550 and X570 was £30... so X570 was a no brainer for better VRM, cooling, and I/O etc.
I could've saved £50~ by going with B450 but I didn't want to risk getting one that wasn't Ryzen 3rd gen ready, and avoiding any future 4th gen compatibility problems.
As a future proofing cost, for the incoming new GPUs, £30-50 isn't that much.
Looking to build with a mini-ITX board
What impact does that have? Still muchbmuch than SATA SSD?... the second M.2 slot being 3.0 not 4.0...

so hardly a deal breaker.
B550 will be okay with the incoming new GPUs. Only makes a difference of your running 2 or more cards where the lanes come from the chipset.I was weighing this up yesterday and for an ATX board with enough SATA ports and fan headers for my requirements, the price difference between B550 and X570 was £30... so X570 was a no brainer for better VRM, cooling, and I/O etc.

Plus you could have saved even more, I got around £50 back due to the B550 deal. Plus another £10 because I got a CPU at the same time. My MSI Mag B550M basically cost me £95.
Looking to build with a mini-ITX board. Would you go with a B550 or X570?

Here's a good video, I'm going ITX hopefully by the end of this year.
B550 Aorus ITX
Power delivery over its counterpart x570 is a nice bump . And then better UK RMA then MSi and Asus combined
Thanks I'll take a look
avoid asus b550 boards i have both the tuf and strix wifi, nothining but problems with the bios (tuf versions 0803/805 stopped computer cold booting with docp enabled) and on the strix 1004 bios stopped 3 usb3 ports on the motherboard working when in windows, (they work fine in the bios) so flashed back to 0805 and they started working in windows again
go with gigabyte my friend has one and no problems with his, thinking i may sell the asus and jump to gigabyte.
