Best Motherboard under £200

[Superflyguyuk]

Hi All

I'm soon going to start my first build, and need some advice. The Mobo's I'm looking at are the msi X470 gaming pro max £130, the msi b450 tomahawk max £115 or at a stretch Asus TUF Gaming X570-Plus Wi-Fi £179. Online there seems to be a bit of a conversation about which is best? And quite frankly i'm not sure which to go for!

A couple of guys on here have suggested the X470, however I wanted to spread the net a little wider just to see what the consensus is.

Just so you know the build is for my 50th so the whole family are contributing towards it and my budget is aprox £850. I tend to play RPG and FM20. But I need a set up that is the most future proof. I am planning to buy a 144hz Monitor for Xmas, and then thats it for a few years! I hope only to add extra RAm and maybe some M.2 storage.

Oh and any suggestions on graphics would help the RTX2060 is the one I'm favouring right now.

The Build is probably going to be as follows

Processor AMD Ryzen 5 3600 £150

Mobo msi x470 gaming pro max £130 OR msi b450 tomahawk max £115, OR Asus TUF Gaming X570-Plus Wi-Fi £179 (Need help deciding!)

Graphics Asus TUF Gaming GeForce GTX1660 Super Overclocked 6GB Edition HDMI DP DVI Gaming graphics card £219 OR EVGA GeForce RTX2060 KO Ultra £340

Storage (I want to use my existing storage)
3TB TOSHIBA (SATA )
1TB TOSHIBA (SATA )
2TB Micron (SATA (SSD))
1TB GB (SATA)
Optical Drives TSSTcorp CDDVDW SH-224GB

RAM Crucial Ballistix 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 CL16 Memory £68

Case Corsair 200R ATX Mid Tower Case £50

PSU SeaSonic FOCUS Plus Gold 550 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply £80

Price range £682-£867

TUF Gaming X570-Plus WiFi (AMD AM4) DDR4 X570 Chipset ATX Motherboard is Over £200 the Non-WiFi is Sub £200

The high demand board but a little out of budget is the MSI X570 Tomahawk (stock should hopefully be available next week) but still might be on back order due to large volumes full info in here

The 3300x is 4 core and can be got for £120 so would cover the difference in spend https://premiumbuilds.com/cpus/ryzen-3-3300x-vs-ryzen-5-3600/

Also id go for basic on the GPU until September until next gen cards are released, no point in spending money now if you don't have a good monitor to take advantage

Might be better to wait for the B550 boards.
