Help me Choose a AM4 Motherboard

[2013]

Hi Guys

Could you help me Choose a AM4 Motherboard, Im not looking to spend too much on the board so the high end options are out for me.

Im a bit confused with the different boards available should I go for a B350 or X370

I want to stick in a 1700 or 1600 with the option to upgrade with the 2nd gen next year.

Budget I was thinking £150

Thanks, I've been looking at the K5 motherboard trying to see if its worth paying the extra.

I still cant seam to make a choice.

Will all the above boards be fine to use with a 1700 or even a 1800x if i upgraded in the future ?

I went for Gaming k5 and 1600 @ 4.8 , would have gone for Gaming k3 to keep the costs down if it was out but the k5 does look sweet with XTR card ... Or two

The K5 is a good looking board and my first choice at the moment.

How did you manage 4.8 off a 1600 ?
I may need so pointers in the future.
