For the best experience you'll want to get a motherboard with the latest x570 chipset. There are some reasonably priced models available from Asus among others.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.There is no reason to go x570 at this point. The only reason is for access to PCIE 4.0 and beyond NVME drives available in PCIE 4.0 (most of which aren't being recommended at the moment as good enough to drive adoption of the standard). x470 and b450 are the best values and the free access to Store Mi is a strong reason to stay with these chipsets (or upgrade from the 300 series boards). These boards are the best value and there are many strong Asus and MSi options (though I gravitate to the Strix and Crosshair boards).I have had great memory OC experiences with Asus boards (3400+ with b450 and 3600 without issues on x470). You need to make sure you have a 1000 or 2000 series Ryzen CPU in order to make sure these older boards have been flashed to a 3000/Zen 2 compatible BIOS. Also while I did choose to upgrade from 2700x to 3800x I don't know if I would recommend to do that unless you have money to burn. Thermals are hotter by comparison and while you will see differences at a benchmark level in actual day to day use I don't know if you would really notice. Those hard core users running processor intensive operations (video encoding, machine learning, data mining etc.) probably would still have value (though I recommend you wait for the 3900x drought is over) upgrading. These upgrades will be of most use to those on systems 3+ years old or Ryzen 1. To those in love with RGB. Make sure you are choosing a board with both 4 (12v) and 3 (5v) RGB headers or you will be dealing with finding conversion hubs. And to all of you motherboard makers, shame on you for making people having to think hard on this. If getting leather seats in a car was this hard we might be driving on vinyl still. Final thoughts is that these are great times to get into PC building (GPU pricing aside). Access to knowledge and some amazing quality from both CPU makers (Intel is still getting a smackdown from its pricing practices) and GPU makers.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Any X570 board you buy will work best with the ryzen 9 out of the box. It really depends on the features youre looking for. Generally speaking the 200-300 dollar boards are usually of higher quality and comes with better features. I recommend the X570 Taichi and the X570 Master personally as i have used both and I love them.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I am still waiting for the Ryzen 9 3900X to come back in stock to get one myself, but I did already purchase an X570 based board and running it with my Ryzen 7 2700. After much review and decision making, I went with the top end MSI X570 Godlike. Not regretting one bit. Has everything and than some and should last me until I am ready to upgrade again. It is also one of the only boards that has a Corsair header, to support Corsair ARGB fans and lighting right from the motherboard.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.X570 mobos are definitely your best bet for the Amd 3000 series if you got the extra cash. I personally got the Gigabyte x570 Aorus master.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I use an asrock x570m motherboard. ASRock X570M PRO4 AM4 AMD X570 SATA 6Gb/s Micro ATX AMD Motherboard. It works well so far. I liked this motherboard as it supports the corsair nvme ssd Corsair Force MP600 M.2 2280 2TB PCI-Express 4.0 x4 NVMe 3D TLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) CSSD-F2000GBMP600 I am really happy with the build.
