[MOBO] MSI (B450 Tomahawk Max) (pre-order)

This really is the standard price. If you want a 570, get the asus x570 TUF, which is so good it competes with its own higher end boards and makes them irrelevant according to Gamers Nexus.

This board is amazing at one button overclocking. There are a couple shortcomings that you should be aware of: the i/o is essentials only, there is only 1 m.2 slot, and for onboard rgb all it has are 6 lights on the back of the board (top right) that really just look like crap without rgb strips assisting. They can be turned off, but with some additional rgb it looks fine, just not as good as other boards with rgb accents, backlit areas, etc.

The vrm and overclocking is so good that I took my ram kit that I could barely get running at 3000 (and it would stealth crash occasionally even though it passes stress tests) to run at 3333 with no crashing whatsoever. It might even go higher, but I didn't want to push it and drop my latency or create a heat issue.
