I was originally going to buy an X370 board, but all (except the Biostar, which I don't want) are out of stock. So I got to thinking on whether or not the B350 would be fine for what I want anyway.
I'm building a Ryzen 1800X box for mixed gaming, graphics (Photoshop, After Effects, etc), 3D rendering, and video editing. I don't have any desire to go SLI or Crossfire. But I do intend on buying the fattest, nastiest single GPU I can find. Which is the 1080 Ti, whenever it pops back into stock. Going to run a Samsung 960 EVO 1TB M.2 drive for boot, and probably 2x 3TB Seagate Barracudas for data. Going with 32GB of RAM in two DIMMs, since Ryzen seems to have issues with four, and 32GB will be useful for all my graphics work.
Overclocking will only be casual. Whatever the low hanging fruit is. If I can get some MHz for free, I'll take it. But I don't really care overmuch. Not going crazy on OCing.
Given all that, is there any downside to going B350? If not, Asus or ASRock B350 boards?
