Solve : The battle of the chipsets - B550 vs X570 - which to get??

Answer»

Hello!
So around a year ago, I've bought a new awesome gaming RIG with a 3600X and a B450 board.
I haven't expected it to come that fast, but I've managed to put my hands on a new fast and cool PCIe 4 M.2 drive, and now I obviously need to get a new motherboard to support it.

My question is, B550 vs X570! since these two chipsets EXIST for some time now, I wonder what will be the better option.

First of all, ill probably use the board on stock SETTINGS (ill probably set up a fan curve and enable PBO, but unlikely ill OC the CPU.

I've found an X570 board (Aorus Elite Wifi) and a B550 board (Aorus B550 Elite), and the prices of both boards and PRETTY much the same (both around 200$ each, new in box, just not from an official store).

So what board should I go with considering the fact they are both new in the box? If that matter, my next upgrade to the rig will probably be a new Ryzen 7 CPU (either 3000 or 5000, depends on the price), and I might upgrade to 32GB RAM as well, adding 2 sticks to my current 8x2 3200Mhz setup or buying 2x16 kit 3600Mhz if I end up buying a 5th gen CPU.

Thanks to everyone who will be able to help me make a good choice!Really tricky question If you look on the budget then I would suggest b550. It still has pci4 but just for one graphic card and one for nvme / m2 drive. If you are satisfied with one drive (system nvme) and another the standard ssd (sata), then is ok.
X570 on the other hand has usually better option for powerfull cpus (like 5800, 5900 or 5950 amd). And maybe better peripheral support on the board.
But, if the price is almost the same...I would go for x570. And, some better b models are sometimes better than low cost x models.
