I might commandeer this thread a bit, then. Back in 2013, it was this forum that helped me decide on my last motherboard, and now there's controversy whether I should get a B550 or an X570. The B550 team has a ~£50-£100 price advantage, and the X570 team has the advantage of nebulous claims about how extra PCIe 4.0 lanes will help me in the future without actually giving any examples of things they'd be good for. Both teams think I shouldn't go for the bottom end of the chipset and should get a higher-end board.
In 2013, NaturalViolence told me to get one of three ASRock boards, then they were all out of stock, so after a bit of back-and-forth, it was settled that I should get the cheapest Z87 board with Crossfire and SLI support and reasonable reviews, and that worked well. I've not really heard any non-nebulous claims about why that strategy wouldn't work with B550 or X570.
Maybe the Dolphin forums can come to my aid once again.
