I wasn't sure to put this in Builders Advice or Motherboards as I will likely have other questions depending on how this goes. Please move this thread if need be.
Since I'm working from home due to the Rona, I've been starting to toy with building out a new system to replace the one in my specs. Main uses will be gaming and home office work (web stuff, word, nothing crazy). At the moment I play on an older 60hz 1080p Dell Ultrasharp. I plan on upgrading this at some point to 1440 so the system will need to handle both. For the time being I plan on keeping the 1070 Ti that I currently have. I have been really toying with the idea of moving to AMD with a Ryzen 3600x or 3700x. I know that I'd like to stick with a mATX system and really like the Corsair Crystal 280x RGB. One of the issues I seem to be having is finding mATX X570 boards. I've been using PC Partpicker and have also looked at Newegg (my prefernce) and both only seem to have 2 options available. I don't plan on overclocking from the start but may consider down the road (just as with my current system, I plan on keeping this for a while). Realistically, what am I loosing by going with a B450 board over an X570? I don't keep up with stuff as well as I used to, is overclocking even possible on a B450?
Sorry I know that was a lot to read so TLDR: If I went Ryzen, what would I miss out on by going with a mATX B450 board over an mATX X570?
Above all, thank you for your answers and your patience!
Edit, forgot budget. $1200 USD without GPU upgrade. $1500 with.
