Upgrade to Ryzen. Good B350 Board?

[AziWazzi]

Hi, in the next few months I'm going to be upgrading to Ryzen(R5 1600), and I want to know what would be a good B350 board for around $100-$130AU.(~$105 USD or under) don't care to much about m.2 or the amount of pcie slots, I just need 1pcie 16x and a pcie 1x for my network card. Would like a full size board for my Mid Tower, but am not completely against mini boards. I have been looking at the B350 PC mate, but it seems crazy good for its price?? Does it have good power delivery for a 1600 at 3.8-4ghz? If I wanted to in a few years, would it be able to overclock a 1700?
Thanks to all, Alex.

I would pair it with at least 2666mhz RAM or faster.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but couldn't I overclock my ram to about that speed? I also just had a look at the motherboards and they both seemed very similar, however the pro4 is cheaper? Do they have similar OC capabilities? Is there any hidden differences it doesn't say in the specs? Thanks!

You could overclock the RAM faster (seen a few ppl overclock 2133 to 2666 w/o issues). Asrock boards are typically cheaper as there seen as a "budget" motherboard however I've had no issues with mine and have seen good customer reviews with the one I suggested. For overclocking you should be able to get at least 3.8ghz but it depends on the chip, also Ryzen (3,5,7) is pretty much limited to around 4.1ghz so I wouldn't spend more then needed to achieve that overclock.
