In theory, all Mobo's will deliver the same CPU performance. What reqlly differentiates them are their features.
For AMD:
A320 is standard
B450 allows overclocking on top
X470 allows SLI on top
When it comes to price differences, you're usually paying for quality anf nice to haves. This usually translates into better overclocking stability, better VRM, on-board audio, better quality capacitors, which are less likely to fail, and overall better quality materials. As for nice-to-haves, it's usually down to ports (either ports, USB generations and such).
If you're not interested in the bells and whistles, and if you're not planing on overclocking (or not that much at least) - that board will suit you just fine.

Thank you for the answer, but I am more concerned with boards stability as I read even here on forums that it has problems with system freezing. Apparently bad voltage delivery or something tied with bios according to ASRock forums, but this board is still recommended as perhaps the best one in its price range.
I intend to use it for business with either 5 2600 or 7 2700, no overclocking. So, you think I should go for it?

Actually, thank god you told me about your CPU. 2nd Generation Ryzen CPUs require a certain BIOS update to work on B350 boards. Unless you have a 1st Gen CPU to boot the BIOS and install the update, I suggest you go for a B450 model.
Usually the B450 counterparts are better as they refreshed the designs.

But I would suggest this one.
