If you are not going to overclock then B450 is the better choice. No sense paying for power phases and a higher end VRM configuration that you are not going to use anyhow. I would look at mid tiered boards though. A lot of people have had issues with low end B350 and B450 boards especially when it comes to instability issues with memory which seems to be worse on these lower end boards especially with high speed memory, than on those with better power phase dedicated to the memory and that is not typically found on any of the lowest end boards.

Both those boards are probably about equal in terms of quality AND features. Honestly, I'd spend a little more and get this which is a little better quality and has slightly better power delivery/more power phases and likely a list of other features not found on the other two boards as well. I'm not going through them all to verify, but those other two boards probably have less capable network adapters built in, less capable storage controllers or half Intel half ASMedia controllers. There is a reason why boards costing 20 dollars more COST 20 dollars more and it's usually because it has more favorable hardware on them.

The two boards you listed will work, obviously, but they are the very lowest quality boards for X470 and usually you do not want the lowest priced boards from ANY chipset or generation because they are cheap for a reason.

They are also likely to have more issues with memory configurations that boards that are tiered closer to the middle of the pack.

All B450 and X470 boards support overclocking. Some are much better than others though because they have better power delivery systems with higher number of power phases or better quality VRMs.

If you don't plan to overclock then I'd go with whichever Gigabyte board you can afford. Personally, I don't particularly like any of the MSI entry level boards as I see a lot of problems with them here on both Intel and AMD platforms.

No, it's not, but if you are talking about either of these boards, then they are ok.

MSI has good boards in the middle and upper tiers.
