The B450 mobo if you want assured out of the box compatibility with ryzen 2. If that X370 does not have a BIOS version that supports ryzen 2 a ryzen 2 chip wont work in it. And it doesn't look like there is any way to update the BIOS on that mobo without having a ryzen 1 chip on hand.

So B450 or X470 if you want to be sure the BIOS will be compatible with ryzen 2.

AHh it was very hard to choose but the mobo has to be MSI or ASUS but one youtuber said that the VRM on the ASUS 450-F wasn't as good as MSI ones but i want the RGB and i want storeMI but i also might overclock because i got the cooler master AIO (the one with the single RGB fan) so i was looking at the x370 but with the prices i might aswell just get the 2600 over the 1600 and the 2400G.
