If you're looking for a good motherboard to house a new second- or third-gen Ryzen processor, the Asus ROG Strix X570-E Gaming fits the bill, especially after the $50 discount that brings it down to $279.99 for Amazon's Black Friday sale. And it's a Tom's Hardware Editor's Choice winner, so you can rest assured this board is a good fit for AMD's latest silicon.
The Strix X570-E Gaming straddles the line between a 'gaming' and 'pro' class motherboard with a bevy of features, like seven Type-C and one Type-A USB Gen2 port, 2.5GbE and a standard Gigabit Ethernet port, and two Wi-Fi antennas. The board also comes equipped with BIOS Flashback to ease the update process, and eight SATA ports. You also get an attractive dollop of RGB goodness with ASUS's Aura Sync RGB lighting.
The only compromise with this motherboard comes in the storage department: The motherbaord only comes with two M.2 ports instead of the normal three, but offsets that with an extra four SATA ports.
