I fail to see how going with an older b450 board is better, unless Zen+ support (3200g/3400g) is important to you. Maybe the Asus B450i with dual M.2 would be better, but good luck finding it right now, and again you have roughly the same port counts and an inferior VRM compared to even this AsRock board.If you're looking at used B450 ITX boards that end up sub $100 then I can see the argument. Right now the Strix B450i (which is out of stock) is listed on NewEgg at $135, so $5 more for a ~2 year old board.
