I ran off like a yahoo and ordered a number of parts to build my first Mini ITX and I can't believe my ears with what I am reading.
There were only two choices, none others:
asrock mini ITX X470 - has displayport output
ASUS Strix Rog mini ITX X470, no displayport

Bought the ASROCK, can't get it to boot (POST), I ordered a Samsung EVO Plus 1 TB, it's not on the supported list (unbelievable), and also all other 1 TB M.2's I lookup on the list can't be found on Amazon or Newegg, seems like asrock is ignoring the newer hardware coming out,.
The memory I ordered (G.SKILL), is listed as supported for the motherboard on G.SKILL's website, but not on ASROCK's website, and the memory I lookup that is on ASROCK's list, is listed as Intel memory on Amazon/Newegg.
I'm having trouble finding, figuring out what I need to buy to get this thing going. asrock does not have support.

Wanted: higher end stuff (memory, M.2).
cpu: AMD Ryzen 2700X

I am convinced, that, when going the Mini ITX route, AMD is not the way to go, rather Intel, but the whole point of a mini system is to build a somewhat lower cost, lower wattage system, that I don't get with Intel, and possibly mini ITX, if I must do AMD, then to go with Micro ATX to get more motherboard choices. I question why asrock is still putting PS/2 connectors on their motherboard, any ideas?
