[Motherboard] Asus TUF B450M-PLUS GAMING w/ DDR4-2666, 7.1 Audio, Gigabit LAN, CrossFire $89.95 PM ME $129.99

Great price on this motherboard. Requires waiting until next year for the bios update to be compatible with the Ryzen 5000 series. Supports 3000 series out of the box. One disadvantage is no PCIE 4.0. Any thoughts?
