High end B550 or Standard X570?
Hi, I'm building a new AMD RYZEN 5th gen desktop. I want to have great performance but no overkills.
Which chipset would you choose? I read that by definition X570 is better but a higher end B550 can be in some cases better than a medium tier x570.
See these please

Edit new links: Here are new links directly to the manufacturer instead of a shop:
MSI MAG B550 TOMAHAWK AMD AM4 DDR4 CF M.2 USB 3.2 Gen 2 HDMI ATX Gaming Motherboard
MPG X570 GAMING PLUS

My display has both DisplayPort and HDMI so it doesn't matter to me which one i can use. Though it would be nice to have a built in DisplayPort. I don't intend to use pci-e graphics since the prizes went over the roof.
Can you recommend the B550 one over X570? As you can see they are about the same price but the b550 has DisplayPort and 2.5G Ethernet while the x570 one doesn't have any of these. It's not a must as i only have a 500mbps connection but it sounds nice for the future
I'm also open to different models with similar specs
Thanks
