I'm in the final stages of upgrading my PC build and have narrowed it down to two motherboard options: the ASUS Prime from my parts list and the ASRock B650M-HDV/M.2. This is my first time picking my own parts, so I'm treading carefully! I'm only swapping out the motherboard, RAM, CPU, graphics card, and cooler, while reusing other components from my current setup. I'll also be adding an NVMe M.2 (WD Blue, 250GB) just for the operating system. Given that I'm on a tight budget but these two options are pretty close in price, is there a significant difference between them? Thanks for any insights!

Honestly, both motherboards are pretty budget-friendly and won't have huge differences. I'd lean towards the ASUS Prime if it's already an option for you, but if you want something a bit sturdier, the ASUS TUF series is worth considering too.
I've heard the TUF Gaming A620M-Plus is a solid choice! It might be pricier, but if you can stretch your budget a bit, it could be a good investment for stability and features.
