This is a good discussion for me since I too have been thinking on
getting a somewhat modern AMD motherboard. Things I would like is pcie
(ideally v4 but can do v3) slots (4+) and memory. The latter
requirement made me think on going to ebay and getting a server board
as those memory cards are
For what it is worth (probably not much), I just built a new
system with a GIGABYTE Z390 AORUS Ultra, selected primarily because
it had 3 M.2 slots on the motherboard, so I could replace all my
rotating disks with much speedier M.2 sticks.

I just put together a new machine for myself.
ASRock B450M Pro 4 (you have to make sure that a firmware update was done
on the board for this CPU, early ones were not ready for the newer CPU)
Ryzen 7 3700X
(I used my existing nVidia 750Ti card, which requires their
proprietary drivers.)

Yup, all of my desktops are AMD and have been for
I'm looking for the best bang for my buck, and of course
Linux (Fedora) compatibility. My criteria are simple:
- inexpensive
- best bang for the buck
- must have PCIe 3.0 x 16 slot
If I pick Intel based, I'm pretty much assured everything will work,
but it seems that going AMD will get me better
