I'm planning to buy a new motherboard for my i9-10900 build and can't decide between an X470 or B450 one. Any advice?
i9-10900 Performance on X470 vs. B450?

B450 is the way to go! They offer better value for money compared to X470. Plus, they're fully compatible with the i9-10900.
I've been using a B450 motherboard for my build and it's been working great! There's an insightful article on TechReviewer that goes over this in detail. Choosing the Best Motherboard for Intel's Core i9-10900
Thanks for sharing that link, @apieceofbrownie! The article really helped me understand the differences between the two.
I've had a good experience with X470 as well. It offers more PCIe expansion slots and improved USB connectivity compared to B450, which might be important depending on your needs.
True, but if you're looking for a budget-friendly option without sacrificing performance, B450 is a solid choice.
Thanks for the input, everyone! I think I'll go with the B450 since it offers great value for money and should work well with my i9-10900.
