MSI MPG X570 GAMING EDGE WIFI MOTHERBOARD
I paired it with a Ryzen 7 3700x processor and GALAX RTX 2070 Super with 2x Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB 3000mhz DDR4 Ram.
I have used both m2 slots for NVME SSD's and a regular HDD is in my build as well.

If you’re thinking about buying one of AMD’s Ryzen 3000 CPUs, such as the excellent Ryzen 7 3700X, then you may want to think about pairing it with one of their new X570 motherboards. AMD’s Ryzen 3000 CPUs still work with older AM4 motherboards, of course, including those with X470 or B450 chipsets, but they may need a BIOS update before you can start using, which isn’t the case for the out-of-the-box ready X570 boards. X570 boards also support the new super-fast PCIe 4.0 standard, which can chuck twice as much data around than their PCIe 3.0 predecessors – up to 64GB/s compared to 32GB/s.

I have paired this motherboard with Ryzen7 3700x, corsair vengeance 3200MhHz 8gbx2 and a 2080 super. It has very good support for RGB LEDs. My case is lit like a Christmas tree with some LED strips I bought and connected them to mystic light pins on the motherboard(This site doesn't allow me to post pics. Otherwise, I would very much like to show off my cabinet). It has dual M.2 support that I have fully utilized with a couple of NvME SSDs. The chipset fan dials itself down to 0rpm in low load conditions which reduces the noise a lot.
