Currently I have the ASROCK AB350 pro4

I'm looking at getting the:
MSI - X370 GAMING PRO CARBON ATX AM4 Motherboard
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/zBH48d/msi-x370-gaming-pro-carbon-atx-am4-motherboard-x370-gaming-pro-carbon

Is there better options without spending an ass ton more?
My CPU is the ryzen 5 1600
ddr4 3000 ram (currently have corsair vengeance)
EVGA Geforce GTX 1050ti
I'll be changing out my PSU with the mobo to a modular one.

Let me know guys. One of the cool features of this mobo that id like to keep is the RGB capabilities it has. Currently have a red/black build.
Not looking to pay much more than what the MSI board costs now.

That motherboard you picked is fine.

At w/e price point you pick, motherboards are pretty much the same. Just stick with the larger companies. Like.... ASUS, MSI Gigabyte, AsRock

Personally I like ASUS, they seem to have the best manuals.

I liked the ASRock. But after three mobos, I still haven't gotten one that has all 4 working ram slot. (Keep getting 2-3 that work.)
So I figured I'd look at another Mobo. Heard some good things about the MSI x370 but wasn't sure if that's what I diffidently want to go with

I put them in the general order they seem to get in the reviews...over time.

Like I said, I like ASUS the best. AsRock is sort of the budget end of the decent motherboards. Generally with AsRock the higher priced boards, seem to perform better.
MSI has a problem with lack of details in their manuals.
Gigabyte has the dual bios motherboards, well they had it first.
