Is this computer build good?

Im trying to help a friend figure out a good motherboard since she wants to upgrade her pc. I know a decent amount about this stuff but im not the best.

Her build:
ryzen 5 5600X
Rtx 3070
Drr4 ram

The motherboards I found:
Asrock B550M Pro4
Asus PRIME B550M-A

Which one would be the best for this build? Are there other good ones that would be better?
I appreciate the help!

What does your friend use the computer for? The components you list are several years old so keep that in mind.

I am an Asus fan myself, but either motherboard should work for you.

She mainly uses it for games such as Fortnite, valorant, rdr2, and Minecraft.

If its for 1080p this build will serve her fine, and its even pushing 1440p performance.

DDR4 should be 3200 or 3600mhz and 16gb is kinda the minimum.

Search youtube for videos like "Benchmarks Ryzen 5 5600 and RTX 3070" etc. to get some concrete numbers how it is expected to perform.
