Yes exactly. The advantages are on pcie Gen4, more compatibility with future cpus, better voltage regulators (useful for high end cpus like 5950x). More or less the other things are the same. But if you can, I'd recommend you to take a cheaper motherboard (like a B450 tomahawk max) and get a better cpu like a 3700X or a better gpu

Thank you for the help!
I hate that there are sooo many mainboards that are more or less the same and you don't really know what the differences are or what you should just buy. I can buy one for 100€ or one for 180€ and I'm not sure if this is anything worth.
The B450 Tomahawk Max doesn't have wifi if I see this correct?
It has wifi, the M.2 Slot I wanted and should be compatible with the desired cpu, also it is relatively cheap. Also it looks like it has those USB-Ports that are powered when the pc is shut down, which could be nice? I probably won't upgrade the cpu then for several years, the last one was good for 7 years now (AMD FX 8350), so I think I won't look to much into future-proofing it and get a new one in some years? But maybe you are right and I will get a better cpu then the 3600, but this mainboard would be compatible with all current AMD Ryzen CPUs, correct?
