Be interesting to see what the 550 Tomahawk is gonna be priced at, considering the x570 tomahawk is sub 200$ and appears to be very solid. Upgrading time is near :)

I am very interested in pricing as well. Either I am going for the MSI carbon B550 board or the x570 Tomahawk.

I won't be pulling the trigger until Mid June on or after the 16th that is when B550 releases. I have yet to see the x570 Tomahawk for sale on either Amazon or Newegg.
