I wouldn't say so. AMD support MB's better than Intel do.
It kind of depends on how much Bells and Whistles you want. High end boards are focused on Gamers and Kit hackers (Fan headers and LED lighting power).
If you are buying a Ryzen 9 then I'd get a MB to match it of else you rise bottlenecking it's full potential. However if you are putting it in a solid steel case/not water cooling/LED lighting get the cheapest one with the X570 North / Southbridge Chipset.

You could buy the 9 first, put it in your current AMD MB and then upgrade the MB later when you have the extra cash?

Is spending £200 a lot on a motherboard for the high end PC I want? My IT friend from work seems to think so...
