Yes, it should work. Using a third-generation Ryzen board with your second-gen CPU is compatible and future-proof.

Yes, all AM4 CPUs fit onto any AM4 motherboard, though using a newer CPU on an older board might need a BIOS update—this is simpler with boards that support BIOS flashback. The main benefit of choosing X570 is PCI-E 4.0, which offers minimal extra value for most users. X570 models generally provide stronger power delivery compared to earlier generations, making them suitable for high-end chips like the 3950X. Many previous-gen boards still perform well (e.g., the MSI model referenced), while B450 boards remain more affordable right now.
