Hello! Here’s a clearer version of your message:

Hi everyone, I’m looking for advice on what to buy. I have a Ryzen 7 1700 and a Strix B350 F gaming PC. I’m facing issues with the RAM and power connectors for the fans. I’ve sent it to RMA and now I’m considering two options: either get an MSI X470 GAMING PRO with a Ryzen 7 2700X or a Ryzen 5 3600X (I’ll sell the 1700), or go with an MSI MAG Z390 TOMAHAWK and an i5 9600K. I want my RAM to stay at 3200MHz without any problems, and I have custom loop soft tubing for overclocking. My RAM is G.Skill TridentZ RGB 16GB DDR4-3200MHz (F4-3200C16D-16GTZR). What do you think? Which choice would be best for me?

Wait for Zen 3. Avoid spending on outdated systems and old i5 chips. If you need something right away, the 3600 is a better choice than the 9600K.

It's unclear what you're asking about the X470 MSI GAMING PRO. The specs like 3600W power delivery don't directly relate to a 3600x resolution. Could you clarify your question?

I suggest a 3600 paired with a B550-A Pro. The 9600K isn’t worth mentioning anymore.

However, for Zen 3 we're uncertain about its stability when using RAM and whether it will function properly without problems.

Absolutely, focus on AMD and hold off on Intel until the Zen 3 release.

Upgrade to a better board and you'll avoid problems. Even Zen 1 typically doesn't encounter issues now.

Consider the benefits of waiting and choosing a Zen 3 CPU?

MSI X470 boards are terrible. Consider a B550 Pro4 or TuF instead.

I'm mentioning that because using the B350 F gaming version caused problems
