Consider pairing Ryzen 7 3700X with B450 F ROG for optimal performance.
I'm planning a new gaming PC and think I don't need the X570 since I only want minor upgrades for better FPS. I also don’t need PCIe 4, as I’m mainly a gamer and just starting 3D modeling for my CR10 printer. My question is whether the B450 will slow things down and if it’s worth the investment.
I noticed the exact motherboard you're interested in—no flashback support needed, and it doesn't come with a second-generation CPU.
Consider an MSI B450 Tomahawk MAX with gaming plus MAX or A-PRO MAX. They come with the 3000 series built-in and strong VRMs, making it easy to upgrade to a 3700X without issues.
