Right now you're using an MSI x370 gaming plus with a Ryzen 1700 CPU. You're thinking about upgrading to a 5600x and wondering if you should also upgrade the Mobo. It depends—upgrading might be beneficial if your current setup is underperforming, but it's not necessary just for a quick run. Let me know if you want more details!

Gaming plus stands out as a top X370 board. Its design closely resembles a B450 motherboard, and it comfortably supports a 5600X or 5600 processor.

You don’t need to replace the motherboard. The advantage of using Ryzen AM4 is its ability to be upgraded over time without needing a new board, which is a smart choice.

I think you're likely purchasing a refurbished unit for $80-100. It might be more beneficial to get a 5800x3d model if you can secure a good price on one. The mainboard is reliable, so you don't need to worry about upgrading it—just update the BIOS to support newer CPUs.

The X370 board will outperform most B550 models, offering a clear advantage for users who already have it. Update the BIOS and continue using this board until support ends.

Obtain a 5700x or 5800x3d version since the current pricing for the 5600 is unacceptable
