Hello, I'm assembling my very first gaming PC and have placed an order for a Ryzen 5 3600, an RTX 2060, and the MSI B450 Gaming Pro Carbon AC. I've noticed a small problem: the B450 chipset doesn't support Zen 3 architecture. I was hoping this motherboard could be used later for upgrades. While X570 boards do support Zen 3, they're significantly pricier and would require budget adjustments unless I opt for a more affordable model. I'm wondering if it's better to go with the B450 board now or wait for a lower-end X570 that fits my budget, keeping in mind the cost of returning the current one.

My choice here supports the B450 model, and if you're thinking about an upgrade, consider selling your board and CPU to stick with the existing platform. The X570 doesn't provide significant advantages compared to the B450 in practical use.
