Based on your setup, tier D should suffice. Your current configuration with the MSI B450 Mortar Max looks adequate for your needs. The MSI B450 Pro-VDH might be a better option if you plan to upgrade later, but it’s not necessary right now. Both boards are available locally.

A level D board would suffice for trading activities

It's odd that tier D reaches the 3700X while tier C caps at 2700.

It's normal for Zen+ to deliver higher performance per core compared to other options. It's essentially a boosted version of Zen.

Imagine purchasing the MSI B450 Pro-VDH, which is a higher tier, and later switching to a 3700X or 5800X. The performance differences would likely be minimal if you run them at their original specifications.

The Pro-VDH Max works well with both the 3700X and 5800X models. Keep in mind that the Pro-VDH V2 and regular non-Max versions have inferior VRM compared to the Max, but they still suffice for these chips at their default settings. Edited April 10, 2021 by Haro

Sure, that makes sense. My upgrade route remains fairly broad.

I believe I’ll end up getting the Tomahawk Max. It would expand my options for the 12-core Ryzen chipset. Mobo is the only component that really helps with future-proofing a build.
