Top affordable motherboard options for Ryzen 7 3700X
Based on what I understand, the BIOS will depend on the board maker. If they support 4000 series CPUs, which they haven’t yet, it seems likely they’ll adopt this only for premium boards like the B450s and X470s if they decide to. Keep in mind they aim to generate revenue.
This board already supports the Ryzen 7 3700X with the right BIOS update. The person didn’t specify a upgrade route except the cheapest motherboard option for that CPU. The 4000 series remains based on Zen2 architecture as mobile versions, though you’re right about their support status. If they plan to add support, it depends on the manufacturer, but since they already do, it’s likely they’ll be included.
Absolutely avoid skimping on the PSU. A solid 650 model would perform much better; you’ll likely find comparable options at a similar cost or slightly more expensive. Review the feedback to make your own decision.
