You're planning to upgrade your PC soon with a Ryzen 7 3700X, RTX 2080, and a B450m DS3H board from Gigabyte. It's good to know you're checking how much you can stretch your current build before needing more upgrades. The board is indeed budget-friendly, so sticking with it might be a safe choice unless you're comfortable risking performance. If you decide to upgrade, consider whether your motherboard supports the new components or if a replacement would be better. For safety, pairing a Ryzen 7 3700X with an RTX 2080 on a B450m DS3H is feasible, but ensure the motherboard can handle the thermal and power demands. Your current setup with a Ryzen 5 2600 and GTX 1660 is solid, but you might want to explore a more powerful CPU or GPU if you plan further upgrades.
I’d definitely upgrade that board, wait for the B550 release and then get one. The current board has small VRM heatsinks, so I’d prefer a model with bigger heatsinks and better features. If your case can accommodate an ATX board, I’d choose something permium with a comprehensive feature set.
