my plan was to get the $200 motherboard because i know months down the line, im bound to either get the 3900x or 3700x (im really indecisive) sell the apu, and then save more cash to get the 2070 super then sell the budget GPU. i didnt want to get a B450 motherboard and pair it with listed CPUs above because depending on the merchant that sells the motherboard, i wouldn't know if the motherboard would come in with the new bios update that supports said CPUs , and if it didnt come in updated, i would have to buy another cpu just to update the motherboard, which i dont want to do. but at that point, i know i wouldn't just play games with that power. im a beatmaker. i know im going to render out 1080p videos and beats from my daw and do some editing here and there.....sooooo yea ? haha
