Thanks for all the information everyone

Thank you all for the reply’s. As far as airflow I have plenty at the moment with a Corsair graphite 780t case but I am also looking into getting the cooler master h500p mesh case. I would imagine both of those cases should be plenty of airflow. What is it specifically about that board that makes it run warmer then others?

Thanks I appreciate the reply. I’ve been searching the list of compatible memory for the Ryzen 2700x and couldn’t find this particular ram anywhere and wanted to make sure it would work. I know there is issues with some 3000 Mhz memory sticks not clocking correctly due to compatibility.

So I’m looking at switching from my i5 6600k to a Ryzen 2700x. Motherboard I’ll be using is the Asus prime X470-pro. I have a set of (CORSAIR VENGEANCE RGB PRO 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 3000MHz C15) ram that I want move from my current built to the new one but I’m wondering about compatibility.

That essentially answers my question. Thank you very much for your reply.

what would make more of a performance impact in gaming, upgrading my motherboard and CPU or my GPU?

My budget is around $1,000 for upgrades. Currently I just started playing Anthem which I know the game needs some performance tuning but would still like to see more FPS then an average of 40. I play a wide verity of game but want to be set for the current and next gen of games.

I’m looking for some advice on what the best upgrades would be for my system. Current specs are as follows: Cpu: intel i5 6600k 3.5GHz Motherboard: Asus Sabertooth Z170S Ram: CORSAIR Vengeance RGB PRO 16GB 3000MHz GPU: Nvidia GTX 1070 8GB Founders Edition PSU: CORSAIR RMX White Series, RM850x Cooler: CORSAIR Hydro Series H115i Monitor: Dell Alienware 1900R 34.1", Curved Gaming Monitor, 3440 x 1440p Resolution, 4ms 120Hz, NVIDIA G-Sync. I also have 2 SSD drives one being dedicated to my OS along with a 2TB barracuda HDD. Main use for this PC is gaming. I do get good performance for gaming. I’m looking for advice on what upgrades I should prioritize. I’ve been looking at upgrading to an RTX 2070 but unsure if that’s the best choice over upgrading the CPU and motherboard.
