Hello there,
Im planning on upgrading from an i5-7500 and an incredibly scuffed motherboard thats smaller than it should be to a more fitting build; Ryzen 7 5800x and - well - theres the issue.
And before I continue, yes I realize getting a 5800x will be very difficult if not impossible, but that is NOT what im asking about.
My Question is, is getting a B550-F Motherboard, in place of a x570, a big deal in the current year? Yeah sure x570 is like - the shit - as far as I know, but the speed of PCI-E 4.0 is still limited to your components, which in turn dont even max out PCI-E 3.0 ports, no? So then, will I have to upgrade in the near future, if I buy a b550-F instead of an x570? (with near future I mean near enough that I will regret not buying it now)
The two specific Mainboards in question are btw the ASUS ROG Strix B550-F and Gigabyte Aorus x570 Elite - Yes they can be found for roughly the same price, but I found a upgrade kit with the 5800x and the Motherboard, in which the MB is priced considerably less, than if I were to buy it seperately.
Thanks in advance guys.
