Probably all over this site but looking at upgrading to a ryzen 7 3700x from my i7 4790k and looking at motherboards is there any major issues with some chipsets that i need to look out for/ what are the best ones to look at.

B450 motherboards that are guaranteed to work with third gen ryzen are all MSI motherboards with MAX in the name. The ASRock B450M/AC is also guaranteed compatible. Otherwise, all X570 motherboards are guaranteed compatible.

 

What kind of budget did you have for the CPU, mobo, and ram?

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

That gives you quite a lot of room. Do you plan on upgrading past an 8 core for non-gaming workloads? If not:

All of those things will go quote smoothly on a 3700X, no need for 12 or 16 cores.
