will the b450 be enough for heavy gaming and slight overclocking? Streaming and recording as well. Also I’m probably going to get a 2070 down the line so imagine that there

and will it support the 3200 speed?

I wouldn't suggest buying a new 1070, Pascal is out of stock and out of production. The RTX 2060 is a better choice at that price, this MSI seems fine. If you want a 1070, buy one used for like $200~.

Corsair also seems to have replaced that power supply with a newer version as the older is now out of stock.

I also wouldn't stick a 2700X onto a B450 micro atx board, I'd try to find a standard ATX, nicer motherboard, even more so since that case places the hardware front and center.

As others have said, highly recommend you don't skimp on a cheaper motherboard, get a nicer quality one & you'll thank yourself later.  Not familiar enough with AMD's modern stuff to suggest a specific one myself.

 

Other than that, should be good for what you want it to do.

Primary Rig:

CPU: AMD 7800X3D @ Stock PBO - Mobo: Gigabyte X670E AORUS Master

2 x 48GB G.Skill Trident Z Royal 6400MHz CL32 1.35V @ 6200MHz CL28-37-32-30 1.5V (still tuning)

CPU Cooler: EK AIO that will be being replaced when I get the chance - PSU: eVGA P2 1200W

GPU: Gigabyte RTX 4090 Gaming OC @ either 2595MHz @ 900mV or 2970MHz @ 1070mV

Case: Thermaltake View 91 - SSDs/HDDs: 1 Samsung 980 Pro 2TB, 2 990 Pro 2TB M.2s, 1 990 Pro 4TB M.2, 1 TeamGroup Cardea Z440 2TB M.2, 1 Seagate EXO X10 10TB HDD

Monitor: Samsung Odyssey G9 49" Super-Ultrawide 240Hz Monitor

Why buy this used when you can get a new 1660 for a little bit more?

...for 6% less performance and 2GB less VRAM...what a bargain!

may i ask why is that? what makes a mobo a good mobo for overclocking?

VRMs. they need to be good quality and *require* good cooling. 

 

example of massively overkill vrm

example of cheap vrm

NOTE: here im showing you example of quality in numbers. quality of VRMs also depends on the actual modules. in general, just go with higher number vrm = better.

Actually the Asrock B450M Steel has really good VRMs for a M model, cpu true 4 phase cpu soc true 2 phase dram  true 1 phase.. which is as good as MSI Tomahawk B450.

Op I know I'm really late on this but does the steel legend motherboard rgb sync work with corsair vengeance rgb pro? Considering to use those ram along with that mobo, would be nice if you could reply
