Why not wait? it's only 2 months away... because if you'll buy now to buy again later might as well grab an i7 9700K already and be done with it.

 

X570 motherboards might bring quite new features to the table as well so you'd be missing out getting a X370 ~ X470 at this time with focus on Zen 2.

Biostar's new offerings might have what you're looking for then, yet unreleased but cool looking:

BIOSTAR-X570-Racing-Motherboard-AMD-Ryzen-3000-740x471.jpg

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 needATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explainedgroup reg is bad

This with a new Ryzen CPU would do nicely

I haven't chosen one because X570 boards aren't out yet, and if you're getting a high end PC when Ryzen 3000 comes out then get a high end X570 or B550 board to go with it.

Here's a Gunmetal theme as requested. CPU and Motherboard omitted since they aren't out yet. Every part is gunmetal except the SSD/PSU. The RGB on the cooler can be turned off.

Would you say there would be a problem with getting a corsair h115i liquid cpu cooler for the zen 2 chips?? Someone said there would me

The AM4 socket coolers should work on the next gen, since it's still AM4.
