Is it worth upgrading motherboard for Ryzen 5 3600

I've currently got a R5 1600 and MSI B350 PC Mate, MSI is apparently going to be releasing a bios update to support Ryzen 3000 series CPUs so I was wondering if I should even buy a new motherboard. So would buying a newer B450 board be worthwhile? I'll probably end up using my current board with it for a week or so until I can afford to buy a new board if I do end up getting one.

What do you want to put in it?

If r5 3600/x, 3700x it will be fine, but don't put a 3800x or a 3900x in it.

If it work on the motherboard, it's gonna be ok.

there's no benefit going to 450.

If there is a bios i would put a 3600 in that mobo just for laughs.

But if you want a good cheap mobo b450 tomahawk.

You probably won't have the boost that the new cpus have, just like the 2000 Ryzens.
Get a B450 Steel legend or a tomahawk.
