Should i save money on my friends mother board?

[IllustriousTurtle]

So i have in my current PC a 5700XT, 3700X and a B450 TOmahawk Max Motherboard.

 

I just posted about his pc and having a X570 but do you think i would be a better off saving money by using the B450 Tomahawk Max and invest it into another part of should i go for a X570.

 

I kinda wish i got a X570 for future proofing but the more i look into the more i realise you dont really need a lot of the things the X570 offers, the main one is fast storage.

You get PCIe 4.0 and more lanes etc and some other stuff by using a older motherboard with new CPU and what not.

fast storage would only come into play for use cases like video editing or photo editing with massive files

Great build.. The the PSU doesn't have to be 750.  A 550w evga will do.  Also I guess it your country because the RAM expensive as hell.
