Hi, 

 

I'm looking to upgrade my inlet i6500 to a AMD 3700x next week(ish).

 

I can't decide between the this two motherboards.

MSI B450 gaming pro carbon ac or  MSI x570-A pro

I'm not using my ram/psu from my intel build.

 

I'm going with: 

AMD 3700x

Corsair CMK16GX4M2B3200C16 Vengeance LPX 16 GB (2 x 8 GB)

Corsair VS650

GTX 1080

1 TB SSD
1  TB HDD
2 TB HDD

Motherboard TBD

 

Anyone have any input?

 

Cheers

 

Gary

It won't matter. So in that regard, stick with the B450 board

The B450 Pro Carbon is actually a better board than the x570 A-Pro so yeah I'd certainly go with it.

Thanks you :) 

Just wondering what are the major differences (that you get on the b450 over the x570)??

i have the msi b450 gaming pro carbon ac. the temps are amazing. it does what it needs to do. the bios is a bit meh but its fine no issues what so ever :) it even has a bios flash button so you can do it without the processor. But you do need to flash it for 3000 series ryzen. 

PC:

Arctic Liquid Freezer II 240 A-RGB           (cpu cooler)         |     (Psu)             seasonic focus plus gold 850w
Cooler Master MasterBox MB511 RGB    (PCcase)              |    (Memory)       Kingston Fury Beast 32GB (16x2) DDR4 @ 3.600MHz
