What size should it be? ATX? Mini-ITX? E-ATX? Also if you're going for a good price I'm gonna look for B450 and X470 chipsets. This however means that you might have to update the BIOS on the (but you can't use your 3600X for that).

Please mention or quote me if you want a response. :)

ATX. There is a deal in a store for Asus ROG STRIX B450-E, but it shows that it only handles 3000mhz ram with OC. I think I can add extra money for X570, but is it worth it?

X570 isn't really worth it if you don't want to take advantage of PCIe 4.0. IMO.

If the deal on the B450-E is cheaper than most other motherboards you can find then go with that. Otherwise you should consider one of these 2:

ASRock X470 TAICHI (might not be BIOS updated out-of-the-box)

MSI B450 GAMING PRO CARBON AC (this one can be updated without a CPU installed)

Seems like a good board. Doesn't have Wi-Fi/Bluetooth though. The ones I recommended does.
