What's it for? Gaming?

 

If so, you won't need a 3700x, a 3600 will do fine. With that, unless you need PCIe 4, which it doesn't seem, a good B450 board will do well.

Its hard to find a b450 board with wifi in the UK, if you could help that would be brilliant. I will probably end up going for the 3600

Looks good. I would only suggest you maybe look into upping your RAM to 32GB if your work requires it. It's quite easy to max a 16GB kit these days. If not i see you left a path to upgrade later, which is good!

I was just looking at that board found it from a reputable website: https://www.scan.co.uk/products/msi-b450-gaming-pro-carbon-ac-amd-b450-s-am4-ddr4-sata3-dual-m2-2-way-crossfire-gbe-ac-wifi-usb-31-g

 

Thanks a lot

If the system is just for gaming, 16 will be absolutely fine

I will be doing CAD design on the system also what about streaming will the 3600X be able to handle that well?

Why go with a sata m.2 and not a nvme one?

3600 should handle it well, that's where you may want to go back to the 3700x- due to the multitasking. Extra cores and threads are handy for that

could you please explain the performance difference and potential price difference

A nvme ssd uses the PCIe interface rather then the sata interface. Read and writes are much faster over the PCIe interface (up to 6gb/ps) instead of the around 550mb/ps a sata one. The price diffirence for a 1tb drive is roughly 50 euros.
