[BlueEyesWhiteDragon]

Going to be up grading my dell OptiPlex 990 mt motherboard and my i5-2400 cpu. I'll convert to amd no problem, if needed.

what's a good motherboard cpu combo for me? something audio worthy and can still game.

 also: already have a MSI Radeon RX 570. a CORSAIR CX Series CX450. and CORSAIR Vengeance 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600.

Avoid, it's overpriced. 

 

B450 tomahawk Max is better, and cheaper.

It has better power delivery, so the CPU can reach higher clocks when PBO is enabled, or when overclocking. Also, PBO is enabled by default on most MSI boards.

I guess my next move is upgrading to a ssd. as the harddrive rn is VERY slow. And loud! lol

But I want to avoid overclocking... does this very the results in the mobo and cpu selection.

In which case the PBO feature will do everything you need. You still want good power delivery. The Max series is also guaranteed compatible with third gen ryzen, but the strix B450F is not.
