Getting a 3800x with a cheap motherboard might not be the best idea. Spending all your money on a CPU and dropping it in the cheapest motherboard you can find has always seemed strange to me. Wouldn't a 3700x with a better board offer you much more in the long run? I mean save on the processor and lose very very little and get a decent cheap x570 board like the Aorus Elite or the TUF Wifi. It might soon be that you do want that gen 4 pci-e after all!
