Hey!

 

It's my birthday next month (the 24th of November), and i decided to treat myself with a new PC!!

 

I do need a little bit of advice,

I'm planning on getting a RTX 3070 graphics card, but i'm not sure which motherboard and cpu to pair it with... i was thinking about either a Ryzen 7 3700X or a Intel i7-9700K, and for motherboard i have no clue.

 

If anyone could help me i would really appreciate it!

 

thanks in advance!

If you're planning on building it in November then wait for zen 3 and check what it has to offer first since it's around the corner, also don't bother with coffee lake, it's a platform that wont get updated and is more or less dead. 

Wait for zen 3 and check what it has to offer. 

PC: Motherboard: ASUS B550M TUF-Plus, CPU: Ryzen 3 3100, CPU Cooler: Arctic Freezer 34, GPU: GIGABYTE WindForce GTX1650S, RAM: HyperX Fury RGB 2x8GB 3200 CL16, Case, CoolerMaster MB311L ARGB, Boot Drive: 250GB MX500, Game Drive: WD Blue 1TB 7200RPM HDD.

 

Peripherals: GK61 (Optical Gateron Red) with Mistel White/Orange keycaps, Logitech G102 (Purple), BitWit Ensemble Grey Deskpad.

Alright, ill wait for more info on zen 3. So i should be able to get a x570 or b550 motherboard right? or does zen 3 offer a different chipset? 

Most likely offer a new chipset, but if not a CPU to update your bios or max series motherboards that have a larger bios chip are your two options, current max boards don't support them obviously, but it would day zen 3 ready somewhere
