Welcome to the forum!

 

First off, you'd probably get away with re-using that motherboard on the 3700X, depending on how much you're trying to push your overclock. If you're looking to replace it though, I'd recommend something like the Asus ROG STRIX B550-F GAMING or MSI MAG B550 TOMAHAWK. Both have good VRMs, I/O and features. If you need a ton of USB ports, you could look at the X570 chipset instead, but B550 has basically everything the average person needs IMO. 

 

As for SSDs, what kind of capacities were you needing? If it's only for two OS's and programs, you could just grab another 970 Evo Plus 1TB.

Main PC:

AMD Ryzen 7 5800X • Noctua NH-D15 • MSI MAG B550 Tomahawk • 2x8GB G.skill Trident Z Neo 3600MHz CL16 • MSI VENTUS 3X GeForce RTX 3070 OC • Samsung 970 Evo 1TB • Samsung 860 Evo 1TB • Cosair iCUE 465X RGB • Corsair RMx 750W (White)

 

Peripherals/Other:

ASUS VG27AQ • G PRO K/DA • G502 Hero K/DA • G733 K/DA • G840 K/DA • Oculus Quest 2 • Nintendo Switch (Rev. 2)

 

Laptop (Dell XPS 13):

Intel Core i7-1195G7 • Intel Iris Xe Graphics • 16GB LPDDR4x 4267MHz • 512GB M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD • 13.4" OLED 3.5K InfinityEdge Display (3456x2160, 400nit, touch). 

 

Got any questions about my system or peripherals? Feel free to tag me (@bellabichon) and I'll be happy to give you my two cents. 

 

PSA: Posting a PCPartPicker list with no explanation isn't helpful for first-time builders :)
