difference between 570 / 550 / 450

[Bentbadly]

What is the difference between  570 motherboard and  450 board. I want to upgrade to take advantage of PCI 4, and future upgrades.

 

Thanks in advance.

what? X570 and B450?

X570, B550 and B450. The letter here is part of the name, please dont omit them.

 

B450 has no PCIe 4, B550 only has PCIe 4 on the top PCIe x16 slot and M.2 slot (some boards offer two PCIE 4.0 x8 or PCIe 4.0 x8 + 3 M.2 w/ PCIe 4), X570 has PCIe 4 everywhere.

Put it simply x570 is top tier chipset (not the motherboard since there's relatively shit motherboard with that chipset) you got the whole pcie gen4 connectivity with much more i/o than b550

B550 is, well, somewhat "stripdown" version of x570 you got less io plus you only got pcie gen4 doodads on the very top/ first pcie x16 and m.2 slot

 

B450 is last gen, more or less in the "same tier" as b550

for what CPU? What is the price of it?

[Bentbadly]

or should I just go to MSI MAG X570 TOMAHAWK WIFI, DDR4 Boost

[Bentbadly]

ASRock B550 Taichi AMD AM4 3rd Gen and Future Ryzen 289$ cad

MSI MAG X570 TOMAHAWK WIFI, DDR4 Boost 339$ cad

 

AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 8-Core/16-Thread or

Its not worth investing into a AMD system at this time for any "future upgrades" since they already announced a new socket type for the next gen.

Buildzoid from AHC recommends the b550 steel legend/B550 Aorus Pro on the higher end, or B550 A-Pro on the mid range.

There's no need to overpay and get an x570 motherboard unless you need the extra features it offers.

Alder lake is also going to get a new platform so you are kind of screwed either way

Not just "likely", it will be on a new socket.

so will this only effect the motherboard and CPU. or will effect all computers parts.

The switch from DDR4 to DDR5 may be a factor with the socket change.
