But I don’t have an older ryzen to update the bios

It might be updated already, AMD has free boot kits for updating the BIOS as well.

 

There's basically no performance hit for using X370 over X470

 

But why not just get an X470 motherboard?

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...
 

Spoiler

 

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?

What's the price of the X470 Gigabyte Gaming Ultra and X470 ASrock SLI?

 

X470 also gives you StoreMI for free which is neat tech.

I looked up the price of the x470 version of my x370 board and it was 50 dollars more.
