Hi guys
Would appreciate some advise/opinions on what motherboard to use for a Ryzen 3000 build (3700x most likely). With the lockdown and Rand rather low what would you consider getting at this point of time or near future? I checked online and see people recommending from B450 to X470 with X570 considered expensive with features not really utilized by current hardware.
Would you recommend:
I also see several MSI boards still available, but have a personal preference for Gigabyte/Asus/Asrock boards.
Thanks in advance for any advice.

Would you recommend:
- going for a B450 motherboard at this stage and later upgrading to a B550 later on which as i understood would be releasing in the near future?
- going for an X470 then upgrading later once new boards are available or X570 prices fall in the future? The X470 boards appear a bit scarce at the moment from my perusal of the online stores.
- waiting until the B550 boards are available?
- go for broke and get an X570 based on a pessimistic view of the possible future ZAR/USD exchange rate?
