Basically I was "gifted" a 2700x recently. I am not a heavy computer user anymore since I'm getting close to senior year (even my old I7 would've been OK, but now I have to upgrade since I got a new cpu).
So, I don't really know which motherboard to pick. At first I thought, I'll just get a good B450 MOBO, but then I rethought and said, maybe I won't change this piece of gear in the near future (I have plans for the future, house upgrades and job requirements) and got B450 out of my mind.
But then it came down to X470 or X570... I don't see quite a big difference in them.. But X570 seems more future proof. (I plan gpu upgrade in the future, maybe more nvme drives and maybe a 10gbps Nic and not necessarily but in a few years a cpu upgrade ).. That's about it
Budget was 100-150€ but now since I've seen some X570 prices... I'll max at ≃ 200€.
There are decent options in this price range.. But I don't know what chipset to choose... What are your thoughts?
