I am putting together a new Ryzen build and am debating on going with B350 vs. X370. I'm looking at Ryzen 5 2600x and GTX 1070 TI for the CPU and GPU respectively. I have no plans to SLI right now but I have a GTX 1070 working in a mining rig that I may retire in a couple of years. I wanted to know if the B350 chipset supports DX12 multi GPUs, so that when I do plan to retire the mining rig, I can put the GTX 1070 in my gaming PC. Now I know that the GTX 1070 and 1070 TI won't SLI (infact B350 doesn't support SLI) and that the DX12 multi GPU mode might remain a pipe dream with very few game developers supporting it but if the latter does happen I want to just want to have an option to put an old graphics card and be able to extend my useful PC life.

Also, if B350 doesn't work out, should I think of spending another $30-$40 more and get the X470 instead of the X370 ? Is it worth that extra money ?
