I just got an MSI GTX 1070 Ti Duke [2 slot] on eBay (not a scam) for $315 that arrives tomorrow. I know I need to get a new power supply; it's a 500W (80+ WHITE!) power supply by EVGA from a couple years ago, but should I wait to get the next Ryzen cpu, i.e. Ryzen 7 3700x or i7-10700K (X? 10?), or just get like a Ryzen 3 2200G and a cheap mobo to get and then sell when 3rd gen Ryzen (Ryzen 2) comes out in a few months? Or should I just deal with microstutters until Ryzen 2 comes? I currently have an i3-6100 and a Gigabyte H110M-A that I'll try to sell for ~$96 and ~$35? respectively on eBay. That'd cover the cost of $95 for the Ryzen 3 2200G and $36 of the $85.75 for a Gigabyte B450M DS3H motherboard.
Also, with the power supply I was planning to get a 750W (I know I don't really need it unless I'm going to overclock, but if I'm getting a Ryzen 7 3700X or something with 16GB of Corsair Vengeance 3200 MHz RAM so I think it's adequate) power supply; either the EVGA SuperNOVA 750W 80+ GOLD (Fully Modular) for $89.99 right now on Newegg or the CORSAIR RM750x White (Fully Modular 2018) 80+ Gold for $99.99 on Amazon (both normally $129.99). I was thinking maybe the RM750x simply because it's white, 750W, 80+ Gold and it's white so it'd go with the NZXT h500 or h500i which I'm planning to get.

What's your intended aim?

The CPU aspect has little to do with the white colour scheme you seem to be wanting for a new PC build.

There's a sense you are willing to accept a lower performance level before a 'final' CPU upgrade to whatever new CPU is available later. Keep in mind technology keeps moving on, and there'll always be something newer and better. Whether it's worth upgrading depends on how comfortable you are with current performance (the microstuttering - in that particular case I suggest you see if you find a solution to that in the meantime) is for you to judge.

You don't really mention how much you'll spend for the intermediate upgrade. With an updated BIOS you could see if there are i7s available for a reasonable price.
