[SOLVED] Help an inexperienced pc builder chose a motherboard

[Tom donaldson]

I'm trying to pick a motherboard for my 3700X to use for gaming, I am stuck between an X470 and X570 board. Im not too interested in PCIe 4.0, and overclocking potential would be nice but not necessary as I am planning on using the stock cooler. I also don't need built-in wifi.

From some research, I have been recommended this X470 board: https://www.ebuyer.com/914639-msi-x...t=97907&utm_campaign=PCPartPicker, LLC_206719

What I am struggling with is knowing if a X570 board is worth the extra money at my budget as I don't know what extra features you get with this board ( I would appreciate an explanation on this), my budget is preferably under £150. I don't plan on any extreme overclocking and needs to be compatible, if this is even possible, with a Corsair CX600 PSU (once again I don't know much about motherboards and compatibility I'm sorry lol). Thank you in advance for any help you can give

With the guaranteed support for the next generation CPU with a 570, I would not get a 470 today -- https://www.tomshardware.com/news/amd-zen-3-b550-x570-motherboard-compatible
It is possible that 470s will support the next CPU, but why risk it when you can have guaranteed upgrade option.
