I’d like to see a decent X470 or X570 motherboard with a 3700X but otherwise yeah

Replace P400 with P400A or P400A Digital.
The rest is fine.

Why? The Tomahawk Max can easily run it with a PBO and overclock. It achieves better VRM temps than some cheaper X570’s.

That’s why you don’t go for the cheaper 570s? Also gives you more headroom if you want to upgrade later down the line so a 10 or 12 core

and has PCIE 4 if we exceed gen 3 x16 in the next 5 years.

A review of the Tomahawk Max running a 3950X https://www.techspot.com/review/1942-ryzen-9-3950x-b450-motherboards/ There are other reviews with similar results. I have to admit it would feel wrong using a cheap board but it does seem perfectly capable. As for PCIE4.0, maybe a benefit but only if you have intentions of running top tier cards, its going to be a long time before mainstream, cards saturate 3.0.

Those are at stock speeds though. If you enable even autoOC they’ll struggle.

Did say 5 years and being optimistic. Never know you could end up with a high end card later down the line.
