Im planning on building a pc and my current plan is a 3700x with a msi b450 tomahawk, If in the future I would want to upgrade to the new 4th gen ryzen processers would I need a different motherboard? would it be the b550 mobos? Also is there a motherboard that supports the 3700x and would support the next gen ones?
 
Over the years, I have observed that those upgrading a processor usually accompany that with a new motherboard.

Yes, there may be processor compatibility, usually via a bios update, but a new motherboard and chipset will offer added benefits.
