I recently bought an MSI MPG B550 GAMING EDGE WIFI since it had a discount. But I'm feeling a slight buyers remorse already, since the MSI MAG X570 TOMAHAWK WIFI only cost 22 USD more after a discount. So I was hoping to get some input due to my planned usage, to find out if the B550 is sufficient enough.
Basically I'm building a new computer. So I'm planning to either get the ryzen 5800X or 5900X. And a RTX 3070 later down the line when they are available again (plan to use my GTX 970 from my old rig while I wait). And I plan to get a M.2 NVMe that is PCIe gen 3, due to the cost of the ones that are gen 4, unless I happen to stumble upon a discount closer to black friday. Also plan to throw in an HDD drive and a left over SSD that I tried to use on a laptop that turns out to not function. I have never overclocked before so I cant really say that I plan to do this in the future either. The usage would be split between gaming and audio/video editing (hobby, not professional).
I have been a bit out of this lately since I built my previous computer back in 2014. But based on what I have listed above, at least from my point of view, I'd say that the B550 fits my use? Considering that I dont really need two M.2 with PCIe gen 4, and that I'm only going to use one GPU and nothing else card wise. Since the motherboard already has wifi and bluetooth. I hope to keep this rig for at least 5-6 years as a side note, since I game in 1080. Is there anything else I have overlooked in regards to what this particular X570 brings to the table in comparison to this particular B550? I'm also worried about the fan that comes on the X570 in terms of how long it would last.
