Question need some help before upgrading cpu & gpu

[dionisistam75]

ryzen 3000 came out 2 days ago and today asrock released the motherboard list that supports this gen..atm i have an asrock ab350m paired with an r5 1400,16gb 2400mhz ram and gtx 1060 3gb..i wanted to upgrade to ryzen 5 3600 and gtx 1660 ti but my motherboard doesnt support ryzen 3000..so do i upgrade to r7 2700 and gtx 1660 ti or go for new mobo(asrock b450m-pro4) + r5 3600 and wait a little longer for gpu upgrade? (gtx 1060 is struggling on games like bf1 and bf5 that im mostly playing)

(i live in greece and r7 2700 is under 200eur at the moment while r5 3600 is around 230eur).
(mATX mobo because of my case)

"so do i upgrade to r7 2700 and gtx 1660 ti "

I don't think you need to upgrade the CPU to run the 1660 Ti.
I think your R5 1400 should run it OK.

yes i know that the 1660 ti would be good for my system at the moment but i really think that i need a cpu upgrade in order to play titles from next year (like cyberpunk)..r5 1400 is already struggling with bf5 and i dont know if a gpu upgrade would solve this problem.

Then I would go with the R7 and keep the MB.
That R7 is a huge jump from the R5 1400.

Id recommend getting a 1660 Ti now, then waiting for b550 motherboards to come out, then get one of those. Then, in a year or two, get a Ryzen 3600
