Hello everyone. I have been putting together a new build for Gaming/Rendering&Processing purposes (60/40%).

Here is the part list followed by some queries:

Parts:

RYZEN 7 2700X
Cooler Master MasterLiquid Lite ML240L RGB 2x 120mm fan slots
SAPPHIRE NITRO+ Radeon RX Vega 64
G.SKILL TridentZ RGB Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4 3200
PSU: AX760 (Salvaged from my 3 year old build)

------------------------------------------------------------
MOBO Choises:


ASUS Prime X470-Pro >> (Mixed online reviews/testimonies)
ASUS TUF X470-Plus Gaming AM4 >> (Mixed online reviews/testimonies)
MSI PERFORMANCE GAMING X470 GAMING PLUS
GIGABYTE X470 AORUS ULTRA
ASRock X470 Master SLI/AC AM4 AMD Promontory X470
ASRock X470 Gaming-ITX/ac AM4 AMD Promontory X470

(IF A MUST FOR LONGEVITY AND GOALS BELOW):
MSI X470 GAMING PRO CARBON
GIGABYTE X470 AORUS GAMING 5
ASUS ROG Strix X470-F Gaming

------------------------------------------------------------

SSD
HP EX900 1TB
or
SAMSUNG 970 EVO PLUS 500GB

HDD
Seagate BarraCuda 2TB 7200 RPM

I am aiming for mid to high end build, would like to OC the CPU to 4.2 preferably. And GPU to 1600+ (after adding a waterblock in the future).

My issue is picking a MOBO and it is quite jarring, would like one that would allow me to hit my OC goals and somewhat next gen proof with good enough VRM covers/heatsinks within range of $150-$170 if possible.

Can the PSU handle these components w/wo/ OCing?
are these part compatible? will i run into any issues?

any opinions are appreciated!
