Solution
If certain to upgrade to the 2700x, I would opt for a 2600 rather than the 2600x. The 2600x is 20% more expensive, for less than 10% gain. Other differences being that the 2600x gets a Wraith Spire over the 2600's Wraith Stealth, and consumes almost 50% more power. Having said that, the 2700x is less than 10% faster than the 2600x for being 60% more expensive, but you get two extra cores if they can be utilised.

I wouldn't go down the road of planning for two CPUs to be honest. A lot of cost. While the 2700x is more expensive, the stock cooler is decent enough for most people. I balanced the cost of it, over a less expensive option, but with a 3rd party cooler. I ended up with the 2700x stock, and am happy.

As for the best motherboard, I suggest you use this thread to see the lists of motherboards, and their parts - http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/id-3502839/am4-motherboard-amd-ryzen-cpu-specs-comparison-list.html

i see. im planning on upgrade to ryzen 2700x for the next 5-7 years later maybe not upgrade at all so now i want to consider if this mobo is having good enough VRM for both 2600x and 2700x. and i dont know how many VRMs do i need for both cpu so it doesnt overheat, new for the ryzen build here. for the coolers, im thinking something like corsair h115i v2 maybe some recommendation with the same $$$ and good quality.

sry for my english
 
I am currently running a Ryzen 5 2600 (which I can OC to 4GHz) on an ROG Strix B450-F Gaming with G.Skill Trident Z RGB 3200 (F4-3200C16D-16GTZR) RAM running at 3400 MHz.
I have an Arctic 33 epsorts edition cooler and my CPU idles around 27-30C and maxes out around 55C after gaming for a few hours.
My motherboard and PCH Temps idle around 40-41C and max out around 45C.
So I am sure it will handle the 2600x or 2700x at stock speeds with a decent cooler.

If you were to upgrade to a 2700X you would only do it in 5-7 years from now? At that point don't bother taking it into account when buying your mobo now, by that time they'll be better CPUs out and it'll be time for a new mobo (and probably RAM) anyway.
