Question Recommendations for an X570 upgrade?

[BrandonFitzpatricc]

I currently have the MSI X570 gaming pro carbon wifi, which I’ve had since August. I know it seems really soon to upgrade, but I have a few reasons for why I want to. First, I have broken USB 3.0 pins on the board. Second, I lost my m.2 screws, and they’re proprietary from what I’ve heard (I know, I’m an idiot) and third, the board just isn’t great from what I’ve heard. I personally haven’t had issues with the board but I’ve heard really bad things about it, and I want a board that’ll last me a long time, so I’m unsure if this board would be able to do that. Since X670 is supposedly coming out in early 2020, I was thinking of upgrading around May, once the prices of X570 boards drop. I have the 3700x and I’m planning not to upgrade that for a long time, probably around 5 years, so I feel like a high end X570 board would fit me better than a mid ranged X670, I’m just a little unsure which once I should go for. I’m considering going all out and going for the AORUS Xtreme, but I feel like it might be a bit unrealistic and straight up unnecessary. So I’ve also considered boards around the $400 (as of right now) range. I don’t wanna make the same mistake I made with buying the gaming pro carbon, so does anyone have any suggestions? If this helps at all, I have a decently high end rig with DDR4 3600 memory, a 750W power supply, a water cooled CPU, and a GTX 1080 which I’ll likely upgrade in the following months. I’m most likely going to eventually switch to m.2 SSD’s as my main storage.

Nothing wrong with your current board. Upgrading is like flushing money down the toilet.
