should i wait for ryzen 3

My computer has a i5 6600k,1070,32 gb of ddr4 ram but i wanted to upgrade it. I wanted to get the 2700x but then i saw that amd is releasing 3rd gen cpu's. So i got confused in which one should i get the 3700x or the 2700x. and will the new gen be compatible with an x470 motherboard

At this point, id wait and see how things go.

Well you still have a good build so you mind as well wait. Compatibility depends on whichever manufacturer updates the motherboard BIOS but they'll more then likely release boards (X570?).

Just wondering what speed is your memory?

Well i have 2 different kinds. One of the 16gb is form kingston and is rated at 2133 and the other is from crucial and is rated at 2400

You'd want faster memory, going from 2133 to 3200 on a Ryzen platform can make a 20 FPS difference depending on the game.

The 2nd gen (2XXX series) CPU's will work on any B450/X470 motherboard. Even if you want to overclock a bit I'd take a higher end B450 over a low end X470.

I was thinking of replacing them to with the corsair pro rgb 3200 16gb

That would be ideal.
