I recently took out an old rig to upgrade, and I discovered that it still had a first gen Ryzen 7 1700X, and a B-350 plus motherboard. I was wondering if I should get an X-470 mobo and use the 1st gen chip till it dies (then get a 3rd gen ryzen) , or should I get a X-570, splurge on a 3rd gen, and not be able to use the 1700X
 
Solution
That Ryzen 7 1700x and B350 MB is still a very solid setup.
I'd wait 6 months to a year before I considered upgrading those.
I current have an OC'd 2600 and that 1700x performs around the same as my CPU so IMO upgrading now would just be a waste of money.
