I currently have a AB350 pro4 motherboard and a NVIDIA GEFORE RTX 2070 gpu. My current CPU was a placeholder till I could afford something better. I am getting an AMD Ryzen 7 3700X and was wondering if I would have any problems with my motherboard not being as high tier has the gpu and cpu.

I just checked the product page and yes it will work with a 3700x. You need to update the Bios with the current CPU or it won't post though.
