[SOLVED] x470 motherboard or b550 for best performance with 7 3700x?

[Mzouaa89]

Hi everyone,
Currently I have Gigabyte x470 ultra gaming with r7 2700x, and tomorrow I'll get another MB Gigabyte b550 elite with Ryzen 7 3700x (bought them from a friend, low price)
my question is should I keep my old mb x470 and use it with 3700x or better use b550?
thank you

Can you talk to your friend about him just selling you the CPU?
No point in getting a new mobo imo
