Hey all,
I'm excited for the new ryzen processors coming out. i plan to build a new gaming rig and was seriously looking at the new x570 motherboards till i came to the below conclusion, tell me if i'm off?
Btw i plan to use 32gb 3200 memory, 1tb m.2 drive, stock cooling (not overclocking), and buy the best 500.00 gpu at the time of build (probably august or sept). gaming at 2k (2560 x 1440)
So in total if im only gaming and can only use at best a 8 core proc and current pci 3.0 bandwith. Why pay for the x570 and put up with the extra noise (you know tiny fans are loud)
im hearing those x570 motherboards are going to be starting at mid 200s for the low end. i could get something like the asrock B450M steel legend for less than a hundred bucks.

Please tell me if im wrong, if getting the above motherboard would be lacking in anyway compared to a x570 mb for just gaming.
I realize the ability to add in several years a new pcie 4.0 graphics card is a plus but i rarely upgrade. i usually build a system use it till it doesnt work for me then new build.
thanks all for the info!
ps. many motherboards are including heatsinks for m.2 drives, yet so do many drives come with heatsinks, do you use both or one or the other?

- Really dont need more then 8 cores for just gaming. right?
- pci 4.0 isnt needed for video cards as 3.0 isnt reaching saturation yet and sure for m.2 drives my load time for a game might decrease by like 2 seconds?
- Seems due to the possibility that you might throw a 16 core on x570 mb and you might use all that pci 4.0 bandwith they are adding more expensive vrms, lots of heatsinks, and noisy little fans.
