[SOLVED] You have 550.00 what do you buy

[commizzar]

Okay folks, I have 550.00 to spend on a Motherboard & CPU. I already have a great case Lian Li 011 Dynamic and 16gb of Gskill ddr4 3200 Ram and a GTX 1080 FTW GPU. What should i buy for future proofing and for gaming. P.S. Monitor is the Acer Predator 35 in 100hz ultra wide.
Thanks in advance

B450 -F strix and Ryzen 5 2600

Keep that motherboard, update the BIOS to support Ryzen 3000 series, and drop in a 3900X and a big cooler.

Personally, I'd opt for the Ryzen 7 3700X and a lot of beer.
