Hello there. I'm thinking about updating my mother and CPU soon from a AMD gigabyte 970a-ds3p REV. 2.0 am3+ to a Gigabyte AMD Am4 gaming motherboard. I currently have new AMD RX 570 4 GB and Thermaltake toughpower 750 watt Gold Certified plus in my current setup gaming PC. I would like to get at least a very fast 6 or 8 core CPU AMD newest CPU out there on the market and Overclockable gaming decent AMD motherboard.

My current setup is
XFX AMD RX 570
AMD fx visher or black edition 4300 4 core 3.9 GHz Overclockable
140 mm CPU radtior cooling system with blue light fan
4 pin LED fans system fans red + white and blue American colors
Motherboard gigabyte 970-ds3p rev. 2.0
Thermaltake Toughpower 750 watt Gold Certified plus brand new.
Light Strips all in sides
F1 Diamond PC Case which I modified the front for better air flow.


Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

My advice is wait a couple of months, stocks of the newly released B550 Motherboards will increase and you will be able to find out if there are any faults from those buying them on release.
AMD's new Processors are coming out too, so if you want the latest, best to wait for them.

B550 sounds good. Do you know when they are coming out. And what CPU are newly coming out or what model.

Is there any chance shipped from America instead of UK

b550 motherboards are available now, also I wouldn't personally recommend waiting on new AMD CPU's as if rumours are correct they may not even be out this year and you could well be waiting quite a while, grab a 3600 and a decent b550/x570 motherboard and some decent b-die memory and you will be set for a a good while yet, of course you can then also upgrade to Ryzen 3 at a later date

Ryzen 3000XT are on the 7th of July though, so not a long wait for those...

Found a good breakdown of the B550 boards with rough pricing in the US as well, although the file is made by someone in Korea.

Since you want Gigabyte, I'd say this is the best overall B550 ATX board from them, for not insane money. Also, it was just reviewed here so...
Keep in mind the limitations of the chipset though.

Note that the Ryzen 3000-series isn't all that overclockable. Get some decent RAM, ideal speeds are 3600-3800MHz with as low latencies as you can afford.

Thanks for your help and time to reply. Yes I have already have a gigabyte motherboard installed but it's a AMD am3+ version 2.0. I have a XFX AMD RX 570 4gb gddr5 3.0 PCI Express card. I thought I would install a better PSU a gold certified PSU to help stop the flickering durning gaming. XFX AMD RX takes max 180 watts to run on high graphic card settings. The PC case is already sticker up with gigabyte logos that I've bought and installed on PC case. So I figured no uses to change over different brand or PC case since I've had it almost a year now in October. Plus I've modified the front of the PC case for better air flow. Since it before it would over heat before. A bad buy of PC case, but it's better now for as air flow. 47 degrees C° depending on how the my room temperature. I've also applied CPU and GPU with Artic 4 thermal paste. So it's helping with cooling system and CPU and GPU. Best quality thermal paste I have ever bought. I have also have 8 gigabyte ram installed. But I'll have to sell the motherboard plus the cpu, and ram if I'm going to upgrade since I probably won't be used it anymore

No, it's all DDR4 now. Aim for 3600-3800MHz depending on your budget.
