Order of upgrades over the next few months:
GPU: Gigabyte GTX1070 G1 Gaming 8GB // Zotac GTX1070Ti AMP 8GB

Processor: r7 2700x
Mobo: an x470, but no idea which :s22: need recommendations
RAM: 8gb x 2 first, maybe later upgrade to 32gb, so need recommendations (do i need 3600mhz or like 3000mhz will do?)
PSU: reuse
Casing: Reuse
SSD i got 1x126, 1x256, HDD 2b all reusing

Anyway, motherboard you can consider the older B350, and ram at 3000 is good enough.

Get GPU last. Newer gen nvidia in bound this year (likely)

Also, not a big deal running without sync. Unless you're doing competitive gaming, then get a gsync one as it's easier to match with gpu choices from nvidia which have larger market availability.

budget not really a concern, but i dont want to go past the point where the increase in performance not worth it liao

AMD GPUs are still way overpriced. To power this monitor, at least a Vega 56 required.

yup, i might just go with a g-sync monitor although it will be much pricier

Anyway, motherboard you can consider the older B350, and ram at 3000 is good enough.

im actually considering the asus prime x470 or the gigabyte x470 aorus gaming ultra. price wise asus seems to be almost 100$ more but reviews seems to favor both of them equally.

or should i wait for the b450 lol
