According to this reddit take on gigabyte launch, seems like may 27 might be the date for launch of zen 2. I will wait then since it will take me another one more month before the announcement at AMD

In any ways, thanks for all your help. if i can't wait within these few weeks, then i will get this build!
CPU - AMD RYZEN 7 2700 8-Core 3.2 GHz ($375.49 - Newegg, $648 + MB from PC themes)
MB - MSI B450I GAMING PLUS AC Mini ITX ($187.43 - Newegg)
RAM - 32GB DDR4 3000
Casing - Thermaltake Core V1 ($79 - PC Themes/Lazada)
Carbide Series™ Air 240 High Airflow MicroATX and Mini-ITX PC Case ($139 Bizgram)
PSU - Seasonic Focus Plus 650FX Gold ($159 - PC Themes)

Also, based on this reddit rumour on that MSI won't support Ryzen 3000 on *any* B350/X370 boards, its a surprise that you guys propose b450i which might support zen 2.
CPU and RAM from Newegg. Motherboard must get local for warranty purpose. Chassis local for saving shipping cost & risk.

playing steam basic games, not too intensive (i have consoles for games)
