Yeah I went with a x570 fo my Server a good year ago for the 3900x, though that was a cheaper one and kind of a cheaper time haha. I doubt I would use all the PCI channel's and such, but I do tend to use more heavy stuff as I do rendering / encoding and like adding stuff into my system. My biggest need this time around is getting more M.2 Slots Though I guess I could look into a PCI Card for that.sswilson wrote: ↑ Or a decent B550 would do the trick. All the same features as X570 with the only real difference being a lower number of lanes so it's only an issue if you plan to populate more than one PCIe X16/8 slot at which time they start turning off sata ports and/or downgrading the second NVMe slot. (I grabbed a B550 Tomahawk during the lead up to christmas and have been more than happy with it).
