+ looking at your original build I'd consider just going with the cpu cooler that comes with the 3700x - you can always upgrade later if you feel the need, & Ryzen loves fast ram too, so consider sticking something faster than 3000 in there.
Quote from: Chaosphere;438536Avoid the 2700X now the Ryzen 3000s are out - get the 3700X instead.
That B450 motherboard is theoretically fine, but it will likely not support the CPU out of the box. The older motherboards require bios updates to support the new CPUs.
I strongly suggest anyone purchasing a new Ryzen CPU read through the link below. Many motherboards will be easy to update with a simple USB drive, but some may require a bit more tinkering... Just make sure you know what you're getting yourself into before purchasing.
