AMD Zen 2 (Ryzen 3000) - *** NO COMPETITOR HINTING ***

Oops! I assumed it being an x570 it was expensive. Ignore me then as I haven't looked close at this mobo.

My intuition would say it's fine as long as it has all the features you are looking for. (things like sata ports etc...)

Read some reviews but I'm sure it's adequate. I bought my x370 Prime Pro for about £150 so it was a cheap board and it is still going and I'm planning a 3700x or 3800x upgrade.

Thanks, reviews aren't yet available though I'll take a chance as it's Ryzen 3xxx compatible.
I don't have any user experience of M.2 ssd drives -hopefully I'll choose one that is compatible -
BLUE 3D NAND 500GB M.2 2280 6GBPS SOLID STATE DRIVE (S500G2B0B)
I.e. what is 2280 from M.2 referring to is this compatible with MSI X570 a pro

@Zeed
What memory tester do you use to find memory errors ?

I use 4 different ones just to make sure :D
Tpu Mem test + Ramtest + memtest5 + memtestpro.
But If I was to go with just one I would stick to Memtest Pro pass 400%+ If im testing final setting im doing 1000% pass.

It's compatible. 2280 is the size of the M.2. 2280 is the most common. Having said that, there's an argument for leaving the M.2 slots free for fast NVME M.2s which that particular WD Blue isn't. That one is the same speed as the Sata variant.

Both I guess. I'm more curious than anything.

For productivity, then the extra cores on the AMD side will wallop the 9900k

For gaming, anyone buying one of these CPUs won't be gaming at 1080p resolution. Would someone buying a £450-£500 CPU be gaming 1080p? I doubt it, so if they'd be playing on higher resolutions, like 1440 or 4k, then the differences in gaming is marginal at those resolutions given the GPU will be taking more of the workload.

Just my opinion though.
