So you're building/updating ITX rig?

Is main use gaming?
In that case 3700X would be bang per buck choise now and then you could later upgrade to improved architecture Zen3.
MSI B450I would have better VRM for high core count CPUs.

650W level PSU is enough.

I'm downsizing into meshify c mini, that msi mobo is out of stock, also I want to get the best cpu I can afford at the moment, as I tend to stick with it for a couple of years(atm I'm on 3770k had it since launch). what about memory compatibility?
 
While Intel upgrades now only new sockets for same rebranded architecture, AMD brings multiple architectures for same socket.
And for longest usage life without complete overhaul Zen3 would certainly help.
Also AMD lowers prices of previous gen and 12 core Zen3 might be available for nice price after DDR5 platform Zen4 comes outs.
Though for longest life without CPU changes 3900X is best bet by having lots of cores for games regardless of background bloatware increasing.


For small cases Seasonic Focus and those based on its would be good with their 14cm depth.
