Hi all I'm currently looking at a used gaming pc but thinking about future upgrades. It has a MSI B450M-A PRO MAX Motherboard coupled with a Ryzen 5 1500X. Was wondering in the upcoming months would it support the new ryzen cpus? It has an rx480 unfortunately only the 4GB version so that would need upgrading but thought it was a decent starter pc for the asking price of £400 or is this too much? What u guys think?

What are the full specs, and is it just the desktop or do you get a mouse + keyboard etc?

RAM, PSU, SSD/HDD's etc

According to AMD it wont support the Ryzen 4000 series most likely, but you could always pop a cheap 3700X or something in down the line.

So the M/B, CPU and GPU mentioned above RAM is 16GB Hyper X DDR4 2999mhz. PSU is a Gigabyte PW400 which will need upgrading when GPU gets upgraded and comes with a 1TB SanDisk SSD. M+K I own already aswell as an AOC 144hz 1080p monitor.
 
Is it only the 3rd gen that run on the latest 7nm 'technology' (excuse me if this is the wrong terminology) or are there some that are available with it now?.

Ok think I'm confusing myself here it's new 4000 series cpus that are coming out but are still 3rd generation? So the motherboard above can take 3rd gen cpus but not 4000 series is this correct?. So what question should be is, is it only the 4000 series that use 7nm or are they some already available that could go in the motherboard I stated?
