Hi

I'm thinking of buying a new pc (currently have an i7 7700K) and i'm leaning towards Zen 4 mainly because, i think, with AMD there's more scope for upgrading cpu to your existing mobo, whereas when intel release new cpu generations they usually require a new mobo. i'm thinking for atleast a few years if i buy AMD then i'll be able to easily upgrade just the cpu, correct?

also, i'm not clued up on AM5 mobo's, which are the one's to go for or are they all similar? i know prices vary a lot.
