I saw a 1700 for a price that was too good to pass up so am 1/3 of the way to my next upgrade (coming from a 3570K/16GB/290). My original intention was to actually buy a 1600 and pair it with an X370. I remember seeing the likes of 8 Pack saying it would be better to get a better mobo now as it will pay off when upgrading to a new Zen on AM4. So should I go all out for a top of the line, overclocking, X370? Which fits this bill (I am a sucker for RGB)? Same goes for memory. AM4 platforms can now run >3GHz? I think I might like to purchase 2 x 8GB sticks now so I can put another set in later as I don't want to purchase the full 32GB now/soon.
I have an NZXT Kraken X52 to cool the 1700 - can hopefully get it to nearly 4GHz.
