Need a updated core bundle from a I5 3570K is this the way to go ?

Mainly a gaming machine, I play a lot of the BF franchise up to a resolution of 3440 x 1440 amongst other games.

Do I need faster memory than 3000mhz for an overclock on the Ryzen 7 ?

if you wanted to push ryzen hard with a good cooler, 2700 and overclock to 4.2ghz all cores, samsung b-die with ram calculator will hit 3600hz nicely with that board , as well as being flagship x470 will be able to handle 12 core + future ryzen chips just fine!

if just after plug and play and not interested in a few years of pushing 5ghz on 12 core plus chips then b450 and standard 3000hz ram . go MSI, Strix-F has been Superseded with Strix-E which is the BEST VRM designed B450 board but you cant get it here via resellers...

1 x ASUS ROG STRIX B450-F GAMING (Socket AM4) DDR4 ATX Motherboard= £119.99

On that motherboard you certainly don't want to be overclocking Ryzen 7.
Its CPU VRM is garbage with very weak phases (like most below mid level Asus AMD boards) and even at default settings 2700X can make it overheat.
In The Stilt's testing it overheated to throttling limit after 12 minutes of x264 encoding.
And even if it won't reach that, it's still going to run hot, which also eats lifetime of VRM's capacitors.
It would be basically good only for Ryzen 5s.

Asus has been pretty much scamming with their gaming hype names lately sticking that Strix or TUF to lots of cheap garbage.
(X470-F again has very good modern VRM)


Anyway Zen2 Ryzens are likely going to bring major performance improvement in few months.
So wouldn't count any value on overclocking something which doesn't really overlock, courtesy of GlobalFoundries' node originally designed by Samsung for phone/tablet CPUs.
Besides notable architectural improvements Zen2s are made on TSMC's node more modern than Intel CPUs use.
