X370 when released, kept the mobo becauae no $$$ for cpu. Focused on work and forgot about it until 2700x came out. Used that… paired with my olde 1070 which i got from launch.
Then took the 3080 for gpu upgrade to drive 1440p UW. Found the 2700x struggling. Upgraded to 5800x3d this year as a birthday treat.
Now gonna change the mobo for a b550. The x370 is going to my wife rig with the 1070. Will be a home lab and clan server for games as well.
AM4… thank you AMD… Goat of goatses of all goat time platform. Respect!
Someone in 2017: “I’ll get a b350 motherboard and a cheap Polaris GPU, by the time they’re obsolete I’ll have enough saved to upgrade.”
That same person in 2026: “Okay, time to try to build a $20,000 gaming PC…”
Not far from my path.

Except cheap Polaris was out of stock. Rest checks out. I’m nearly there.
