My only real comment would be to avoid the X370 platform if you are using Zen 2 CPUs. If cost is your concern, go with a B550 motherboard. You can go with the older motherboards, but you will need to update the associated BIOS to be able to use the later generation CPU. However, those older boards won't let you use all of the features of your modern chip.
