Slow and inefficient for today's standard. Cannot handle web browsing( many tabs) , streaming , content creation. tools ( mainly cz of ram, still slow )

I am following latest news in and out, but I need to find and research on what Motherboard chipset, Ram i will be going with
I have set my mind on Ryzen 2700x, Primary use would be content creating, web , Gaming
Ryzen 2700x with mid range
Advise to what motherboard are out there overall pleasant experience (Asrock, Asus, Gigabyte, MSI )
Good compatible Ram, Earlier some time ago, there were problem with some ram that claimed to have certain MHZ, however it did not perform the expected.
One thing to say, Gigabyte, which I have been solid from the time build

Motherboard: ASUS Prime X470-Pro ($159 @ Amazon)
Memory: G.SKILL 16GB (2 x 8GB) TridentZ RGB Series ($169.99 @ Amazon)

cide whether to go with x470 or B450, deciding whether which one is best for value and long term



Please, give me some insight or advise whether this initial pre configuration is following the right path; better competent( lower price point) Thank you.
 
Seems solid to me. Just a couple minor things:

Unless you're considering a massive GPU upgrade (e.g., GTX-2080ti), that PSU is over-specced. A 500 W unit would be more than enough, and save a few bucks. Seasonic gold-rated is a safe choice.

No reason not to get the m.2 version of the 860 Evo.

Thanks, I know It seems to be unnecessary, but I am thinking ahead what if I do want to change video card. In terms of the m.2 version 860 evo, didn't even realize it. Good call
I am bit back and forth about the whole motherboard, each has their drawback, but I have to get past that, However, I do need help with this particular area. There seems to be many factor such as VRM, B450 or x-470.
A lot good info from different perspective, hardocp, anandtech, hardware nexus and people's opinion. I happen to be lost. I do not want to buy a motherboard that I regret later.
