I'm looking to upgrade my PC from a Ryzen 5 to a Ryzen 7 7700. However, I'm not sure if my current motherboard, the Asus Tuf B450m PLUS II, is compatible with this CPU. I also plan to use my upgraded setup for gaming and some creative work like Blender and video editing for TikTok. What motherboard would you recommend for this upgrade?

You’ll need a new motherboard because the Ryzen 7 7700 uses the AM5 socket while your current board is AM4. A B650 motherboard will work perfectly for your needs! It's great for gaming and has enough features to support your creative projects too.
Thanks for the advice! I was looking at the ASUS PRIME B650M-A II AM5 DDR5. Would that work well with my GTX 1660 Super? I heard it should be fine but just wanted to double-check.
