AMD Ryzen 7000 CPUs are out now with support for PCIe Gen5 for the graphics card and storage. In order to upgrade to these new Ryzen CPUs, you are going to need a new motherboard. Here are some of the best X670E motherboards you can get for the AMD Ryzen 7000 series CPUs.
The main difference between X670E and X670 motherboards is that X670E comes with PCIe Gen5 support for both graphics cards and storage. X670 supports either Gen5 storage or graphics cards, not both. If you want PCIe Gen5 support across the board, you need an X670E motherboard.
