A normal B550 motherboard can overclock the processor. I'm not saying that it is a bad motherboard. Just to make people aware. Realistically, most people will be fine with it... Your cpu will act normal, with turbo, etc... You just can't overclock it.
Scroll to the bottom and check the chipset info for overclocking.

It has 6 fans, moves a ton of air, but won't sync with your RGB and has other limitations making it a solid performance/price combo for cheap builds.
The long answer is a bit more complicated. The 5700X can do all your current work in roughly half the time while also using about 30% less power in the process. The 5700X IPC is roughly double what the 1700X. Doubling your ram is never a bad thing in my eyes. So it just depends on how much you value reduced power consumption and wait time for tasks to complete. You could also have TWO machines. Keep your 1700X system and then run the 5700X system as your new main system?
Is the better option to Buy the CPU+RAM combo here and get another normal size MB later?

That said, if you're buying a 5700x, you're not exactly going cutting edge here so I doubt expansion is that big of a deal to you that it matter. This is a good deal and I wouldn't bother waiting for another board, especially as these are being clearances out at this point. There may be no board available later to even get a sale, and you might have eto go second hand.
For instance, I want mini-ITX board (as I have a small form factor case), but there's barely any in-stock option on those, and prices are spiking.
In other words, in this price range, don't worry too much about too much upgrade options. By the time you upgrade again, you're likely onto a new technology that makes this obsolete.

Is it worth upgrading the CPU and motherboard? or just the CPU?
Is it even possible to upgrade the CPU on my B350 board?
