It would be a computer I would use for personal use, business use and gaming, so compatibility is extremely important. I'll probably avoid AMD cards for now since I have had so many problems with their drivers in the past. That is my only real requirement. I just haven't had time to do research recently so I'm not sure what some solid Mobos, cases, PSUs, etc. are right now.
I'm debating going a super budget build or to go a little more modern. I guess I'll have to wait and see what sort of black friday/cyber monday deals pop up. The b450 seems like a great option for at least a gen 2, would be nice using it with the gen 3.
I'm steering clear of AMD GPUs because they are a pain to work with for development as a graphics programmer.

As far as CPU's go, I'm using a b450 with a Ryzen 3600 and its working fine. If you do decide to go that route there are some things you might need to know because older stock you will need to flash the bios before it will run the newer ryzens. If you aren't going high end gaming the 2600 is fine and potentially less headache.

If you have access to a second gen CPU to flash the mobo with. You could get a b450 board and a 3rd gen ryzen combo. However the 2nd gen cpu's have become increasingly affordable. You can pick up a good 2600x and a mobo for $200 or so.
As far the GPU, the only issue I've had on the software side with mu RX580 is that there were no updates available for the windows 8 OS. Otherwise I haven't had any issues on that side of things. AMD is about to release a new line of budget cards in the 5500 series that may be worthwhile taking a look at. Otherwise I'm not too well versed with Nvidia cards.
