If there is one processor that can frustrate the 10 gen i9-10900K and i7-10700K a bit, it's the Ryzen 9 3900X. Now it's not confirmed just yet, but the 3900X has been selling for well below 430 USD in the USA. Here in the EU the prices for that processor have been lower as well, quite a while already.

If you read our reviews, the 3900X is battling the new 488 USD (msrp) Core i9-10900K quite well, the proc is currently listed at 529 USD in most stores. The 3900X processor is fast and agile, at 499 USD (msrp) the 10900K is fighting off that close to similar priced Ryzen 9 3900X, which offers two more cores at 12-cores.

In the EU the prices however already gradually been dropping towards a level of 429 USD. New rumors indicate prices are set at 409 USD in the USA already as well. Some stores like Microcenter already offer the 3900X at a staggering 389 USD, these are models that include a WRAITH cooler. You do need to pick it up though. The rest is

We'll see how long Intel's pricing will hold up, as it seems the CPU market is getting cutthroat. Below the price development in the EU for that 12-core Ryzen 3900X:

Honestly, this is the best it's ever been for buying CPUs in the 15 years I've been building. At any price point, you can get a really good CPU for the money.

No, it won't.
AMD barely nudged to support 400 series with Zen3, and that with lots of conditions.
300 will be totally unsupported, even the highest end X370 boards.

It will be time to upgrade, really.
(I have one too, and will swap out CPU+Mobo after Zen 3 comes out, and also buy some PCI-e 4.0 SSD at that time, but until then I'll be sticking with X370, like you)
The good part is that I will keep my overclocker-friendly memory ( Micron E-die, so who knows what 4000+ MT/s will Zen3 IMC support ? That will be nice ! )

I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss, the 300 series and 400 series chipsets are nearly identical, It may be "unofficially" supported like what you see with a320 boards.
