I finally decided to buy myself new CPU but the problem is i dont know yet which motherboard should i get because i have never changed motherboard before so thats why i ask if everything is going to be compatible with each other. And which one of the motherboards i have listed here would suit my specs and needs the best. P.S. i am a gamer. Thank you in advance for your ansewers.

CPU (old one) = AMD Phenom(tm) II X6 1055T Processor (6 CPUs), ~2.8GHz
CPU (new one) = AMD RYZEN 7 1700 (will come with its own cooler in box with CPU)
GPU = AMD Radeon R9 380 Series
PSU = Fortron FSP650-80EGN
Motherboard(old one) = m4a88td-v evo/usb3
TV Card = Smit CA-Modul IRDETO
SSD (planning to buy) = Samsung 850 EVO 500GB

Choice of motherboards (and tell me why is it the best option compared to other two):
1) ASUS ROG STRIX B350-F GAMING
2) MSI B350 PC MATE
3) MSI B350 TOMAHAWK

So any of the motherboards i have listed are good ones and it doesnt matter which one i choose, and they will work with my setup? I mainly want to use this setup for gaming. But i have never before replaced my motherboard or cpu so thats why i ask
 


All those boards will be fine. Go for the Asus Strix or MSI Tomahawk > PC mate.
But you need to find a better quality PSU. You don't wanna put your fine new system at risk because you go cheap on the PSU.
