I know If I buy a new MB I will likely need to buy a fresh windows license.
My laptop has a ryzen 5800h, but I prefer to use my desktop for more functions. 

I think 5700x with a cooler, a pci 3.0 nvme drive will likely be the last upgrades for this 
computer. Im ok with the 1070 for the time being.
