So I was about to buy a new ryzen 1700x pc then I started reading up about the updated ryzen due in Feb or march with new x470 boards.
It's the new boards that have got me thinking I should wait .
Thoughts anyone ?

if you think that way.there will be some new chipset every quarter or half so you cant wait forever to get the best

so i would say
always go guns blazing(1950x) on a generation so that it can compete the next few generations

my experience
i had bought my laptop which had the best processor of that generation(2014) and it still works quite well for me till now
i am now thinking of upgrading to ryzen laptop as soon as prize of ram comes down

Current motherboards will be supported until 2019 if I remember right, if that's what you are worried about. So you will be able to use Ryzen+ and Rzyen 2 on current motherboards. New boards will probably add new I/O features, maybe wifi, USB 3.2 and stuff like that. Memory controller is in the CPU so the chipset won't change anything about RAM. If you really need a new PC, then there is no reason to wait, but if you current PC could do the job until February/March then wait. Keep in mind tho, prices for those new CPUs and Motherboards will most probably be higher.

For me from Q6600 to 1700 was a GIANT leap and I didn't even get to overclock it, I don't feel the need right now. I really love this CPU + platform. With 16GB @ 2999Mhz (hope I'll get to use 3200Mhz soon), it doesn't even bother with almost any kind of app you throw at it. With other words, get ready to be impressed.
