I think I will get the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D on November 7th, so which motherboard do you recommend for this CPU?
A quality B650 motherboard can fully support both 7800X3D and likely the future 9800X3D, as AM5 specs remain similar. Choose based on your needed features, and consider PCIe 5.0 support - though it's unlikely to matter during the PC's lifespan.

ASUS ROG Strix X870E-E provides excellent value for AM5 motherboards, balancing premium features with reasonable pricing compared to flagship models. It offers native compatibility with Ryzen 9000 series processors, while older AM5 boards (B650, X670) require BIOS updates. For a hassle-free setup with the latest Ryzen CPUs, X870/X870E boards are your best plug-and-play options.
Get any B650 motherboards, or waiting for B850 motherboards coming early next year.
Don't spend too much on Mobo and RAM. Save money on GPU.
B650 motherboards offer excellent value with solid models featuring modern connectivity and essential features. They provide identical CPU performance compared to higher-tier boards, making them a practical choice for most users.
If you have enough money, get X870E motherboards like X870E Hero. If not, just get any B650 motherboards.
