Hey everyone! I'm in the process of building a new PC using the AMD Ryzen 7800X3D CPU. I already have a Sapphire RX 7900 XT Nitro+ GPU and an ROG Strix 850W 80+ Gold PSU. I need help selecting the best motherboard that can support overclocking for my CPU, RAM, and GPU while also ensuring high performance for gaming and content creation (like video editing and 3D modeling). I've checked out several options and listed them below:
1. ASUS TUF GAMING B650-PLUS WIFI
2. GIGABYTE B650 AORUS ELITE AX V2
3. GIGABYTE B650 GAMING X AX V2
4. GIGABYTE B850 GAMING X WIFI6E
5. ASRock B850 RIPTIDE WIFI
6. ASUS TUF GAMING B850-PLUS WIFI
7. Gigabyte B850M DS3H
8. Gigabyte B850M D3HP
9. ASRock B650 STEEL LEGEND WIFI
10. GIGABYTE B850 GAMING WIFI6
11. MSI MAG B650 TOMAHAWK WIFI DDR5
12. GIGABYTE B650E AORUS ELITE X AX ICE DDR5
13. ASUS ROG STRIX B650-A GAMING WIFI
14. MSI X670E Gaming PLUS WIFI
15. MSI B650 Gaming Plus WiFi
16. GIGABYTE B650 EAGLE AX
17. ASUS ROG STRIX B650E-F GAMING WIFI
18. ASRock B850 Livemixer WiFi
I'm looking for a motherboard with strong VRM for stable overclocking, good connectivity (Wi-Fi 6/6E, Bluetooth), BIOS flashback feature, solid audio capabilities, and support for high-speed DDR5 RAM. My budget is around 1100 RON (220 EURO), so I'd like something that offers good value while being capable of gaming and content creation in the long run. Any recommendations from this list or elsewhere would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

I went with the MSI MAG B650 TOMAHAWK WIFI DDR5, and it's been great for my build! I have the 9800X3D and a 9070XT, and it’s performed really well so far. Definitely give it a look!
Just a heads up, the Ryzen 7800X3D can't actually be overclocked and its RAM won't go faster than 6400MT. Also, GPU overclocking doesn't really impact your motherboard choice, so you can go with a more budget-friendly option. If you're mainly looking for value, any B650 motherboard should suffice. I would suggest the B850 chipset if you find it, but it might be misleading since that chipset might not exist for AM5.
Did you run into any issues? Is it really a good board?
