I'm putting together a PC build and need some guidance on compatibility, especially regarding the motherboard. Here's what I have planned so far:
- **CPU**: R7 9800x3D (Already purchased)
- **CPU Cooler**: Deepcool Assassin 4s
- **GPU**: XFX Swift 9070xt 16GB (Already purchased)
- **RAM**: Kingston Renegade 2x16GB 6400MT DDR5 (I've heard 6000MT is enough, but this one was cheaper)
- **SSD**: Kingston SNV3S 1TB, R6000/W4000 (Planning to add another Kingston KC3000 later)
- **PSU**: Corsair RM750x 750W, Gold (Should I go higher in wattage?)
- **Motherboard**: GIGABYTE B850 Eagle WIFI6E or Gigabyte B850M D3HP (I'm confused about what makes a good motherboard. I'm avoiding ASROCK due to reliability concerns. I don't need more than 2 SSD slots or 3 USB ports and I don't need built-in wifi.)
I also plan to use a **H6Flow/Deepcool CH690 Digital** case. This is a replacement for my old PC with a 12400f and 3060 12GB. I'm not overly concerned about upgradeability, just want something that will last and be high-quality, even if it costs a bit more (except for the CPU and GPU).

Consider upgrading your SSD to a TLC option for better durability. Drives like the Kioxia Exceria Plus G3 or WD Blue SN5000 are excellent choices. They’ll handle wear and tear much better than the NV3. As for motherboards, the MSI PRO B850-P WIFI is a solid pick—it should meet your needs without issues.
You're spot on with your thinking on the SSD; go for something with TLC memory for better performance over the long run. As for motherboards, if you’re putting a lot of thought into longevity, I’d recommend checking out the ASRock Taichi series as a quality option even if you've heard mixed reviews. They usually come highly rated for stability.
