I'm currently building a PC and I have the B650 Aorus Elite motherboard, which I got for about 2000 NOK (~180 USD). However, I just noticed that the B850 Gaming motherboard is on sale for the same price. Should I return the B650 for the B850? I've heard that the Aorus Elite line is better than the Gaming line. Additionally, I already have 32 GB of RAM with a speed of 6000 MHz and a CAS latency of 36 (got it at a discount through work). I'm also trying to decide between the Ryzen 7 7700, Ryzen 9 7900, or possibly the Ryzen 5 9600 for my CPU. Any advice?

What's your GPU? That might influence your decision on which board to keep.
If the B850 is the same price and isn't from AsRock, I'd say go for the B850. You’ll likely have a better overall experience with it.
It's a Gigabyte, so I think you're good! Go for it!
I'm planning to go with either the RX 9060 XT 16 GB or the 5060 Ti.
