Check out the MSI PRO B650M-A motherboard; it's a solid choice. You could also get the 7800X3D for around $335, which saves you about $40. That might help stretch your budget a bit!
I put together a different build that could work well for you. Here's the breakdown: CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 9600X for $188.94, paired with a Thermalright cooler for $18.89. The motherboard is the MSI PRO B650M-A at $119.99. For memory, I'd go with 48GB DDR5 from Patriot, which is $259.99. Storage? A Crucial 2TB SSD for $139.99. The video card I suggest is the ASRock Challenger RX 9070 XT for $599.99, and you'll need a good case and power supply too. Overall, the total comes to about $1483.67. This should give you great performance at 1440p!
Thanks for the detailed breakdown!
Thank you for the suggestion!
