I'm planning to build a new PC next week with a 9800x3d processor, and I'm uncertain about which motherboard to select. I'm currently looking at a few options:
- Gigabyte B850 Gaming X WiFi 6E
- Gigabyte B850 Aorus Elite WiFi 6E Ice
- Asus TUF Gaming B850-E
- MSI 850M Mortar WiFi
- Asus ROG Strix B650E-F
Can anyone share their thoughts on which one would be the best choice? I'm also open to other alternatives in a similar price range. Additionally, I'd like to know about the VRM and cooling capabilities on these boards.

Just a side note, I hope you have your RAM sorted already! Good luck with the build!
Honestly, just go for whatever is the cheapest! Most of these motherboards will handle that CPU just fine, unless you need some specific high-end features.
I just got 24GB of Kingston 7200 MHz RAM, so I'm good for now!
