I'm super new to building PCs and I'm excited because I'm finally getting my first one! I've decided on an RTX 5070 Ti, 32GB of DDR5 RAM, and a Ryzen 7 7800X3D as my main components. I could really use some help choosing a motherboard and a power supply within a budget of $350. Any recommendations would be hugely appreciated! Thanks!

For your budget, I’d suggest looking at something like the ASUS TUF Gaming B650-PLUS for the motherboard; it has solid performance and good features for the price. For the power supply, the Corsair RM650 80 Plus Gold is a great choice, providing good efficiency without breaking the bank. Just make sure to check prices in your local area as they can vary significantly!
Honestly, since you're focusing on budget, I'd recommend keeping an eye out for sales or second-hand parts as well. Sometimes you can score excellent deals on a decent B550 motherboard and a reliable PSU that way!
Those are solid picks! You might want to double-check compatibility with the Ryzen 7, but I think they should work well together.
