I'm trying to decide between the Gigabyte X670E Aorus Pro X and the Gigabyte B650 Aorus Elite AX V2 for my build. I'm planning to use an RTX 5070 Ti graphics card and a 7800X3D processor, and I have Corsair Vengeance RAM with a speed of 6000MHz CL30. Does anyone have insights on which motherboard might be a better fit for my setup?

Why are you deciding between these two boards? Most users would get by just fine with something cheaper like the B650 Eagle or Asrock B650M-HDV/M.2. If you need particular features, you might find that there are better options under $200. Check out this helpful spreadsheet for some alternatives: [link not included].
I own the X670E Aorus Pro X, and unless you require specific ports or features it offers, I would suggest going for the B650 instead.
If the X670E doesn't offer any features you absolutely need, then go with the B650. Its VRM setup is more than sufficient for the 7800X3D, so you won't lose performance there.
For sure, don't overlook cheaper options unless you really need high-end features!
