I'm piecing together my PC build and I'm looking for some recommendations on which motherboard to choose from my options. Here are the motherboards I'm considering: 1) Gigabyte B650E AORUS ELITE X AX ICE, 2) ASRock X870 Steel Legend WiFi, and 3) ASRock X870 Pro RS WiFi. For context, here's the rest of my build: I'm using an AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU, Corsair Vengeance RGB 32GB DDR5-6000 RAM, a Sapphire NITRO+ Radeon RX 9070 XT GPU, a be quiet! Pure Power 12 M 850W PSU, a WD BLACK SN850X for storage, and the Corsair 4000D Airflow White case. Any advice would be appreciated!

If you're going by price, I'd say go for the cheapest option. It might save you some cash that you could allocate elsewhere in your build. Just make sure it has the features you need!
I've seen quite a few complaints on the ASRock subreddit regarding 9000 series CPUs failing, which has got a lot of folks concerned. It's probably worth checking that out before you decide. Could just be an overhyped issue, but I'd be cautious.
Thanks for the heads up! Would you suggest going with the Gigabyte one instead?
Fair point haha, saving money is definitely important!
