I'm moving from an AM4 to an AM5 platform and considering the Ryzen 7 9800X3D for my build. I'm looking for recommendations on a motherboard that's budget-friendly but still future-proof. I also need advice on RAM; I'm thinking about the Crucial PRO DDR5-6000, but I know RAM can be quite expensive. My current GPU is a 3060 Ti, which I'll be reusing for now, with plans to upgrade it within a year. I already have an RM850x PSU that I'll also carry over into the new setup. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

You might want to check out the B850 Aorus Elite or the B850 Tomahawk Max. For the RAM, just grab the cheapest DDR5-6000 kit you can find; you don’t need to overthink it too much!

Thanks for the tips! But $200 for a motherboard feels a bit steep for my budget.
