Hey everyone! I'm about to start building a new PC and I'm a bit stuck on which B850M motherboard to pick. I plan to use a Ryzen 5 9600X processor, an ASUS Prime RX 9060XT graphics card, a standard 16GB DDR5 RAM, and a Be Quiet Pure Rock CPU cooler. My case is a Lian Li A3 mATX. Any recommendations? Also, just so you know, my English isn't the best, and I'm located in Germany.

It’s hard to suggest a board without knowing regional pricing. However, I think the MSI Pro B850M-A is a solid option if it's available at a good price.
If you find the B850M for the same price as the alternatives, it could be worth it, but I doubt they’re priced the same right now.
Honestly, you might want to skip the B850M and consider the MSI B650 Gaming Plus instead. It's usually cheaper and you won't see any significant performance difference. Just a heads up, you might need to do a BIOS update, but that should be pretty rare at this point.
I have the same motherboard but the B850 version, and I got it for a similar price. It works great!
Thanks for the suggestion! By the way, I live in Germany, that might help.
