I'm deciding on a motherboard for my build and was looking at the MSI Mag B850 Tomahawk Max WiFi. However, I've also come across options like the GIGABYTE B850 AORUS ELITE WIFI7 and the MSI B850 GAMING PLUS WIFI. What do you all think? Does it really matter which one I choose? Here's my PCPartPicker list with the full setup:
- AMD Ryzen 5 9600X processor
- Thermalright CPU cooler
- G.Skill 32 GB RAM
- 1 TB NVMe SSD
- PowerColor Radeon RX 9060 XT
- And more!
The total cost is around $1414.80 after rebates.

I’d say pick the one that covers your requirements and nothing extra. If you’re okay with a B650 board and it has a no CPU BIOS flashback feature, that could save you some cash.
Honestly, it wouldn't matter much which one you choose. A cheaper board would work just fine for your setup. They're all pretty solid.
Yeah, it doesn't really matter. Go for the cheapest option that meets your needs.
I see a lot of B650 boards available locally. Do you think they would work well?
