I'm thinking about buying a 7800X3D CPU and the Gigabyte B650 Aorus Elite AX V2 motherboard, but I'm unsure if this is a good combo. Is the motherboard too basic for such a high-end processor, or will it work well together?

No, it will be great! Just double-check that the motherboard has all the connections and features you need. The 7800X3D has low power usage, so almost any motherboard will handle it just fine.
There's nothing weird about using a compatible motherboard with a CPU. It will work well together!
As long as you don't need PCIe 5.0, you'll be fine with the B650. If you plan to use a next-gen GPU that requires PCIe 5.0 down the line, consider investing in a more expensive board. But if the B650 has what you need, go for it!
I actually have this exact combo, and it works wonderfully!
It's totally fine! The B650 motherboard isn't 'bad'—it just doesn't come with all the fancy features that more expensive boards have. Your CPU will work perfectly on it without any issues.
