I'm considering purchasing the ASUS Prime B850M-K motherboard for about $191 (including tax) from Amazon. It's one of the most affordable B850 motherboards I've found, and the price is similar to B650 boards in my area. The motherboard was launched only two months ago, and I couldn't find any reviews on it yet. It features an 8+2+1 (60A) VRM and PCIe 5 support for both M.2 and GPU. Also, I'm curious about how it looks with its gray and white heatsinks. Would it match well with my Lian Li 011 Vision Compact in black?

Just a heads up, motherboards that end with K typically don't have the best power delivery if you're planning to really push your CPU. What CPU are you pairing it with?
I got an R5 8400F for $60. I'm mainly playing CS2 at 2K and aiming for over 200 FPS. I plan to upgrade to an X3D CPU when GTA 6 comes out. With an 8+2+1 (60A) VRM and PCIe 5 support, why do you think it's not great?
