I'm in the market for a B650 ATX motherboard to pair with my 5070 Ti graphics card and AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D processor. I've been browsing options on Amazon, but the negative reviews have made me feel a bit hesitant. Can anyone suggest a good motherboard for my setup?

Definitely steer clear of the Asus Prime models. Instead, look at the B850 Gaming X or TUF B650. They're much better options and have received more positive feedback.
If you're looking for a specific model, the MSI MAG Tomahawk B650 WiFi is a solid option. Just keep in mind that some users have reported slow boot times, which might be something to look into before buying.
I read a review that said it has a horrible boot time and sometimes hangs in Windows, which seems concerning. Has anyone else had issues like that?
What country are you in and what's your budget? Sometimes you can find B850 boards that offer better features like PCIe 5.0 at a similar price, which could be worth considering.
I'm in the Middle East, but I haven't seen any B850 boards cheaper than B650 here.
But won't a micro-ATX motherboard look kinda funny in a full ATX case?
