Hey everyone! I'm building my first PC and can't decide between the Gigabyte DH3P B650-M and the B850-M version of the same model. There's a €40 difference between them, and I'm looking to get the most performance for my budget. Is the B850 worth the extra cost? What are the main differences between the two? Also, if you have better recommendations for motherboards around my budget of €1200, I would love to hear them! Just so you know, my CPU will be a Ryzen 9600x. Thanks for your help!

The main difference between these two motherboards is PCIe 5 support, which is a big deal if you're planning on getting a Gen 5 GPU. If you're not using any of the Gen 5 features, the B650 should perform just fine for most gaming and productivity tasks, so it might not be worth the extra cash.
So for a graphics card upgrade in the future, would it be worth it to go with the B850?
