I'm putting together a gaming PC with an AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D (5.2 GHz, 8-Core Processor) and I've narrowed down my motherboard options to a few compatible AM5 boards listed on PC Part Picker. I'm looking for recommendations on which one would provide the best performance for gaming. I found a Gigabyte option that's all white, but I don't want aesthetics to be my only deciding factor. Any thoughts? Also, do higher GB options really make a difference?

You might want to check out the B850 Aorus Elite Wi-Fi 7 ICE. It's been getting good reviews, and offers great features for gaming. Plus, it doesn't have the performance issues that some of the other boards have, like the X870 AORUS Elite – that one can cut down on PCIe lanes if you use certain M.2 slots.
I hadn't looked at the B850 yet! What are the main differences compared to the X870?
