Hey everyone! I'm putting together a build with a 9800X3D CPU, a 5070ti MSI Gaming Trio GPU, and 32GB of Kingston FURY Beast Black RGB RAM at 6000MHz. My case is the ASUS TUF Gaming GT502 Plus TG ARGB Black, and I'm using an MSI MPG A850G PCIE5 power supply. I'm looking for advice on a good motherboard and liquid cooling options. I want something reliable and quality without going for the cheapest or the most expensive. I was considering the ASUS ROG STRIX B850-F Gaming WiFi, but I'm hesitant because it might be a bit pricey. Any recommendations? Thanks!

Honestly, any B850 board should do just fine. For cooling, Thermalright AIOs are budget-friendly and solid performers. I personally think the Arctic LF3 is the best, but it's worth checking the fit for your case since the rad is thicker.
If you're looking at an AIO cooler, I can definitely recommend the Arctic and Thermalright models; they're budget-friendly and perform well. However, don't overlook good air coolers as an option. A solid dual-fan air cooler should manage the 9800X3D just fine.
Gigabyte B850 EAGLE WIFI6E is a good pick for the motherboard. And if you're thinking about cooling, the Corsair Nautilus 360 is what I would recommend.
You can't go wrong with any of the MSI, Gigabyte, or ASUS B850 or B870 boards. A coworker of mine uses the Gigabyte 850s without any issues, and I've got the ASUS TUF 870s at my office—no complaints there! For liquid cooling, the Arctic III 240 or 360 AIOs are fantastic; I have a 7950X3D on the 280 model, and it never tops 78C.
For the motherboard, I'd suggest checking out the MSI B850 Gaming Plus Wifi. It's been working great for me. For cooling, I have my 9800X3D overclocked with a Thermalright Peerless Assassin, and it handles the heat perfectly.
