I'm building a gaming PC specifically for CS2 and have already purchased an RTX 3070 Ti FE GPU and a Ryzen 5 7600X CPU. I'm now looking for a motherboard that's ideally DDR5 compatible. My remaining budget is around 600€. Any recommendations?

Since you're using a 7600X, DDR5 is your only option. Here’s a solid pick: ASRock B650M-HDV/M.2 Micro ATX. It's around $110 and has good reviews. Make sure it has the necessary I/O for your needs without breaking the bank.
With the Ryzen 7600X, you'll definitely want to stick with a DDR5 motherboard. Any B650 or B850 should work well for you. Just avoid the super cheap options, and steer clear of Asrock if you think you might upgrade to a 7800X3D or 9800X3D later on.
Thanks for the advice!
Heads up, B650 boards are rumored to be getting discontinued, so you might want to grab one while you can!
What do you suggest instead?
I’ve had great success with the Tomahawk B650 WiFi. It performed exceptionally well for me, so it's worth considering!
Alrighty, sounds good!
Thanks! I'm looking for a bigger motherboard with 4 RAM slots.
