I'm trying to decide between two motherboards for my 9800X3D build. The options are the GIGABYTE B850M GAMING X WIFI6E and the ASUS PRIME B850M-A WIFI. Both have an AMD B850 chipset, support the AM5 socket, and are Micro-ATX with DDR5 RAM. Which one would you recommend?

I’d recommend going with the GIGABYTE Gaming X! It seems to have better features overall, but I do lean towards ATX boards for more expansion space. If size isn’t an issue for you, definitely check it out!
If they’re close in price, just pick the cheaper one! But if they’re the same price, I’d go with the Gigabyte. It looks really good too!
There's only a $5 difference, but I’m with you on leaning towards the Gigabyte for its looks!
Have you thought about the ASRock Pro RS? It might be a good alternative.
Not really considering ASRock, though. I’d rather stick with Gigabyte or ASUS.
I’m actually building a small form factor PC, so ATX is out for me. These Micro-ATX cases are already pretty big!
