Hello, I have a specific question: Best boards i can chose from are: MSI MAG X670E Tomahawk WIFI MSI PRO X870-P WIFI Which would you recommend, the PRO X870 is even 30€ cheaper for me. Thanks for your help!

[@mars.unreal]

@@dropment5408 ye the tomahawks are great, but i can get the X870 for cheaper, so i wonder if i should do that. Also for a 9800X3D + 4080super.

[@bertnijhof5413]

If I look at the AM5 motherboards, I cry and I remember buying in April 2019 my current ASRock B450 HDV 4.0 for $59.99. During next week I will replace my Ryzen 2 2200G; 16GB (3000MHz) with a Ryzen 5 5600GT; 32GB (3200MHz) and I intend to keep the motherboard at least till 2030. I'm a collector! I have all Windows releases from 1.04 (1987) to 11 Pro (now) in a VM and the same is true for all Ubuntu LTS Releases from 6.06 LTS to 24.04 LTS plus 4.10 (the first); 5.04 (my first) and 24.10 the 20 years remembrance version :) :).

[@yescooliotime]

I picked up the same (16 instead of 32gb) for my living room PC, 5600GT till RX 6600 arrives. It was great value, gets you on the AM4 platform. My main PC has AM5 Motherboard, 7600x for future potential upgrades, but the difference in cost to performance between the two pcs will be like 3 times the cost, twice the performance (if even!). Love a good budget build.

Just built a new system with the 9800x3d. I initially ordered a MSI X670E Tomhawk but then sent it back and got the MSI X870 Tomahawk instead for 30$ more. Several reasons why x870 VS x670e :1) the x870 is newer, possibly longer term support ; 2) more usb ports total; 3) pci quick release for GPU - this alone is worth 30usd if you've ever been really frustrated to get the old gpu out of there; 4) usb 4 ; 5) wifi 7; 6) newer audio I would say to people looking at getting a new motherboard sure maybe there is no one key feature in x870 that alone justifies it over a x670 or similar but as a whole it could make all the difference.

Got a 9700X and an ASUS ROG STRIX B650E-I. Paired with a XFX Merc 7900XTX, this system absolutely blows away my older 5800x3D+ 3090 setup. I might upgrade to 9800x3D but I haven't seen a decent ITX board to go with it, except for that insanely overpriced ASUS X870 board. One thing that bugs me to no end is that the GPU is outrageously huge (343 mm length) so I had to go back to my older NR200 case as it wouldn't fit my NZXT H1 v2 or pretty much any other mini ITX board out there. I'm seriously thinking of selling the 7900XTX for a smaller card.

This is what I was waiting for, but still not completely sure what to go for when upgrading to a 9800x3D (I have a 4090). For context, I almost exclusively play DCS (flight simulator). I have a USB hub which is populated with 13 USBs, but USBs for my USB screens (scripted to show the Multi Function Displays of the F-15, F-16, F-18 and AH-64 Apache) have to go directly into my MOBO. That also goes for the mouse and keyboard, and soon my force feedback stick. My Asus rog strix B550-F gaming mobo is absolutely packed, and I have to change out connections from my simpit hardware to xbox controller when playing other stuff. The game takes up about 1,2TB space, and I allready have two full m.2s in audition to one 4TB m.2 for which the game is stored. What MOBOs do you think are relevant to consider here?

Which motherboard would you recommend for a build with the upcoming RTX 5090 and 9950X3D?

[@brianpatrickbarnes]

You need to differentiate the M.2 to the CPU vs through the (overloaded) chipset. Direct to the CPU gives 4 dedicated PCIe lanes per drive. Via the chipset makes umpteen devices share 4 lanes.

[@Eonymia]

I decided to be a little dumb and grab a X670E board instead of a more reasonable chipset. I got the Asrock X670E Pro RS because it had more than 4 SATA ports (I have 5 SATA drives still) and it also happened to be literally the cheapest X670E board available. It cost me 240€ at the time which was about the same price as an expensive B650 board and I figured since basically every X670 motherboard has good VRMs unlike some other generations and the cheaper B650 boards can vary, I figured it'd be a decent option that's still expensive, but not horribly expensive and gives me everything I need. I am gambling a little bit on the PCIE5 slot being useful in the future, but I figured this would set me up for the next 6 years at least in terms of support for anything. Time will tell, it's always a bit of a gamble. I don't use the onboard audio, so I don't mind too much that it doesn't have a great codec and the wifi chip is easily accessible for any future upgrades or if something goes wrong with it.

[@Eonymia]

For perspective, every other X670E besides the PG lightning (270€) and MSI gaming (230€) boards were over 300 or 400 euros.

[@PiroteusGaming]

Carfull on the ASRRock B550M and the B550 Phantom! If you use a tower cooler your GPU has a high chance of touching yourCPU cooler since they had the brilliant idea of placing the PCIe on the 1th Slot. Personaly ran into this problem when I upgraded a year ago from a GB X370 to an ASRock Elite X570 that had the same configuration ans spacing. the GPU was pressing against my Noctua DH15 which is very very bad indead. That is why they ASRock has very good value on the spec side but did a little wopsy on the design side. Thermaltake Assasin and Phantom coolers also run into this problem and they are budged compared to the DH15.

you make it look so easy explaining all this! just what i needed cuz i was getting lost in all the A-B-BxxxE-X- series !

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Its super confusing! So glad we could help!

[@davidtraverso6408]

Super informative, well done!

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching

[@Safferz]

I swiped a Gigabyte B650 Eagle Ax and few weeks ago and finally received my last component of my computer the other day. Sadly the mobo ended up being faulty (tried every possible fix until I took it to a computer shop and they said the same) and I’m hesitant to try another Gigabyte board but want to believe it was just bad luck. 😅

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Frustrating! Can happen with any brand of course

[@Safferz]

@ very true. Also wanted to say thank you for the wonderful video! It was very helpful and I feel more confident in selecting a new board after watching this. :)

[@martinvargas1346]

video was to late. i need to make a return lol. got a asus tuf x870 gaming on sale for $309 w/ 32 gb ram from new egg. waiting for 9800x3d to come back so i got time

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Opps! Sorry for the timing (;

[@martinvargas1346]

It’s good thanks for the videos

[@martinvargas1346]

With the price of mothers boards i may consider keeping it. Very educational video

[@FatBunny168]

most people still use sata ssds because it is still cheaper :v Sata ports still matter for gaming

[@PCBuilderChannel]

In 2024 NVME SSDs are generally the same price or cheaper! So I recommend that for folks. See our Best SSD for Gaming 2024 video for more

hey pc builder i have a question on which cpu should i buy for 7700xt gpu please give me an answer thank you a lot

[@Spazzfrom.1989]

also dont blow money on pcie 5 components..not unless youre doing serious work for it..just pick up an wd sn850x at 250 for 4tb..pcie 4..but lets be honest..who needs pcie 5 other than workers

[@mahirahmansphotography8117]

@ i do heavy photos and video editing. currently have a normal build with ryzen 2700x and 1650 lol and its killing me

[@Spazzfrom.1989]

@@mahirahmansphotography8117 dang sounds like a good upgrade..im coming from a lap top 9th gen intel and 2070..its starting to die out..and since black friday is here..5.5 years is good..glad to get away from laptop though..i want to choose my keyboard and monitor

[@ZERODIS0]

i got the eagle b650e , i wanna build a pc for around 1000-1300 bucks and it was on sale, i think it will do fine for gaming. currently i am rocking a asus prime x570 -p and the am4 chip set, so a upgrade is defiantly needed.

[@kelley09162]

Do you need help picking out the rest of the parts or are you all set? Also if you do need help are you saving anything from your current build?

[@ZERODIS0]

@ I know what I want and getting, but thank you for your offer.

[@stonefarmer3005]

Dude, I just got the MSI Tomahawk for $99 to use as my 2nd computer.

[@ThomasPaine01]

Essential video for a modern build! 💯

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Thank you Thomas!! Hope you are having a great weekend!

[@Ryaroji]

I'm now starting to build a PC and have bought an AMD Ryzen 5 7600x and I am planning an AMD Radeon RX 7800xt as a GPU. Would you recommend something else? and which motherboard? Price is in the higher mid range

[@PCBuilderChannel]

That's a good combo and any of our picks for 7600X here would do great. Check out our latest video on the channel its our Best Builds November video for a great full template 7600X build guide

[@boki829]

beware ryzen 7600x gets really hot

[@francescodogna6467]

Hi all, I am thinking about buying Asrock B650 Steel Legend Wifi or Asrock B650E Steel Legend Wifi (right now they are at same price somehow). Which category this Motherboard fit (mid or premium)? And do you think one of them is objectively better than the other? Thank You in advance

[@francescodogna6467]

I forgot to add that the goal is to keep room for possible future upgrades in terms of CPU (right now it will be Ryzen 7 7500F) and GPU (probably a 4070S). Other options for Motherboard are really welcome. Thanks

[@jackie2-g8l]

I've watched Hardware Unboxed's review of the Steel Legend WiFi and the Aorus Elite AX V2, and they both perform as well as, or even better than, the premium B650 boards. However, the Steel Legend has very limited stock, so if it's available in your area, don't hesitate to grab it. Don't buy the B650E Steel Legend the B650 somehow is better which is really strange.

[@ins1ght10]

Hey! How about the ASRock B650 Steel Legend Wifi ?? And is it good for the R7 9800X3D?

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Good board but its been completely out of stock! If you can find it at a good price that's fine. The MSI Tomahawk would be my pick over it

[@JoeMama-yl1ow]

Better to get the asus tuff gaming 670e plus wifi for 200 on bestbuy

[@ins1ght10]

@@PCBuilderChannel thanks for the advice!

[@avogel7937]

@@PCBuilderChannel Why the tomohawk over the Steel Legend? Seen many advice Steel Legend over the Tomohawk? The Steel Legend is in stock where i live and excatly the same price as the Tomohawk

[@PCBuilderChannel]

The Tomahawk has better rear panel connectivity and audio

[@dritzzhaynes7217]

Great video Jason ❤

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Thank you! And thanks for watching!

[@JojiShawn]

do you know what is going on with highly rated asrock motherboards like the tachi lite and steel legend? Are they discontinued or just out of stock?

[@PCBuilderChannel]

They are just good boards and I think Asrock underestimated their popularity.

[@Mike-ce1my]

Great video with a lot of well explained info! Any thoughts about the MSI MAG X670E Tomahawk WiFi? Currently it's at it's cheapest at $230.

[@allegiancesquare7000]

So was the best for gaming but video editing as well?

[@elnavales]

I have a 670E with a 5950x 3d in it. Is it worth upgrading to the 9950x? I game, but I also work from home.

[@PCBuilderChannel]

You would need to do a full platform change from AM4 to AM5. See our "how to upgrade your pc 2024" video for more on that. It also very much depends on what GPU you have

[@aaryanshrestha8637]

For the midrange b650 what’s better the asus or msi?

[@kelley09162]

I'd say MSI

[@King_of_N00BS]

ASUS sucks in making mobos 😂😂😂

[@R6ex]

Waiting for X850E Aorus Master!

[@ascensive8937]

Thank god for this video I was gonna buy a motherboard based on your last video but a more recent one will help me make a better decision.
