Hey guys, after 7 years its time for an upgrade I have been browsing constantly, but AM5 platform is just confusing to me.
System as of now:

new:9800x3d (already purchased)
new:6000mhz cl30 (brand will be chosen according to mobo compability)
new:2tb 4.0 nme
old: 1tb 3.0 nvme
new:850w gold
old: RTX 3060 12gb (will be replaced in the future)
old: 27" WQHD Screen x2
new: fractal North non xl

Use in priority: gaming, work, movies

atx is fine

overclocking is intended, but my knowledge is limited, so I´ll be staying within default options.

I want full lane support for 2 nvme
future pcie 5.0 gpu also full lane support


Focus is: tweak it once, have it stable, have good thermals, be done with it.
- in addition to this: I hate long boottimes, I had my eyes in the Tuf series B650 & X670e but both had so many mentions of boottimes above 1min

no value: wifi, usb 4, sata, more than 5 usb ports (of any kind), extension slots

nice to have: 5gbe lan

Do you have any suggestions? Tomahawk and Strix e-f seem promising.

preferred vendors: alternate, mindfactory, amazon
(germany)

Thanks in advance and please let me know if I have forgotten any info

Any help is appreciated,

I have a B650I Edge WiFI and it takes sub 1min, 45secs from cold boot to OS GUI. Less if you don't count the app's loading up. Subsequent BIOS updates have made that number below 1min so I don't know where you're coming from with that info.

What form factor do you want to gravitate to? Make and model of your case(in case you're recycling your older case)?

9800x3d was shipped 1,5 months ahead, so I had to make a decision ( was a pre-order for new stock, dated for late december)
if anyone intrested: I went for Asus B650E Rog Strix E-F
