From the reading I have done, I understand the b650 is the way to go due to price vs performance compared to an X870. One concern that I have is the PCI4 vs 5 debacle. Some say that PCI 4 is far from being obsolete and some say is better to go PCI 5 to future proof your build. What is your opinion?
I need to have plenty of USB ports. I need a solid amount to connect all the things I use. Most of them are USB 2 with a couple of USB 3, most are USBC (3-4) and a couple of thunderbolt, which makes the X870 a better choice
I am going the pair this mobo with a 7800X3D. The GPU is still to be decided as I am waiting for the new lineup to hit, but if they are way above what I am willing to spend I will settle for this 4070 Super.
MSI RTX 4070 Super
Lastly, this rig will be used for heavy gaming and content creation.
I saw the latest tom's hardware review of motherboards and the ASRock X870E Taichi is the top recommendation at $699 with the Gigabite B650E Aorus Master taking the top of the B650 at $210 *HUGE DIFFERENCE*. Is it worth it based on the above?
