I currently have an i7-8700k overclocked to 5ghz, a Gigabyte Z370 AORUS Ultra Gaming motherboard and an RTX3080.

I use my PC solely for 4K and VR gaming.

I'm looking to upgrade my CPU and as such I'll also need to upgrade my motherboard. I've posted a few questions on Reddit and landed on a Ryzen 7800X3D as the best CPU option. I now need to decide on the best motherboard to pair with it.

So far, I've whittled it down to a MSI MAG B650 Tomahawk WiFi (it appeared at the top of 2 'best of' lists for this CPU) and someone else recommended an AsRock X670E Taichi.

My questions are:

If money was no issue, what would be the best Mobo to pair with it?

Given what I want to use it for, is a Ryzen 7800X3D even the best option?

I'm guessing I'll also need to get new DDR5 RAM aswell but I probably don't need to stress as much as I am about the CPU and Mobo as long as I get a decent RAM as it won't impact performance too much.

Thanks in advance, really appreciate any help.
