Question Looking for next AM5 motherboard to last next 5-7 years

[Joe0504]

So it's been 7 years since I've upgrade my PC, only thing I've upgrade over the years was my 1080TI to an RTX 3060TI
I'm not a heavy gamer so I'm not to worried about this current GPU
Here's what I am keeping
Corsair 750D case
GTX 3060Ti
DVD-RW

I'm not sure if I'm keeping any of these storage devices
Samsung 960 EVO M.2 250Gb
Samsung 850 EVO 2.5" 500Gb
Seagate Firecuda Gaming SSHD 1Tb

What I have already for new PC
Samsung 990 Pro M2

What I plan to get
Ryzen 7900
CORSAIR Dominator Titanium RGB DDR5 RAM 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5 6000MHz
TEAMGROUP T-Force Z540 1TB DRAM SLC Cache 3D TLC NAND NVMe Phison E26 PCIe Gen5x4 M.2 2280 Gaming SSD with Ultra-Thin Graphene Heat Spreader Read/Write 11700/9500 MB/s
Thermaltake Toughpower GF A3 850W

I plan to use the Teamgroup 1Tb pcie Gen 5 as my primary M2 and the Samsung as my secondary since it's Gen4

I don't want to spend a lot on a motherboard but I also would like something that will last for next 5-7 years

I'm looking at both B650E and X670E motherboards for the PCIe 5 M2 slot and GPU slot in case I ever upgrade the GPU 3-4 years later
Any good recommendations on B650E or X670E motherboards
I was hoping to be around $200-$250 for the MB

MSI MAG X670E TOMAHAWK WIFI ATX is arguably the best choice. There's not going to be much under $200 unless you get some discount.
Alternatively, look at the Asus ROG STRIX B650E-F GAMING WIFI

You've got everything pretty well laid out. It's just down to getting a decent motherboard. Don't be shy of spending maybe up to $270-300. I've heard people praise the AsRock Taichi. You're near that territory anyway and a good motherboard could last you long enough to be worth the extra money.

My previous MB is an MSI B350 Tomahawk. I had the Ryzen 1700x. It died last month.
I do have an Intel 13th Gen laptop I'm currently using which has 64Gb ram and 2TB NVME in it so I'm making do with it for now.
So I'm not in a rush to purchase and been doing my homework slowly.
I'm wondering if I wait for Ryan 9000 Series to be released. but that could be end of this year for all we know

Did the Tomahawk die or the CPU?

If you're not in a rush, then you can afford to study your options very carefully. And take advantage of sales! Sometimes the choice between a few very similar competitors can be made by the store slashing the price. Very nice when you randomly bump into one of those.

You could certainly wait for the next offering from AMD, or even intel.

Slightly off topic, since you didn't ask, but i'll throw the beQuiet! Pure Power 12 M 850W PSU out there for your consideration. It's near the same level of performance and efficiency as your original Thermaltake choice. Better in some ways and worse in others.
