Hi, im looking to build a new pc with a AMD Ryzensets 5 7600 Processor and a Sapphire Pure AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT with CORSAIR vengeance 32GB 6000hz and i was wondering what would be the best motherboard to get with a M2drive and i will be using display which is 1080p at 165hz which i will upgrade later on? thanks.
 
You can pair the processor with any B650 or B850 chipset motherboard available to you. Where are you located? What is your budget for a motherboard purchase? What is your preferred sit for purchase?

I'm in the UK and and budget wise I would say between £150 & £300 and I don't really have a preferred brand etc just looking for best recommendations, thanks

i would not want to be stuck with B840 motherboard with AM5 build to be honest
it´s as much expensive as some B650 motherboards or B850 even
it is basically "facelifted" old B550 chipset and it doesn´t even support cpu overclocking
also you are stuck with pcie 4.0 for both the gpu and primary m.2 slot (not such a big deal but still)
if these boards would sell for $90 they may have been viable budget options
but for $140 not so much .
