[helloitsme23]

hello ! im gonna upgrade to a Ryzen 7800X3D so will need a new mobo.
How is the Gigabyte B650 Eagle - - good/bad?

That isn't a bad board to invest onto though in 2025 and if I were in your shoes, I'd look into a B850 chipset instead of the B650 chipset.

What other bords do you have access to? What is your budget for your motherboard purchase? What is your location?

I think the main difference was they add v pci e 5.0 support. I built a pc on a b650 board in December and I’m happy with it. Truthfully though if I were building another pc, I’d consider an a620 board for me. I don’t really overclock anymore as the new CPUs basically try to get most of the performance out of the box in the way they boost etc.

Recently saw a video where a guy from Australia was working with a 7800x3d on an a620 and was having success with it. But myself, I have the Asus tuf gaming b650 plus WiFi. Got it as part of a bundle. I’m getting anymore to where I just want the cheapest board that does the job. I think a lot of the modern boards are way too expensive. Honestly while my board is nice, had it not been in the bundle deal, I’d probably have opted for a cheaper one.

Main and probably only difference is in chipset capabilities and options. More PCIe lanes and support for 4th and 5th generation, which also brings more NVMe support. USB4 and more USB3.2 gen ports. Those my vary among different makes and models.
Anything, including PCIe lanes and memory is exactly same and depends on CPU.
In general depends on BIOS and VRM to judge it good or bad. They are all equally "good" just depends on what you want from it.

some of the B650s dont use pcie 5.0x16 which is not a huge issue

The b850 i would assume runs 5.0 x16 only other things is VRMs like above post you want decent if your thinking of updating later on such as 9800x3d !!
