Question which for sim-racing ?

[4711Austria]

Hello!
would like to ask for your advice
ATX, AMD, AM5, PCIe5 are required
SimRacing - future ATX 5090, VR 4k
today - 5090 is not available, but the MB should be good to go in near future
AMD 7/9 3D
650E? 670E? 870E? which board is actually the piece to choose?
THX

This sounds more like a whole build sort of question. I suggest you look here and follow the template provided to better define your needs.

How to Ask for New Build or Upgrade Advice First off, respect where respect is due - this is an adaptation of the Animal's *How To Ask For New Build Advice* Sticky. I created this because there's a lot of posts nowadays asking for upgrade advice both on here and on the CPU forums, and I feel...

Want to find and buy it now. max. 500€
AMD 7gen should be the choice for gamers I read
which CPU is open right now, do not know which one to choose. (max 400€)
32GB Ram, more is not needed for Assetto Corsa EVO I read
M.2 (PCI, NvMe or SATA) also not yet clear

the target is that the MB is good to upgrade to ATX5090 und 4k on VR is running smooth.
Actually I have a Pico 3 Link VR
5,5 Zoll LCD-Display
4K-Niveau (3664 x 1920) PPI:773
72Hz/90Hz/120Hz

Motherboard has 0 influence on graphics card performance, when looking at the current generation boards, when using the primary x16 slot. It can affect CPU performance, if the VRM solution is terrible, or the bios is terrible with setting subtiming for ram.

that means, which MB, CPU, Ram, SSD... only PCIe5 and thats it. ?
what does VRM mean?

I could have a

ASUS TUF GAMING X670E-PLUS​

for a good price (used), should I go on it?

Sure. That is a decent motherboard to build a system around. What other components do you intend to use?

AMD Ryzen 7 7600X3D
Alpenföhn Brocken 4 CPU cooler

ADATA XPG LANCER Black Edition DIMM Kit 32GB, DDR5-6000, CL30-40-40, on-die ECC​

M.2 SSD 1TB
simple Monitor because I will use the Pico 3 VR
ATX housing, I do not need and want RGB lights or led.. 😉
ATX 1000W power supply
maybe the

ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER​

I would suggest, at least, a 2TB SSD vice 1TB.

PCI-E gen5 doesn't really matter right now. A gen 4 SSD will still work, and is plenty fast enough. Gen 5 on the 5090 is just a marketing gimmick. VRM's are the voltage regulation for the motherboard. A weak solution will overheat, and reduce CPU clocks to avoid burning up. I am not a fan of Asus, but that board should be fine.

what would be a better board?
