I have always owned an Intel based PC and am very tempted now to go for an AMD 7800X3D or 7900X3D or 7950X3D, though the FPS gain with the latter two appears to be minimal. Any recommendation for a very good AM5 motherboard e.g. budget, middle and high end? I use an ASUS® ROG STRIX X670E-E GAMING WIFI (WIFI 6E, DDR5, PCIe 5.0) - ARGB Ready!

And sometimes one of their boards will be well-featured and little less expensive. I went with Asus on my AM5 simrig build this time. But I may be building another AM5 for someone soon, and I may roll with an ASRock board for it. Rhett 7800X3D ♣ 96 GB G.Skill Flare ♣ Gigabyte 4090 ♣ Crucial P5 Plus 2TB
