Hello I'm about to start building my new rig from scratch

I wanted some advice from someone who knows suitable and compatible parts.

I will start with ryzen 7 5800x or 9 5900x.
I want advice on best mobo I could match it preferably Aorus or Rog strix , which chipset etc is what I wanna find out.

Also based on these two, which ram should I go for that works well with this bundle??

Throw any ideas you might have please. Regards
 
Save some money and get a 5600X.

B550 motherboard will suffice, no real need to go for an X570 in all honesty. I’d even consider a B450 too, they’re still good boards but may need a BIOS flash to support a 5x00 CPU

16GB of 3200MHz ram is the minimum I’d suggest.
 
What are you planning on using it for? If it's just gaming, a 5800x with 16gb 3600 c16 is pretty future proof. If you're into content creation, the 5900x is an absolute beast - bump the ram up to 32gb though.

A b550 is a good option, but on most boards you're limited to 1 pcie 4.0 4x nvme slot and a pcie 4.0 16x slot for the gpu. The other expansion slots are pcie 3.0, but that's unlikely to be a deal breaker.
 
So,
Strix b550 f gaming (£189)
Vs
Strix x570 e gaming (£289)

Is it worth saving that hundred quid??
I'm building the pc only for high quality gaming (1440p)
 
That's my final thought on the relevant parts

Asus strix b550 f Gaming
Ryzen 7 5800x
16gb Corsair vengeance rgb Pro 3600 C18
Asus strix 850w 80plus modular

Looks okay?
