Managed to pick up some well priced memory in the current maddness, so I'm finally trying to put together a somewhat overdue upgrade.

I'm looking for a board to put a 9800x into (proabably not X3D), primarily for coding.
Otherwise, I'm basically planning on dropping in most of the existing system, so that's a 12gb GTX3060 2 NVME drives (SN850x, PCIE-4 & GSM2NE3100TNTD, PCIE-3) plus 2 more SATA SSDs and a SATA DVD drive.

No interest in overlocking this, I've been running essentially passive cooling (Large Noctua cooler + 1 exhaust fan) for years, which rules out anything with a nasty little chipset fan :P

Only real thing that would be useful would be 2.5GBE networking.
 
Sapphire Nitro+? seems well priced and good spec. I was going to get one for my sons 7800X3d but they went out of stock at the last minute.

OCUK have MSI's B850 Gaming Plus for £130 and that meets what you need, BUT it only meets it now. If you buy another M.2 drive, there's no room (save for an adapter in the bottom PCI-E slot).

It is also white, if you prefer black.
