Just decided to upgrade to a 7800x3d, with the help of some people in the CPU section.
Just been looking at motherboards, and narrowed it down to either the, MSI B650 Tomahawk or MSI MAG x670e Tomahawk.
I have found a bundle deal for both with a 7800x3d on a different site. The B650 is just over £100 cheaper.
The x670e is over £100 more expensive, but it supports PCIe 5.0.
I have a 4080 super which I believe is PCIe 4.0. Do I really need 5.0, when PCIe 5.0 GPUs are probably quite a while away? Or are the 5.0 PCIe slots just for M2 cards?
Are there any other makes and model of motherboard that is better than these for similar price ranges?
Also, to save starting a 3rd thread in the memory section - What recommendations for RAM speed with that setup? I'd only need 32gb, and it will be for gaming.
