New PC build

[Drewsan]

Hello all,

I have recently decided to upgrade my PC and as someone who is fairly novice I would like to please ask your advice.

My budget is flexible.

1) I'd settled on picking up a 7800x3d, though have noticed that th 7900x3d is now the same price range. Is it worth picking it up? I create Youtube videos from Outplayed (game recordings) and want to stitch them together with an outro, which may increase in complexity over time.

2) Build is as follows so far:

ASUS 4070 Super Dual OC
7800x3d / 7900x3d
32GB Kingston FURY Beast DDR5
Samsung 990 PRO
Corsair RMX Shift PSU (Wattage to be determined)

Case to be decided - (E-ATX due to very large hands!)

3) Which motherboard (ASUS) should I choose? Is it worth picking up an X670 vs a B650?

Thank you guys, that's all very helpful. I don't need spdif or anything to sophisticated on the back panel. HDMI and Displayport with a ton of USBs and Audio out is fine.

In terms of using the m.2 drives - Can I use the first slot without sacrificing the pci-e lanes. I'd want to use pci-e 5.0 to futureprrof, yes. So basically if I used the remaining 2 or 3 m.2 drive slots then I'd be using the pci-e lane(s), just like multiple graphics cards do?

As a gaming rig I can imagine that being some serious bottleneck?

Thanks!
