I'm looking to do a new build around the 9800X3D when it launches and I am researching motherboards.
I currently have a 4070 Super which I picked up recently for an absolute steal.
I'm not a frequent upgrader. I'm currently on my circa 10 year old 4790k and similarly will be looking to prolong/future proof this build as much as possible. That will likely mean dropping in a 6080/7080 a few years down the line or AMD equivalent
I'm looking at B650 boards, not many support PCIe 5.0. Is this likely to be an issue with future graphics cards in the next 5+ years?
I'm not too bothered about M.2 gen 5.
My only requirement is for a full ATX board so I have an accessible PCIE slot underneath a double/tripple slot graphics card.
I'm currently looking at the ROG Strix B650E-F due to its PCIE 5.0 support. However, it's quite a pricy board and would like to save some money there if possible.
Any recommendations would be greatly welcomed. Thanks.
