What Motherboard for 7800X3D/9800X3D

[GoRedwings19]

I am looking to build either a 7800X3D setup or waiting for a little bit and getting a 9800X3D. What motherboard is the go to. My usage is just gaming. No productivity at all. Other considerations it has to be White/Silver and it has to have optical out.

The last AMD setup I owned was the 5950x and Gigabyte B550 combo.

I don't really have a set budget for the motherboard so as long as it under £1000

Prime B650-Plus is the cheapest with spdif that I can see (black PCB, silver sinks). Thermal performance is not great, but would be fine with the 7800X3D.

MSI B650 Edge would be a pricier alternative (black PCB, white/grey sinks).

If you want USB4, X870 Pro RS/Steel Legend (white PCB, white/grey sinks) or X870 Aorus Elite AX Ice (white PCB, white/grey sinks)

Thanks for your suggestions. I have been looking at the X870 Aorus Elite AX ICE for the past few days. Can I ask what the diff between X870 and X870E?
