I just picked up an Aorus X870-E Master for my 9070 XT and 9800X3D. It was on a bundle sale so figured it was a good deal. Excited to build my first PC soon.

Just bought Gigabyte B850 Aorus Elite wifi7 Ice a few days ago, still on the way will post update once it arrived with the processor!! UPDATE: Everything went smoothly enabled EXPO at 6000 CL30 tuned the subtimings to buildzoid, and also enabled PBO and Curve optimizer at -30 now its at 5.5Ghz and runs cool even using air cooler!

Got a Asus tuf gaming B650e wifi on amazon for 124€ for my first pc built (but delivery is like 3-4 weeks). The parts are coming together slowly but surely.

I'm not computer-savvy at all but I'm planning on building my own, and I need all the help I can get. I don't know what anything means. I do enjoy you and your videos. Easier to understand then some.

Nice! I actually just bought the Asrock motherboard you recommended! Pretty solid features for its price 😊

11:35 I don’t understand the sentence, isn’t MSI X870E Carbon a premium motherboard compared to ASUS Tuf which is midrange?

I just bought all these parts and I am building this weekend, Let me know my mistakes before I start. AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D 4.7 GHz 8-Core Processor, Thermalright Hyper Vision ARGB 69 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler, Asus PRIME X670E-PRO WIFI ATX AM5 Motherboard, G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo RGB 64 GB (2 x 32 GB) DDR5-6000 CL30 Memory, Crucial T500 2 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 X4 NVME Solid State Drive, PowerColor Red Devil E/OC Radeon RX 9070 XT 16 GB Video Card, Thermaltake The Tower 600 ATX Mid Tower Case, Super Flower LEADEX VII Platinum PRO 1200 W 80+ Platinum Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply, 3xThermaltake SWAFAN EX12 ARGB 57.11 CFM 120 mm Fans 3-Pack

Asus Rog Strix x670e-f. Good value, for a high-end board. Was looking for a white themed board, but prices didn't drop on time. And the other was really at an attractive price

[technojazz]

I also really agree with the point on PCI lanes and M.2 slots. As SSDs get faster, that Gen 5 support is becoming non-negotiable. For future-proofing, it’s worth paying a little extra to get those features, even if you don't need them now. If you're like me, you'd rather have those options available when you eventually max out your system.

Anyone else feeling overwhelmed by how many choices there are now for Wi-Fi standards and USB ports?

[Sheriffen]

im basicly a noob at this but some motherboards seem like they need the wifi part to be attached to the actual motherboard either in the back or somewhere else? like with 1 or 2 antennas.. is it possible to get a motherboard where its just build in so you dont have to mount those antenna things? or isnt that a thing ?

[TYHN]

I ordered a 9070xt, Ryzan 7 9800x3d, and Msi mag b850 tomahawk max WiFi it’s my first pc build lol

[RveR]

I've recently bought a 9800X3D pairing it with a Aorus 870 Elite with 6000mhz CL30 G-skill Neo Ram. Very excited to see the difference from my I7 14700KF with DDR4 3200mhz currently

[Drewkungfoo]

I am thinking up swapping my CPU Platform in my Gaming PC From the Intel 13900K TO the R9 9950X3D on X870E, all while Moving my RTX 4080 and Other Drives to It.

[ShinkuBear]

Hi there i just picked up an Asus Rog Strix B650E-F wifi is that any good? Building my first PC 😅

[cj]

How do you rate the msi b850 tomahawk max wifi motherboard?

[dpking]

Can you do a video on customizing fan curves and undervolting? I purchased a 9070xt and a 9600x for my first pc build I'm planning but I've been hearing that people are experiencing unusually high temperatures unless they customize their fan curves and undervolt their 9070xt
