if you are pairing with the latest gpu, you might want to bump up for X870 instead. B850 is only PCIE4.

Asus is strong with 8 series.

I tot b850 is pcie 5.0? Saw their specs there write pcie 5.0 for like asrock b850 pro-a wifi. Looking to reduce reduce budget, 7700x seems like sweet spot compared to overinflated 7800x3d and 9800x3d.

I think pcie 5.0 lane b850 can use cpu one dedicated for gpu, then chipset pcie5.0 for nvme. That is my understanding la.
