Can’t decide between Gigabyte B850 AORUS ELITE WIFI7, Gigabyte X870 EAGLE WIFI7 AMD, MSI MAG B850 TOMAHAWK WIFI, and MSI X870E Gaming Plus WIFI
Hey everyone,
I’m putting together a new PC and could use some advice on the motherboard. The build so far is:
* **Ryzen 7 9800X3D**
* **32GB (2x16GB) DDR5 CL30 6000MHz**
* **RTX 5060 Ti 16GB**
* **Acer Predator GM7 1TB NVMe**
Right now, I’m stuck choosing between these boards:
* **Gigabyte B850 AORUS Elite WiFi 7**
* **Gigabyte X870 Eagle WiFi 7**
* **MSI MAG B850 Tomahawk WiFi**
* **MSI X870E Gaming Plus WiFi**
They’re all around the same price where I live, so it really comes down to whether I should go for something like X870E for the extra PCIe lanes and expansion, or stick with a solid B850 board that offers great value and VRMs.
The system will be mainly for **gaming, with some video editing and general office work**. I might also experiment a bit with **local image generation and LLMs**....and I have around 100 Brave tabs open at a time, if that helps. XD
Part of what’s making this harder is mixed feedback online. I’ve seen quite a few negative reviews about the MSI B850 Tomahawk, and I’ve personally had bad experiences with two MSI gaming laptops in the past, so I’m a bit hesitant there. I originally ordered the Gigabyte X870 Eagle, but it went out of stock. After digging more, the B850 AORUS Elite seems like a really strong option, maybe even better, but then I also keep seeing people complain about Gigabyte boards and their software/bloatware.
**If I stick with an X-series board, the X870E is still on the table, but I’m honestly a bit lost at this point, and more inclined towards the B850 AORUS Elite.**
**What would you go with for this kind of build?**
Thanks in advance!
