Great start on the build! I'm curious about the choice of the MSI B850 motherboard for a Zen4 setup—are you planning to upgrade the CPU later, or is there another reason for opting for this board?
Good call on the B850; it should handle the 9800X3D well for now, leaving room for future upgrades if needed.
@lotte88 Interesting choice with the B850; any specific features you're aiming for, or just the upgrade path?
@jesse35 Thanks for the question. The B850 was chosen mainly for its upgrade path and solid VRM for overclocking the 9800X3D, plus it has the WiFi I need.
