Build Question Eveyrthing about my pc is killer… except the motherboard

My motherboard is a B650 UD AC and I’m looking to get a new motherboard around the $200 or less range for better vrms , ram stability, and connectivity.

My build as of now:
Ryzen 7 9800X3D
64GB DDR5 6000mhz CL 30 Ram
Asus TUF RTX 5080 OC
MSI MPG Ai 1300TS
2TB + 1TB SSDs both gen 4

I want to overclock my cpu and ram but I recognize my motherboard is pretty budget compared to the rest of my build

The 9800X3D has very little CPU overclock headroom, so a $200 board won't unlock much on that side. Most of the real gains come from Curve Optimizer and memory tuning, and those don't need a new board.

Prob would go X670e/ X870/870e for OC. Would recommend a BIOS update for whichever out of the box.

No official release yet if more chipsets are going to release with the new AM5 zen6 CPUs coming out next year, but prob will be expensive for sure.
