I don't get why people who aren't already running Ryzen 9s, i9s or 4090s are buying anything besides the cheapest option. On my last 3 builds I always sorted by price and picket the cheapest option for the CPU Socket, payed at most 70$ and never had any issues. If you need to get the last 5% of performance by overclocking I get it, but for anyone else this is a giant waste of money.
Motherboards are all about I/O and connectivity.
Personally, I do the exact same thing (I'm still Running an MSI B350M with a 5900X) but I can understand people that pay a couple hundred bucks to have extra ports / slots or built in wifi or whatever ....
$1000 for a motherboard tho ... that's ridiculous. What could possibly be worth 1000$?
Depends on what kind of games you play. Economic strategy games (tycoons, city-builders, large scale simulation games) can easily bring even a modern CPU to it's knees.
yeah but a expensive mainboard does next to nothing to improve the performance. If you already got the best SKU on offer and want to overclock then yes but otherwise its nonsense.
The motherboard doesn't matter AMD's 3D cache CPUs, which are king for these kinds of games. From what I've seen, you'd be crazy not to get either a 5700X3D or a 7800X3D with a cheap mobo.
