Recs for a motherboard

[steady edge]

Want a recommendation for a motherboard that can support AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D and 4070.

[charred lagoon]

msi pro b650

[steady edge]

do all motherboards usually have to update bios to use 7800X3D?

[charred lagoon]

yeah but its probably fine

[steady edge]

also does it really matter what kind of 4070 I get

if im not gonna be overclocking like crazy

[charred lagoon]

get the cheapest one

i cant reccomend a 4070 for gaming bur if ur doing cuda stuff go for it

[steady edge]

I'm getting it for gaming but also probably gonna use it for all the coding stuff ima do in the future

which rn is probably machince learning or something

[charred lagoon]

you would be better with an amd card then

[charred lagoon]

idk how machine learning does on amd

i think it might be a bit better on amd

[steady edge]

google says nvidia

idk I'll just stick with nvida for now then

[obtuse summit]

may i note that the 4070 is a bit weak for the 7800x3d, i mean id really only reccomend it with a 7900xtx or higher, otherwise getting a 7700 or 7600 with a 4070ti or 7900xt would be more balaneced.

[charred lagoon]

what

[obtuse summit]

saying that the 4070 is better paired with a 7600 or 5600

its a 3080 competitor

you would get much more improvement getting a faster gpu and slower cpu

[steady edge]

I just thought I would get a higher end cpu because I tend to play cpu intensive games too rn like cs or val

actually im fine with a 7 7700X

[rustic wyvern]

ye it should be more than fine for cs or val

theyre extremely easy to run

[steady edge]

is 7700x fine with a 4070?

[rustic wyvern]

ye

please dont say the b word

does this look fine

so many 4070s were out of stock lmao

but I got a microcenter near me so I should be able to find one

[rustic wyvern]

looks fine

people say that 980 pro speeds rarely gets fully utilised so might aswell go lower priced ssd but i have no clue if it helps with what yuore doing

[steady edge]

ok I'm gonna go down

so 970 pro?

[rustic wyvern]

honestly... i do not know enough about ssds to make a reccomendation

[steady edge]

it says 980 has a more advanced interface than the 970

no idea what that means but I'll just get a 980 then

storage has gotten a lot cheaper the last time I was looking at it

ok that should be good

wait
