Hi all

Pretty new here so apologies if this doesn’t belong here…

Wondering if there is any reason to go with one of these motherboards over the other. I’m not an overclocker or anything power mad but I want to future proof it to a certain extent.

MSI MAG B850 Tomahawk Max WiFi
VS
MSI MAG X870 Tomahawk WiFi
Or maybe even the x870-p

This is the build I’m looking at:

Case = Lian Li Lancool-216 ARGB Gaming Case - Black (features x2 160mm ARGB fans)
Extra_Fans = None Selected
CPU = AMD Ryzen™ 7 9800X3D: 8 Cores, 120W TDP, 4.70GHz, 5.20GHz Turbo, 96MB L3 Cache, Pro OC Compatible, Radeon Graphics
Overclocking = No Overclocking
Cooler = Fractal Design Celsius S36 360mm AIO Liquid Cooler - Black, Ultimate OC Compatible
Motherboard = MSI MAG B850 TOMAHAWK MAX WIFI: ATX w/ PCle 5.0, Wi-Fi 7, USB 4, 4x M.2
M2 = 4TB WD Black SN7100 M.2 NVMe PCIe SSD - 7000MB/s Read & 6700MB/s Write 1 Drive
RAID = None Selected
RAM = 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5/6000mhz Corsair Vengeance RGB Memory
GPU = Radeon™ RX 9070 XT - 16GB GDDR6 - HDMI, DP - RDNA™ 4 Architecture Single Card
PSU = Corsair RM850X 850W Cybenetics Gold-Certified Low-Noise ATX 3.1 Fully Modular Gaming Power Supply
PSU_Braided_Cables = None Selected
Wifi = None Selected

[Total Price]
PRICE = £1800.00

Also… is it worth putting a 1000w psu in there for future proofing a gpu upgrade

How to share a configured system

still mortar Jul 17, 2025, 10:40 AM

#

I clicked the share button and it put the link into my clipboard for me to paste … can you not see the config properly ?

#

The bot has posted it properly as far as I can see

cprgbglitch :tada: Congrats @still mortar, you levelled up to 1! :tada:

#

you noted the price as £1800, but the link takes you to a system that costs £1999.20

#

also the share button is not the same as the save button - it doesn't give the exact config

#

the bot will automagically post the specs if you use a saved link

#

instead of you having to paste the specs in yourself

Ah ok… 2 secs

#

Honestly it’s the base spec but with a 4tb ssd instead of 2tb:

i made some changes

#

MSI Pro X870-P WIFI is a better value motherboard IMO, but ultimately that's up to you

#

it's slightly cheaper than the one you had selected

#

and as for the drives i changed it to 2x 2TB drives as it's cheaper by £40 or so

#

with the PSU it's really up to you regarding 1000W or 850W - it depends how soon you plan to upgrade
