Yes, the Asrock B650E Steel Legend is a solid motherboard. But you will be spending 8k(more than 50%) more for that board over the Asus TUF B650M Plus Wifi board. Unless you want the PCIE-Gen5 slots, or the extra VRAM to upgrade to something like the 9950X, you are better off with the Asus one. Also, with the latest set of issues of Asrock Motherboards frying 9000 series X3D processors, they ain't looking too good.

It's fine buying used if you are really getting a deal. Like half the price or something, for 10-20% off it's not worth it especially if its a motherboard because a lot of things can go wrong with the motherboard since its such a complex piece of a component.
If you are planning on upgrading to a 9800X3D in the future (like in a year or two) then sure get a good high end motherboard. RAM speed matters more in processor intensive applications/games, since you will be gaming at 4k no game will put enough pressure on the processor to make a difference. CL = Cas latency (TLDR: the lower the number the better the performance)
There exists motherboards like ASUS ROG Strix B760-I. I read what you wanted out of a motherboard and listed a motherboard that good for the money that's all.

Delivered yes, but it was damaged, the top right side of the motherboard had broken off and the remaining portion had bent pins.
The top right from the fan header till the EPS 24pin header was bent or broken.
Absolutely pissed with it but what can you expect from these shitty stores.
1. The box was in bad shape
2. Sealed with cello tape.
The delivery guy captured a few shots of the damage and I rejected the delivery.

I can't post in the relevant thread - https://techenclave.com/threads/flipkart-deals-and-discounts-2025.224529/page-5#post-2603766, maybe someone else can on my behalf.
Anyway, the socket was fine but the board was damaged due to extremely rough handling by their staff.
Ordering from Flipkart is like playing Russian Roulette with just one chamber unloaded.

Issue with open box delivery is that if you somehow missed something, a broken component or something that was glued or whatnot, you can not request a refund or replacement. They will simply deny it because it was an open box delivery and you checked the item was in expected condition.

Recieved the product just today ,it seems opened and checked everything for 5mins ,looked at pins mainly from different angles it doesn't look crooked or bent ,someone who bought it earlier removed plastic cover on the mobo ,i can't test mobo as i don't have anything else to test ,one side the cover protector still intact yes this isn't new but for 18k i think this is good mobo for my requirements

You got lucky, good for 18k but you expect a new mobo at that price.
I bought Gigabyte B850 Gaming X WiFi (basically B850 variant of the popular B650 Gaming X AX V@), bought for 19.5k, with SBI cashback CC, effective was 18.5k.

True I guess. Only issue is RMA takes some time and you will be out of a working PC until then, considering you will test this motherboard when you get other parts. I guess it's worth the troubles.
Recieved ch 560 it is sealed pack ,no visible prints or anything got it for 6.2k and additional discounts of 5% using sbi cc and other discount

Do we need to ship TeamGroup RAMs to Taiwan for RMA? I have heard so, if not then who does the RMA here?
