CPU/Mobo Need help choosing between a B850 vs X870/E Motherboard

[DigitalDude]

As the thread title says, need help choosing between the B850 and X870/E motherboards.

For example many motherboards with these chipsets are around similar price point like:
Asus ROG Strix B850-F - 34k
Asus Prime X870-P - 35k
ASRock X870E Nova - 37k

I have no use for the USB 4. Not even in the near future. I'm good with the USB 20gbps for a long time.
I also prefer the Intel 2.5g LAN in the B850-F. No need overclocking except for RAM XMP/EXPO.
Most probably will be pairing with a Ryzen 9900X CPU and 6400/7200Mhz 2x24GB RAM.

So I'm planning to get the B850-F. Please tell me what am I missing?

Considering these factors, why spend so much on a B850/X870? They are pretty pointless unless you need the extra lanes.

Get a good B650 for 10k less or X670 for the price of an entry-level B850, unless you have a specific requirement?

i would get B650E/X670E motherboard, you are future proof with PCIE5 with this, asrock steel legend/msi gaming plus both available under 24k.
