Hello, For the 7900X you're considering, X670e is a solid choice, while non E or B650E with non E offers more flexibility. Both fit your gaming, 3D design, and video editing needs. Let me know if you need more details! Edited November 12, 2022 by g335 correction

Are you referring to the X670E? Z670 isn't a chipset for AMD CPUs. The distinction between X670E and B650E lies in the amount of I/O they support. If you require many M.2 drives, an X670E board is likely the better choice, though you shouldn't focus solely on the chipset but rather on the board's capabilities. Opt for the most affordable board that meets your requirements, as the chipset mainly defines what features a board can actually offer. Based on what you mentioned, it seems a B650E board would fit, but some X670 models are more budget-friendly than their B650 counterparts, making them a viable alternative.

I prioritize performance and connectivity more than the number of M.2 drives. I’ll stick to just two M.2 drives. For big storage, I’ll go with SSDs or HDDs.

Generally, boards priced over $200 support a solid VRM for the 7950X. The number of USB ports varies widely depending on the specific board, not just the chipset—like the B650E Taichi offers more USB ports than the X670E Taichi and many other X670 models.

Many boards above $200 offer solid performance today and can manage high-speed drives like 7950x or 7900x. The key distinction between x670 and b650 lies in their PCIe versions—x670 provides PCIe5.16 from the CPU while b650x uses PCIe4.16. Right now, no GPUs benefit significantly from PCIe5. The main advantage is the extra number of slots on the motherboard. x670 usually has more ports for things like capture cards and 10G LAN, whereas b650(e) focuses on different configurations. If those features aren’t important, consider the b650(e) instead of x670(e), and allocate savings toward a better case, power supply, or faster RAM.

Opt for the X670 if you plan to use a capture card.

It relies on your GPU's slot width. Make sure you can place the capture card in a lower slot with sufficient PCIe lanes and enough space without obstructing airflow.

They're referring to the new Crucial T1700 SSD M.2, which indeed use PCIe5 protocols. The capacity is up to 4TB, and there are raiding reports on MSI boards with PCIe5 everywhere. It's impressive how much of a difference that makes. I'm curious about the performance boost from PCIe5 and whether it's worth the upgrade. It sounds like a significant step forward, especially if you're after faster speeds.
