I aim to purchase a 9800x3d once the new stock arrives. I need advice on the best motherboard and RAM to get, considering my budget of $300 for the motherboard and a requirement of 32GB RAM. I plan to overclock both the CPU and GPU, so high VRM performance is essential.

I just assembled a new system using components from Microcenter. I chose their 7600x3d package, which seems reasonable.
Checking the boards they include with the 7800x3d could provide a useful reference.
The budget board in that set appears to be an ASUS B650E TUF gaming WiFi.

An upgraded alternative looks like this:

These could be a good starting point, but you might want to consider the x670 and higher models. You should plan for at least 100 GB of RAM.
Edit: If you’re lucky enough to live close to a Microcenter, you could stop by and see what they have in stock.

Is there a model called Aorus b650e available for under $300 in the United States?

I was thinking about the B650 Tomahawk but want a Gen 5 x16 lane. Unsure if it matters for gaming.

Unfortunately, there isn't a microcenter near me.
