I checked the compatibility of your components. The MindFactory pages suggest that your 4x DDR4 sticks and the 16GB G-Skill RAM should work together with the 3060 processor. Just confirm your motherboard model for full assurance.
The Gigabyte X670E is a solid motherboard, though it comes at a higher cost. It pairs well with the 7800X3D and offers great performance. You can find a more affordable alternative that still works with the 7800X3D without compromising speed or stability. DDR4 RAM won’t function here because this board supports DDR5 only.
Looking for affordable options under $200? You can still run the 7800X3D on a B650, X670, B850 or X870 board. Amazon lists several choices with these models and specs.
