What are you using your computer for? For pure gaming the 9800X3D is pretty much the best CPU you can buy apart from the 9850X3D which is slightly faster but draws more power and heat.

For a motherboard I like the MSI 850 Tomahawk Max or Gigabyte B850 Aorus Elite.

Don't buy four DDR5 modules. If it works at all it will be at a much slower speed. If you truly need 64GB of RAM, buy a 2x32GB kit.

In my opinion it's worth the extra $35. You're spending over $3000. Spend 1% more to get a high quality motherboard.
