Motherboard for high end system!

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to understand what are the implications of choosing an ASUS® ROG STRIX X570-F GAMING vs an ASUS® CROSSHAIR VIII HERO for a system that has

CPU: AMD 5950x
Ram: 32GB CORSAIR VENGEANCE RGB PRO 3200 (2x 16GB)
GPU: RTX 3090

I'm tempted at shaving off this £93 difference between that 2 Motherboard, would this make sense?
If not why?


What are the implication of choosing the first over the latest?

Thanks again!

We can’t really comment on individual components as they all interrelate, if you post your max budget, what you’re using it for and what monitor you’re pairing it with we can advise further.

Hi, thanks a lot for your reply!!

Fair enough let me give you a bit more info,

Regarding the budget, I'm thinking the opposite way, instead of setting a limit, I'm trying to understand If I can shave off a little bit from a system that cost £3k at this stage from the motherboard specifically.
I surely want the RTX 3090 and the AMD 5950X.

I will use this build for game developing mainly, so rendering and processing power is a must.

regarding the monitor, I'm thinking to pair it up with an LGCX 48.


I hope this can give a bit better overview of my indecision of which motherboard I should go for

(For some reason the link uses an old configuration before I amended the order with few parts - so be careful with GPU, SSD, Powersupply, Case)
