Thoughts on X670E sort of budget

Is the MSI MAG X670E Tomahawk any good? For use with Ryzen 9 7950x, RTX 4090, 2x 2tb raid0 Samsung 990s and 96gb memory in 2x48 config. I just don’t understand why the motherboards have to be so expensive, thinking of maybe a light overclock on whatever I can.

There are cheap options, such as asrock b650m hdv/m.2.

And that wouldn’t choke the CPU, GPU or memory at all?

I am not sure about VRM. You may check some review if that would chock 7950x.
GPU would be absolutely fine.
Memory, you only get 2 slots.
It only cost $120 at my region.

One step above, gigabyte b650m Aorus Elite. It won’t chock anything whatsoever.
