Alright, I think I'm definitely leaning towards the MSI Tomahawk x870 for my 9800x3d build:
Asrock is awful with their stock because it sells out faster than you could conceivably check out. I happened to be on my computer and click a Newegg tab when it was in stock, added it to my cart, and it was already gone before the next page loaded.
I guess it's a sign because although they made one good board, it's purple color is a too faggy, anyways.
For RAM, I'm thinking either
G.Skill Trident 64gb 6000 CAS 30
Teamgroup 48gb 6400 CAS 32
Asrock's memory QVL also seemed a lot more limited than anyone else's, whereas MSI is at least pretty normal and open to most things out there.
I know Gigabyte is notorious for having a ton of different "revision" boards that make no sense when you're just looking through them.
From all the researching I've done for both Intel and AMD, I think the motherboard situation is just fucked in general. Way too much segmentation and dumb requirements, specifically AMD, and overall way too expensive for seemingly basic features.
And fuck Windows 11, it's a goddamn piece of shit OS that should have been tossed in the bin. It's so egregious that I would not even mind in this case if Microsoft had regulators breathing down their necks over their bullshit planned obsolescence requirements and told them to either continue supporting Windows 10 if they're so worried about "security" given the vast number of computers that are incompatible, just for a glorified ad platform downgrade, or open source Windows 10.
MS is such a clusterfuck that their own updates are a bigger liability than any of their fearmongering. There is a less than zero possibility that I would ever trust them with things like bitlocker for a damn personal computer that's only job is to use the internet and play games.

If you don't mind me asking, which motherboard manufacturer was it?
