Possible motherboard help

[MachP]

What is a motherboard that is considered a notable upgrade from a x570 Aorus Elite? I got the Aorus elite early on and now that I see the revised x570's, the newer x570's like the Tuf Pro and Tomahawk and the nice B550's I'm starting to get jealous of them. I know it's not rational but they are so shiny and new and cool.

You could get the Asus ROG Strix x570-E Gaming. It's a premium board with a lot more features than the Aorus Elite. But to be honest it's not worth it to upgrade the motherboard now with the next gen on the horizon needing a AM5 chipset. But you could go the reverse and skip first gen AM5 and stay with a top end AM4 system while you wait for AM5 and DDR5 prices to drop in the future.

I have a 3700x and also got a 5800x for cheap at only $465 Cad. My only problem is getting a 3080 to replace my 2070.

Yep, I have the 5800x as well, which is why I recommended the Asus ROG Strix x570-E Gaming, its the best board I tried out so far. Good luck trying to find a RTX 3080 mate! Don't give up! Just a tip, as far as I read and my own experience, the 5800x runs hot, its idle for me at 40-45 with a 360mm AIO (H150i Elite Capellix) and it spikes to 90 under 30 seconds doing Cinebench R23 multicore.

I'm sticking with this build until the second or third generation for AM5 comes out.
