Please recommend Motherboard and give reviews for my build

Budget (including currency): $3500 (excluding Peripherals)

Country: India

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Games and Deep Learning

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): I am building a pc and selected parts on part picker, but am unable to decide on the motherboard.

The link for the build is : https://pcpartpicker.com/list/tNCG8J

Pls give recommendation and advice

Thanks For Your Help

So why does OP need a $350 board?

at least it isnt a $750 board. something like an Aorus extreme is super overkill

Are you planning on doing serious deep learning? If so, go for a 3080ti or even a 3090 if you can stretch or budget. Downgrade to a 5800x, or even a Zen 2 CPU, since it won't make any difference in performance in those cases (unless  you're more worried about gaming than DL), but you do really want 11gb of vram or more to run most of the SOTA models. Even a 3060 ends up being more useful than a 3080 due to the vram difference. 2x 3060 would also be sweet, but pretty useless for your gaming scenarios.

 

Similar to what was recommended before, go for 2x32gb instead of 4 sticks, this will allow you to upgrade to 128gb later on.

 

As for the motherboard, a good B550 such as the aforementioned Tomahawk, or a B550-F/B550-E, or B550 Steel Legend will be more than enough for you.

 

I personally see no reason to go with x570 unless you really want to use two PCIe 4.0 NVMes.

FX6300 @ 4.2GHz | Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3 R2 | Hyper 212x | 3x 8GB + 1x 4GB @ 1600MHz | Gigabyte 2060 Super | Corsair CX650M | LG 43UK6520PSA
ASUS X550LN | i5 4210u | 12GB

If you need a crap ton of vram why not just go for tesla k80 instead?

 

K80 are like 200-300$ on ebay and they have 24gb of vram, though they are dual gpu cards

Awful performance for today's standards, no tensor cores, and compute capability of 3.7 (current GPUs are 8.6), which means lack of support for some stuff. As an example, tensorflow requires a minimum compute capability of 3.5, so we can expect those k80 to become unsupported soon-ish.
