It is okay, how far into the future do you plan using that board?

If it's anything like my last PC until it's time too move to a new platform. I do know if I want to upgrade to a higher end am5 I'll have to get a better board. But I figured for $107 it's not bad for now as long as it will handle my 7700x. Thank you for your help.

Yeah, it will handle 7700x, for board that stays you'd need approx 127$

considering the cb score relative to other boards and the price of only 107, i/o still comparable to the b650m hdv, and an actually better board being another 36$ extra (b650-p wifi) this board is perfectly fine

 

if you want to run a ryzen 9 on it youll simply have to put a vrm fan and you magically no longer have vrm heating issues and can overclock a 7950x just fine, yes airflow really helps that much with vrms esp with heatsinks
