The long awaited 9800X3D now is here. Looking for a good motherboard to pair with it. Any good suggestions?

Any AM5 motherboard, even the most budget-friendly, is unlikely to throttle the CPU, given its expected efficiency in gaming. Consider a B650 motherboard; many affordable options offer BIOS flashback for easy CPU compatibility. X670 and X870 boards only provide additional connectivity, not performance enhancements.
Just get a B650 motherboard.
I got the GIGABYTE B650 AORUS Elite AX for 9800X3D, works well. https://www.amazon.com/GIGABYTE-B650-Warranty-EZ-Latch-Motherboard/dp/B0BH7GTY9C?tag=7649-20
Waiting for B850 motherboards.
B850 motherboards are OK.
For value, a B650 around $150 is great. If your budget allows, X670E boards like the Taichi Lite offer more features. Consider your needed I/O like USB4 when deciding.
X870E Gaming motherboard for high-end users.
