My Psu is a Eva 850 gold
i am wanting to keep the with the ddr4 if I can to save money. I am looking t the 5800x it I am at a loss for the motherboard. What is a good 200-250 ish price range mother board that will go great with that cpu?

Seconding this. You have already have a mobo that's compatible with the CPU you've picked for your upgrade and aren't changing anything up with the ram. Personally, I if I were in your shoes I'd wait until the next time you're going to upgrade to change out the motherboard since whether you go team red or blue you'll need a new motherboard due to AMD having changed sockets.

Asus B550-XE is kinda the next best thing if you don't want to spend the ~450ish on a the best of the best X570. Also heard good things about the Asus Tuf x570-plus, same with the gigabyte x570s Aurus elite AX.
TBH, as far as I know there's no real noticeable difference for the average user from one manufacturer to the next, even if you dip down into lower cost motherboards.

The 5800x is compatible with that mobo, so why change board?

I couldn't find anything on at MSI to see if it was compatible. You literally saved me a ton of money. I was not looking forward to changing Mother Boards. Thank you

Check bios (other drivers?) version required for the 5800X.

According to MSI so long as your bios version is 7B77v1I you should be able to use a 5800X with that board.

MSI MAG B550 TOMAHAWK MAX WIFI, ASUS TUF Gaming B550M-Plus and ASUS ROG Strix X570-E these are pretty solid. I've used msi and asus motherboards in 2 of my builds and havent had any issues. I heard Auros is pretty good brand as well.
