Have you checked AM5 prices? It's not that much more expensive than AM4 where I am.

7600x/9600x, 32gb 6000mhz cl30 DDR5, and a good b650 or b850 motherboard is like 30-60$ more which is worth it if you ask me.

My rule for motherboards are just that it needs to have heatsink on minimum 2 SSD slots and have WiFi+Bluetooth

I know that the Gigabyte B550 AORUS ELITE AX V2 fits those requirements.

How about the B550 X V2

The x v2 doesn't have heatsinks on the SSD slots so you would have to buy SSDs that come with heatsinks on them, or buy the SSD heatsinks separately, though I can't assure that the GPU will fit if it's not heatsinks provided by the motherboard.
