Now when it comes to motherboards, it's really mostly preference. The more you pay, the more features you get. If you're looking for budget, I just built a system on the MSI z490 A Pro which can be found for around $160 (e,g,best buy). I would avoid budget ASRock z490 boards as they're horrible on VRM temperatures and you'll experience CPU throttling (check hardware unboxed for budget z490 board overview on youtube). In general, you can't really go wrong with the big names (MSI, ASUS, Gigabyte).
EDIT: MSI Z490 A PRO was used for a 10600K. You're looking for a mobo with overclocking for a 10850K - you'll probably want to get a beefier motherboard if you're wanting to overclock the 10850K. Others can chime in with recommendations for a motherboard that won't choke on an overclocked 10850K, or you can also look up reviews online.

This is the last time you going to see 10 core.
The 11th Gen is now 8 core.
Bc of competition from AMD to make Intel humble! Now AMD is over priced!
