Either way, the amd am5 socket is confirmed to support future generation zen6 cpus as a drop-in upgrade (with current rumors indicating am5 will likely also support two gen in the future zen7 cpus), so in terms of having an upgrade path the am5 platform is drastically superior.
If you choose to go for this motherboard anyways, you can sweeten this deal a little with the ongoing newegg giftcard promotion (bonus $15 giftcard with purchase of $100 giftcard): https://slickdeals.net/f/18761887-100-newegg-gift-card-15-newegg-promotional-gift-card-100-email-delivery

($30 more, slightly lower tier but still high-end board, amd am5 socket with a far superior upgrade path and more desirable cpu options, DRASTICALLY superior 32gb ddr5 8000mt/s ram)

Motherboard review: https://overclock3d.net/reviews/c...fi-review/
The ram is the biggest disappointment in this combo, but I suppose that's to be expected considering the horrendous state of the memory market currently. Prices have jumped 50% or more, and they're not expected to drop anytime soon. Still, at $350 I'd expect this motherboard to be paired with ddr5 7200mt/s at least. Ddr5 6000mt/s 36-44-44-96 1.4v is middle of the road, not exceptional but not abhorrent. It unfortunately is extremely unlikely to use hynix memory chips (most likely samsung instead), so I'd expect overclocking/tuning potential to be fairly limited. High speed (8000mt/s+) cudimm memory would provide a meaningful performance boost over the ram in this deal, but would also be a few hundred dollars, so nowhere near worthwhile.
