I've spent hours researching PC components. I have a Ryzen 7 7800x3d and an RX 9060 XT, and I've been searching for motherboards from one brand to another, but I haven't found the right one. I've heard of MSI, ASUS, ASRock, etc. The VRM is low, or the board is too basic. The more information I find, the more discouraged I get (e.g., DR.MOS is superior to P-PAK). I don't want to overclock or play at 2K or 4K, just 1080p. I was considering an ASRock B850M Pro RS (I read that it has issues like frying the CPU), but now I'm stuck. I don't know which motherboard to get. I was leaning towards a B850-Plus; it has a good VRM, but it uses a P-PAK system. Any recommendations? I'd like to buy a case with a Corsair 5000D Airflow cooler, a Corsair RM750x SHIFT 750W 80 Plus Gold certified power supply, Kingston Fury Beast RGB 16GB 6000MT/s DDR5 RAM, a Kingston M.2 NV3 1TB SSD, and an ASUS ROG Strix LC III 360 ARGB LCD liquid cooler (black) for the CPU.
Could you give me some guidance? I don't want to play at 4K or 2K, just smoothly. There are so many games that my current PC can't handle anymore, and I'm not really into AAA games; I mostly play indie games. The most I can hope for is Metro 2039.

Not Asus, and not ASRock imo.
I got a MC bundle and spent an extra $50 for a MSI x870e-p. No issues so far, but there are definitely cheaper boards that will work for you.

for 1080p indie games the B850-PLUS is fine, don't overthink the P-PAK thing, it's a non-issue when you're not overclocking and the 7800X3D is locked anyway.
ditch the 360 AIO and get a Thermalright Peerless Assassin instead, cheaper, quieter, and that CPU doesn't need liquid cooling. also bump RAM to 32GB if you can, 16GB is starting to feel tight even for lighter workloads.
rest of the build is solid.
