Question Choosing the Perfect Motherboard to Complete My PC Build

[andrei-pulva]

Hi everyone,

I’m finalising my PC build, mainly for gaming, productivity, video editing, and sound production. Here’s my current configuration:
• CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D
• CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D15 chromax.black
• Motherboard: Still looking for the right one
• Memory: Corsair Vengeance 64GB (2x32GB) DDR5-6000 CL30 (AMD optimized)
• SSD: Western Digital WD Black SN850X 4TB M.2 PCIe 4.0
• GPU: Gigabyte WINDFORCE OC GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER 16GB
• Case: Corsair 7000D AIRFLOW ATX Full Tower
• PSU: Corsair RM850e 850W 80+ Gold Fully Modular

I need help choosing a motherboard. Looking for a high-end, reliable option with no hardware or driver issues. It should have the latest technologies, good connectivity (Wi-Fi 7, etc.), and be future-proof. I also prefer a simple black design with no RGB.

Budget: Around 400€. Do you have any recommendations?

Many thanks,
Best

You could look at this board;

but it'd help us two fold to know the sort of features you want out of your motherboard purchase. What you've stated here;

Is pretty generic. If you look around, all boards will need some form of tinkering, like a BIOS update or reinstalling of chipset drivers or even making sure your OS didn't botch it's update(nuking the entire platform). Some people look for high end audio, others look for M.2 storage options while others look towards a watercooling build, so aesthetics come into play.
