Question Help decide between 2 Motherboards

[rjdthree]

Title says it all, looking for the best longevity and performance wise,

ASRock B650 LiveMixer AM5 ATX Motherboard
OR
ASRock B650 PG LIGHTING AM5 ATX Motherboard

Nearly the same thing, the livemixer seems to offer more pcie and other ports with alleged better audio, but was going to buy the Lighting before I found the livemixer, I do not care about looks

for the same money, the livemixer seems like the better board.

more pcie slots, faster m.2 slots and just a bit more of everything. though it does only have 2 sata ports so keep that in mind if you need them. the other board only has 4 sata ports so they are both kind of lacking there.
