Hello, Im not really a spcialist here so I thought I might ask someone who has more clue in this topic.

Basically Im trying to decide whichever of these two MOBOs are better for me.
1) ASUS TUF GAMING B650-PLUS WIFI
2) MSI MAG B650 TOMAHAWK WIFI
They both cost the same so I dont know...

Additionally...
Im planning to use Fractal Design Focus 2 RGB Black TG for the case.
And perhaps use my old cooler NH-D14 with an extention for AM5 socket (78003xD cpu) tho I dont know which rams to get, perhaps something low profile so the cooler can fit, if you can get me an recommendation for that too, it would be cool.

If this is the wrong forum for such question, let me know where to move it, thanks a lot eitherway, have a nice day :)

Hmm, the MSI has WiFi 6E, so could potentially be a bit faster there depending on your router/WiFi. However, they both have 2.5 Gbps ethernet so if are you using that, not much different.

The ASUS has a bit more M.2 flexibility with access to one 110mm slot, and full heat sink coverage of all three slots.

These memory should be low profile enough to work with an old school D14.

Is there also legit 'mATX' mobo with AM5 socket that is comparable with the above mobos? (PCIE 5.0 support, good wifi and no bios hassle?) Im kind of worried of 'updating it' is it anything hard of a task as In the reviews I seen some people have some problems with the mobos and needed to update it or some stuff... any thoughts?
