I'm looking for some advice on motherboards and I know that folks may have differences of opinion but I have not researched this stuff in years and I fear that my system might fail so I want to move quickly while limiting my potential for error.
Here's a few decisions that I've already made so I'm hopefully this might narrow things down a bit.
My new system is going to include an Intel Core I5-13600 processor, DDR5 memory and a WD 1 TB SSD. My local parts shop suggested a Gigabyte Z790 UP AC motherboard but I don't know if that's a good motherboard or whether there's a better model/brand of motherboard to use in this new rig. My existing system has lasted well past it's prime but at the time was built with some of the best parts available and that's pretty much what I'm looking for in this build. I'm looking for a board that will hold up over time that's not going to have some weird incompatibility issue with Window's upgrades and patches or have some glitchy issue with software. I don't want to rule out any kind of hardware upgrades over time but for the most part what I anticipate is that this is going to be a "once and done" build. Any and all opinions are welcomed and appreciated.
