[SOLVED] Need help picking a motherboard for an LGA-1700 based 3D CAD workstation

[Sig_Dude]

Working on a new 3D workstation (SolidWorks) build. Here is what I have decided thus far:

CPU: i9-12900KF
case: be quiet! BG039
power supply: be quiet! BN645
cooling: be quiet! BW008
SSD1: Western Digital Black SN850 1TB
SSD2: Western Digital Black SN850 2TB
graphics: PNY Quadro RTX 5000
RAM: 32GB (4 x 8) DDR4 2133

What would be a good motherboard for this system?

Thanks for any help.

Graphics and RAM are still missing from your description. A 1200W power supply is probably overkill.

Just added both to the OP.

Thanks.

Your "upgrade to DDR5 later" is probably not feasible without a motherboard swap. The current motherboards are DDR4 OR DDR5. Not either.
I think the reset should be good.

Good piece on info, thanks.

So any recommendations on a motherboard?

Thanks for the recommendation. Why that model, may I ask?

Also, would I need heatsinks on my M.2 SSDs with that board?

Thanks again

I trust the brand I use the same model with my 10600K (Z490).
It has a 16+1+1 power phase for the M.2 drives it comes with heatsinks for them.

It does look like a nice board.

Thanks again!
