My current computer is getting old, and the motherboard is starting to have issues, so its time to build a new one. I haven't really kept up with tech in the last 7 years since the last build and needed some help identifying a good, reasonably priced (would prefer $500 or less range - can do a bit more, but not a ton) AM5 socket motherboard. I just picked up an AMD ryzen 9 7950x and 32GB of DDR5 memory. I'm probably going to get an RTX3060 Ti GPU. From what I've seen on benchmarks and the type of use it will get with me, I think its probably the sweet spot for price v performance for me at the moment. I went with AMD so I can take advantage of the PCIe channels. I want to run my GPU a tthe full x16 and still have 2 NVMe M.2 SDDs. I need at least 4 SATA connectors and am seriously thinking about getting a board with wifi built in, but not sure if its worth it.
I haven't found a ton of reviews yet for the AM5 boards. I've got no clue what manufacturers are still good or not. Recommendations or links to info about the pros and cons would be greatly appreciated!
