Hello,
I am building my first PC and I am wondering which motherboard I should chose. Since I can't have wired ethernet connection, i am wondering if i should chose a motherboard with built-in Wi-Fi 6, or a standard one plus a PCIe Wi-Fi 6 Network Adapter. I am also wondering if it is worth paying more for ATX, or save ~20€ for micoATX.

Parts that I have already chosen:
  1. CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5700X
  2. CPU Cooler: Thermairight Assassin X 120 Refined SE
  3. Motherboard: Have not chosen yet. (was thinking
  4. Memory: Patriot Viper Elite II 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3600 CL20 Memory
  5. Storage: Lexar NM620 2 TB M.2-2280
  6. Video Card: Radeon RX 7700 XT 12 GB Video Card
  7. Case: Deepcool CH510
  8. Power Supply: Deepcool PF750 230V 750 W 80+

Motherboards I think could be good (since i am broke and on budget):

1. Boards with WiFi​

  • Gigabyte B550M Aorus Elite AX V2 (Micro ATX)
  • Asus PRIME B550M-A WIFI II (Micro ATX)

2. Boards without WiFi

  • Gigabyte A520 Aorus Elite (ATX)
  • ASRock B550 Phantom Gaming 4 (ATX)
  • + TP-Link Archer TX20E AX1800 or ASUS PCE-AX1800 - PCIe Wi-Fi 6 Network Adapter

Since I have AM4 I am not planning on upgrading anything. I will also not overclock it.
Since I will be delivering my component to Switzerland, I am searching for PC parts on toppreise.ch, idealo.de and amazon.de.


Thank you.
