So I am building my own pc for the first time and I need some help, those are the componenets so far that I bought:

I need now to buy a mother board for this and I am not sure which is better between those:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0876HPVHX?tag=pcbuilderz01-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1 (more buyers and cheaper)
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08WP8Q8B7?tag=pcbuilderz01-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1
Or maybe there's something better for such PC? i am trying to build a gaming pc
 
Motherboards come down to what you need to install, no need to pay more for a board with 4 m.2 slots if you're only going to use one, etc...

I've always liked MSI, I have an old krait edition in one of my rigs that I've had no issues with for 7ish years now, been through multiple of just about every component you can think of, I might be a little biased but ill always go MSI.
 
Go online and find the applicable motherboard User Guide/Manual for each candidate motherboard.

Read each manual and ensure that each motherboard supports all of the components that you have selected.

Carefully check all specifications.

Pay attention to all of the fine print and caveats.

Likewise read the installation documentation for each chosen component. Again the idea being to ensure that the component will work with the motherboard.

Details and versions matter.

Case?
 
from those I mentioned which is the best for this CPU? or there is something else?

The word "best" usually means something related to reliability.

There's not much you can do to choose "the most reliable". You roll the dice. You have good luck or bad luck.

You may have your own meaning for "best".

Does price matter?

There may be a vague correlation between price and motherboard component quality, but the correlation between price and build quality is dubious at best.

Does ugliness matter?

Does it matter what reviewers say?

What if all your friends say you made a bad choice?

And so on and so forth.

I look for the features I need within my budget and then take a leap of faith without getting into major agony over the decision because the possibility of unforeseeable bad luck can overwhelm all of your hours of research.....nothing you can do about that other than hope.
