Pros

  • https://pcpartpicker.com/product/n3cgXL/gigabyte-x870-gaming-wifi6-atx-am5-motherboard-x870-gaming-wifi6 is on sale for $146, which is very nice for an X870 board. 3xM.2, 2.5gbe, wifi6, pcie5
  • For the X870 motherboard, the second runs at PCIe 4.0 x4, but is disabled if the M2D_SB slot is used, and the last slot runs at PCIe 3.0 x2.
  • If I ever wanna upgrade the system in let's say 5 years, Gigabyte X870 will allow more headroom in my mind.
  • gigabyte x870 would be my choice.

Cons

  • MB: Gigabyte X870 (Bios is current. Upgraded trying to fix this issue)
  • I love gigabyte but I do not recommend the one you have linked if you're going to use 3 m.2 ssds. The 3rd m.2 slot shares bandwidth with the pciex16 The M2B CPU and M2C CPU connectors share bandwidth with the PCIEX16 slot. Kinda silly...
