Hey guys! I’m building an Intel-based PC for the first time. I’m struggling to choose a motherboard. Do I really need to go with a $150-200 motherboard? Can I get away with this one with out affecting performance? I’m not doing anything crazy. The CPU was a gift, so I’m building around it. I have built PCs in the past, but with Ryzen. I kinda feel the motherboard options are better with Ryzen. Thanks in advance!

    You can find used or open-box MSI Z690-A PROs for $100-$150. I run the DDR5 Wifi variant with a 13700K and it’s been great.
