Looking to do a PC upgrade and will be changing from an Intel i5 chip to an AMD chip that will be TBD.
This will require a new motherboard so I’m looking for suggestions. Anyone an expert in this field? I’ll need slots for 32gigs of RAM but other than that, I can’t remember what I need to make sure I get in a MB. I built this PC 8 years ago
Depends on your price range and what you're looking to be able to accomplish with this rig.
Even if your usage case isn't gaming, you'll probably get more replies on the Gaming board. But regardless, happy to help out here.

My CPU went out 2 weeks ago so I upgraded to an AMD 5900X and a new GPU 6700XT. I don't know how dated your current setup is but the M.2 slots for hard drives are great but most new motherboards will have that I presume.
AMD is moving to the AM5 chipset instead of AM4 so that may be something to think about. More future proof I suppose if that is a huge concern.
