So I’ve got all my parts for my PC build and need some advice on the last part. Bought a 5600x cpu and 6700xt gpu. Any suggestions on motherboard? There are so many choices it’s a little overwhelming

In my opinion, picking a motherboard is easily the most overwhelming part of planning a build.

I would start with a video like this and go from there: LINK

If you have any specific wants or needs, just post them and we can see if we can work through things.

I guess you have to ask yourself, what do you want your motherboard to have?

- built-in WiFi/BT?
- great built-in audio?
- a ton of USB ports?
- superior VRMs for overclocking?
- active/passing chipset cooling?

I have a 5600x, and honestly, the cheapest B550 board will work just fine with it if you are running at stock settings.
