Hi, I need some market advice on new motherboards.
I've just blown my motherboard so I will need a new one with a modern processor to suit and RAM. I have to keep the price down but no budget limits.
I have an RX590 card and HDDs, but I need advice on motherboards.
I will go for AMD this time for the CPU and will get a budget Ryzen 5, but would like a motherboard which can accommodate 3rd gen so that I can upgrade to a 7 or even 9 in a few years.
I would like onboard wifi but can't see any.
I also think that it would have to be ATX and not M-ATX.
I will need to get new RAM as I only have old DDR3 1333 but will probably have to stick with the budget-est DDR4
I'd like it to have at least 6 SATA connectors for drives, and if there are no on-board wifi versions it will need a PCIe slot which doesn't interfere with the graphics card (which came as a shock when I bought the RX).
I probably won't be overclocking, and will probably stick with the stock cooler which comes with the CPU so won't do any watercooling yet, but keeping it in mind for later.
I'd appreciate advice on any suitable boards out there.
Thanks
Al.
