Asked By GamerGal42 On

Hey everyone! I'm building a visually appealing PC that can handle both productivity tasks and gaming, but I'm having a tough time choosing the right motherboard. The one I've selected seems useful for future memory and RAM upgrades but feels overpriced for a model without built-in WiFi. What motherboard would you recommend? I'm open to suggestions for other components too, as I'm planning to start buying parts next month! Here's my current part list: https://pt.pcpartpicker.com/list/ssY3Qd

I think you're looking at an overpriced option with that motherboard since it’s just a B650 and has no WiFi. I'd suggest the Asus TUF GAMING B850-PLUS WIFI instead; it's a better deal and comes with WiFi.

Also, consider a more affordable CPU cooler like the Thermalright Phantom Spirit which delivers better cooling performance for less money.

If you're focusing on productivity, a 5070 ti graphics card could be a good choice depending on your software needs and budget. And I recommend sticking to a standard-sized ATX case instead of a large, pricey one—put that extra cash towards the GPU!

Finally, if you can find the NZXT C850 power supply, it’s a solid option especially for the Nvidia GPU, and should be competitively priced too.

Thanks for the tips! I'll rethink the motherboard. I'm considering the Antec Flux instead of the Fractal Design case; it's cheaper and reportedly has better airflow. And I found the NZXT PSU for €130 on Amazon, but I’ve never used their products before. How reliable are they?
