Hey everyone! I'm gearing up to build my first PC in the next month and I could really use some help. I'm trying to find a budget-friendly motherboard in the range of £140 to £180, but I'm a bit lost on which one to choose. Also, I'm debating whether to go with the LIAN Li 011 Vision compact case or the Corsair 4000D frame. Here's a list of the parts I'm considering. If you have any recommendations or advice, that would be awesome!
Budget: £1200-£1400
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 9600X - £179
- Cooler: Corsair NAUTILUS 360 RS ARGB - £95
- Motherboard: MSI MAG B850 TOMAHAWK MAX - £220
- Memory: Corsair Vengeance RGB 32 GB - £90
- Storage: Samsung 990 EVO Plus 2 TB - £113
- Graphics card: GeForce RTX 5070 - £500
- PSU: MSI MAG A850GL PCIE5 850 W - £95

For a cheaper motherboard, I recommend checking out the mid-tier ASUS TUF boards. They're reliable and won't break the bank. Plus, they usually come with solid performance for most builds.
I did some research on Wi-Fi options, and while Wi-Fi 6 is good, Wi-Fi 6E and 7 really improve speeds and performance, especially in crowded areas. If you're planning to use more devices or stream a lot, consider the upgrade!
