I'm looking for a white motherboard for my PC build. I primarily use ethernet and need back I/O for headphones and a mic, along with five USB ports for sim racing. I came across the Gigabyte x870 and Asus x870, but I'm open to spending a bit more for an x870 board that offers more features. My current setup includes an AMD 9850X3D CPU, 32GB of 6000 CL30 RAM, a 5080 GPU, and two SSDs (one M.2 SN770 and planning to get another M.2 soon).

Here's a link to a list of mostly white x870 motherboards on PCPartPicker. You can check it out [here](https://pcpartpicker.com/products/motherboard/#R=5&s=41&f=2&c=166&mt=ddr5&Y=6200082,8200000,8200035,8200062). Have fun choosing!
I generally like Gigabyte boards, but I wouldn't recommend the one you linked if you're planning to use three M.2 SSDs. That third M.2 slot shares bandwidth with the PCIe x16, which is a bit frustrating for a $200 board. In contrast, the Strix doesn't seem to share bandwidth in the same way, so I'd suggest going for that one.
