I want to know if the ASUS Z790 TUF motherboard will support a graphics card upgrade to either the 5080 or 5090. If you have suggestions for upgrades, I'd love to hear your thoughts on whether I might need a better motherboard and why that would be the case.

Yes, the ASUS Z790 TUF will work perfectly with either the 5080 or 5090 graphics card. You're all set!
You shouldn't need an upgrade unless you plan on switching to a different CPU model that isn't 13th or 14th gen Intel. If you're staying with Intel for now, it's fine as is. Upgrading to AM5 could be more of a side-grade rather than a true upgrade depending on your CPU choice.
Using a 14th gen right now, was hoping to hold off on upgrading the mobo until the 16th gen comes out in 2026, but I'm not super clear on the benefits of more expensive motherboards past the $300 mark.
Sick, thanks!
