I'm on the hunt for a motherboard that pairs well with the Ryzen 7 7700. Ideally, it should come with WiFi and be budget-friendly. I've got a few options in mind:
- MSI B650M GAMING PLUS WIFI
- MSI PRO B650M-A WIFI
- Asus TUF GAMING B650M-E WIFI
- ASRock B850M PRO-A WIFI
- Gigabyte B650M GAMING PLUS WIFI
Can anyone help me decide which one of these would be the best fit?

Just a heads-up, there’s no Ryzen 5 7700; you might be referring to the Ryzen 7 7700. Or could it be the Ryzen 5 7600? Just wanted to clarify that for you!
If you’re using an ATX case, keep in mind that a mATX motherboard could look a bit out of place. I’d steer clear of the ASRock board if you think you might upgrade to an x3d later on. Also, check out this video for some insights: https://youtu.be/pUUVW7wgR3s?si=Iy8oDaXbDPj9-I4L. The B850 boards tend to be pricier, though.
The motherboards I mentioned usually run between $150-170. I'm not planning to switch this CPU anytime soon; I’ve been using my i5 from the 4th gen for a decade!
You’re right! I meant the Ryzen 7 7700; thanks for catching that!
