I'm having a tough time understanding motherboards, especially with all the different ports and features. I have a 7600x processor and I'm considering the Asus B650E MAX GAMING WIFI motherboard since I'm aiming for a white build (though that's not a dealbreaker). I want a motherboard that includes both Ethernet and WiFi, but I'm really confused about what integrated WiFi actually means. I'll be using the PC mainly for gaming and I'm not planning on using many ports on the rear panel, which makes my decision even harder. I'd appreciate any recommendations or insights!

I just got a Gigabyte B850M AORUS ELITE WIFI6E and am really loving it. It's great for gaming and looks awesome!
Integrated WiFi means your motherboard can connect to WiFi networks without needing a separate adapter. The Asus B650E MAX GAMING WIFI you picked is a solid choice; it has both Ethernet and WiFi. Don't stress too much—it's a good board!
Thank you so, so much! Everyone has said so many different things, and it's hard to figure out what's best for me.
Integrated WiFi means it has a built-in WiFi chip, making it easier to connect without needing extra hardware.
Thank you!! :)))
You're right; most motherboards come with an Ethernet port. Since yours has 'WIFI' in the name, it's guaranteed to have WiFi. You can check out the specifications online or use sites like pcpartpicker.com to filter boards with WiFi, but yours already meets your needs!
Ok perfect! I didn't know if it had to have something specific in the title for Ethernet to be included.
I was looking at that one and I think it matches my aesthetic so well too! I had that one chosen before, so I'll check it out a little closer!!
