I'm not very experienced with motherboards, but I'm considering the ASROCK H810M-H to pair with an Intel Ultra 7 265K. My concern is whether this motherboard will limit the CPU's performance, especially since I'll primarily use my PC for non-gaming and digital content creation (DCC). Is the H810M-H a good match, or should I definitely go for the ASROCK B860 PRO RS or an ASUS equivalent instead? My budget is tight, so I'm trying to keep costs low. Alternatively, would it be wiser to opt for the 245K instead if I stick with the H810M-H? My full setup includes an ASUS Dual 5060 Ti, 16GB of RAM, and I'll be using either the 265K or 245K with a dual tower air cooler.

If you can swing a B860 motherboard for your non-K CPU, that's the way to go. Even if you choose a K version, it's better to have at least a budget-friendly Z motherboard for overclocking capacity. But honestly, the B860 won't hurt your performance—your CPU will boost just fine without any overclocking.
Thanks for the advice! I'm opting for the K version mainly because the non-K is out of stock.
