I'm in the process of building a new PC and I'm looking for recommendations on a motherboard that meets specific criteria. Here's what I need:
- Form Factor: ATX (I'm using a Lian Li O11 Vision Compact case)
- Memory: DDR4 support with the capability to handle 64 GB of RAM
- CPU Compatibility: Must work with Intel's 13th generation processors. I'm starting with an i5 now, but I may upgrade to an i7 or i9 in the future.
- Connectivity: Wi-Fi 6 or 6E is a must, as I need good wireless support.
- USB Ports: I prefer motherboards that offer 6 or more USB ports.
- Ethernet: At least 1 Gb Ethernet; 2.5 Gb would be a nice bonus.
- M.2 Slots: I need at least one M.2 slot for a Gen 4 SSD, but I would prefer two for future upgrades.
I'm not planning to overclock and my build will include a mid to high-end GPU. I'm based in Norway and my budget is around 4000 NOK (approximately 400 USD), but I can stretch it if necessary. If I've left anything out or you need more details, just let me know!

Check out the MSI PRO B760-P WiFi DDR4. It’s ATX, supports Intel 13th gen CPUs, and includes Wi-Fi 6 and multiple USB ports. Plus, it should fit well in your budget.
I found a Gigabyte B760 Gaming motherboard that looks promising. It's an ATX and seems to have all the features you're looking for, although the site isn’t super well-known. Still, it’s worth a look!
Thanks for the tip! Let me know how yours works out if you decide to go for it!
Finding a decent ATX motherboard for 64GB of RAM within your budget is definitely a challenge these days! Just to clarify, are you set on DDR4, or would you consider DDR5 if the price was right?
I'm sticking with DDR4 for now. I've already invested in DDR4 RAM and want to keep things compatible.
That sounds solid! I’ve heard good things about MSI motherboards.
