I'm using my PC primarily for photo and video editing, as well as some gaming. Currently, my setup includes an Intel i7 14700 processor, 32GB of 6000 DDR5 RAM, and a 5060 GPU. I'm running into storage issues with my current SSD and I do have a spare NVMe SSD to add. However, my existing motherboard, the H610-G, only has one NVMe slot and it's proving to be quite limiting in terms of TDP, RAM, storage speeds, and ports. I'm looking for recommendations on a suitable motherboard that can resolve these issues, and I want to keep it under 240 CAD. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Check out the ASRock Z790 Pro RS WiFi motherboard. It has 4 M.2 slots, 7 USB ports, plus a Type-C connection, which should cover all your needs. It also features a 14 phase VRM setup that can handle the TDP of your CPU with ease.
If you're not ready to invest in a new motherboard yet, consider using an NVMe adapter. They can fit into the PCIe x1 slot on your current board and will give you some extra storage. Just keep in mind that it'll be slower, around 900MB/sec, but it's definitely quicker than SATA.
