Hi everyone! I just upgraded to a 10G internet connection and I'm looking for recommendations on a motherboard that supports this speed. Ideally, I'd like to avoid PCIe expansion cards if possible, so I'm focusing on boards that come with built-in 10G capabilities. My budget is around $300. I'm also planning to pair it with a Ryzen 9 9800X3D. Any suggestions?

Most higher-end options start at around $350. You can use PCPartPicker to check your choices. It will help you stay within your budget and find what's available.
If you're looking for high-end boards, most of the X870E series will have 10G capabilities, but they can get pricey. Keep in mind that many only offer 2.5G or 5G. Since you're going with the 9800X3D, I'd advise avoiding AsRock boards.
What CPU are you planning to use? Are you open to upgrading your CPU along with the motherboard?
You might want to check out any B650 motherboards. They should be able to handle 10G connections without a hitch!
Wow, I didn’t realize they were all capable of 10G. I’ve been out of the loop!
I found this GIGABYTE board on Amazon; it's one of the cheapest options with built-in 10G support. Check it out!
This looks like a solid option! Thanks for the find.
I'm actually planning to upgrade to the 9800X3D.
