Hey everyone! I'm putting together my very first PC build, and honestly, it's a bit overwhelming (I'm new to all of this 😅). I need some advice on which motherboard to choose for my MSI RTX 4090. I've heard some stories about motherboards with built-in Wi-Fi causing issues with storage space, like one guy who ended up needing to replace his whole motherboard. Can anyone explain why that happens? Also, are motherboards with Wi-Fi generally considered bad? I just want to make sure I pick the best motherboard for the RTX 4090 and know what to avoid. Thanks a ton!

The RTX 4090 will work perfectly fine with any motherboard that supports PCIe 4.0 x16, which is pretty much all modern motherboards. When picking a motherboard, focus on selecting a CPU first, then choose a motherboard that fits that CPU and has the features you're looking for.

I’m planning to go with the 9800x3D and am eyeing the B850 Tomahawk Max Wi-Fi. My only worry is about the storage issues you mentioned. How does that work? I want to understand it so I can troubleshoot if needed.
