I'm putting together my first PC and I've chosen the Radeon RX 9060 XT 8GB Steel Wing OC (white) for the graphics card. I'm currently looking at using the Ryzen 5 9600X processor, but I might switch it later. I've narrowed my choices for a motherboard down to four ATX options:
1. Gigabyte B850 Eagle WiFi 6E ($190)
2. MSI Pro B850-P WiFi ($200)
3. MSI Pro B650-S WiFi ($140)
4. MSI Pro B840-P WiFi ($200)
I'm trying to decide which one would be the best fit, especially considering features like USB ports and VRM cooling. Any insights would be greatly appreciated!

I'd recommend looking at the B850 boards since they generally have better USB support and VRM cooling. The Gigabyte B850 Eagle is particularly good for that with its 'VRAM Thermal Guard Advanced' feature, which might make a difference in performance.
I think I figured it out! Just checking the specs on the manufacturer's site should help.
How do you check for that stuff? I’m not too familiar with motherboard specs.
