motherboard questions about motherboards

[zane4560]

hey again,

was wondering about some things related to motherboards and wonder if someone can answer these questions

1. is it worth paying extra for a motherboard with built-in wifi or should I just get a wireless network adaptor

2. does anyone know good motherboards for ryzen 5 cpus

3. is it worth getting a motherboard with 4 RAM slots if I want to go from 16gb to 32 gb

 

here is my upcoming build for reference:

1. Depends what motherboard and wifi adapter it has

 

2.Tomahawk MAX

 

3. If you're just gaming and doing some little productivity work, you'll probably never need to surpass 16. At least in the current climate.

The normal tomahawk may, the Tomahawk MAX will not- its better optimized for the 3000 chips.
