So ill be making a pc soon, and wanted an opinion between 2 motherboards:

msi tomahawk max b450

or

Gigabyte b450 aorus pro am4

 

the msi supports up to 4133 memory speed but i dont plan to upgarde my 3200 anytime soon, and the gigabyte supports 3200 OC and has a much better audio and i like to have good audio, the gigabyte also has m.2 padding and shields for cooling. What do you think? I also heard gigabytes bios is not great, im really torn on what to choose please help.

If you're picky about audio you should definitely get a dac

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad
