Posted April 9, 2020 Hey, so I am considering moving my current system into a new pc and I would likely get a new motherboard and I am looking for advice/suggestions on which motherboard comes with the best features for the price. My network card is m.2 I believe is what the socket is called as well as an m.2 ssd so 2 of those slots would be needed I would also like space for at least 2 graphics cards Also 4 memory slots It is standard Intel lga 1151 socket i believe (i7 9700) Thank you for suggestions Link to comment https://linustechtips.com/topic/1175152-advice-requested/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted April 9, 2020 You have an i7-9700 based system now, and you want to replace it's motherboard. Right? Can you share more info about the motherboard you have now? And this m.2 network card, is it a WIFI card?

Posted April 9, 2020 M.2 slots for SSDs are keyed differently from M.2 slots for WIFI. But this board has both: MSI PRO Z390-A PRO LGA 1151 (300 Series) Intel Z390 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.1 ATX Intel Motherboard Newegg.ca has it on sale right now for $165 CAD.
