Motherboard for i5-11400f?

I'm looking to upgrade my current build, and I've been researching and I hear that the b560 boards are pretty bad for this CPU, or that only certain versions of it is bad. Is there another type of MB that would fit better, or is b560 the way to go as long as you chose the right one? I don't want to overclock, but I dont want my CPU to run slower than its supposed to because of bad MB.

Thank you in advance, sorry if this is the wrong place to post, its my first time on this forum 馃檪

Heres my parts;聽https://pcpartpicker.com/list/sMVcQD

B560 boards aren't bad, they're just inconsistent. There are some that absolutely suck, like the ASUS Prime series, and there are some that are awesome, like the ASUS ROG Strix series. The B560M Bazooka is a great budget B560 board.

As for the rest of your parts list, you're overspending on some areas.

Better cooler for less money, faster cpu, cheaper storage while still maintaining good performance (that drive is currently on sale at newegg with a mail in rebate). and cheaper RAM

Thank you for the response! Unfortunately I'm kinda limited on part selections due to my region, but thank you for clearing up the MB thing 馃檪聽I'll look into your part recommendations though, thank you!
