I had planned to get a msi z790 pro-a wifi ddr5 motherboard to go with a 13700kf and some high speed ram like 6400 or better. I ordered the cpu, hd and ram then went to buy the msi z790 pro mb. Well the mb was out of stock and cant find one after 3 weeks of looking. So I thought about a msi z690 carbon/force mb with ddr5 ram. Or a gigabyte z790 aorus elite ax mb.  So Im at a stand still on what mb to get. It would be great if you guys could help/suggest a motherboard.

 

parts I reusing-msi 6900xt, 360mm rad, and case.

The Force/Carbon are the better featured motherboards, the Z790 Elite has the better memory topology. If you want to stick to 6400MT/s and don't plan on overclocking it past there, the Force is probably the better option. If you want to go for high speed memory, the Z790 board is better, but at the same time if you're gonna be spending the ~$300+ on a higher than 6400MT/s kit you should probably spend the extra money on an 8 layer Z790 board or a 1DPC Z690 board like the Unify-X or Tachyon. 

 

I'd get the Force/Carbon.
