Budget (including currency): £120-160

Country: United Kingdom

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Just gaming really 

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): I have a fair few peripherals so a good amount of usb slots would be great. I am looking at the Gigabyte Z590 GAMING X ATX but everywhere I go it is out of stock, it's kinda perfect for what I need as it has enough usb and on board wifi and a decent amount of storage expansion but was wonderinh about my other options

I currently have a i7-10700 and would be looking to upgrade that in the future into something more powerful so something with a decent upgrade path would be good

The VRM on B series motherboard on LGA1200 is decent enough in terms of upgrade path. How much USB devices do you wanna practically used at one time?
