Any of these will be good for your use case. I'd personally get the b650 gaming plus wifi as it looks better than the rest IMO and has got 2.5gb and wifi 6e

it should be around $169

1 is decent, 2 is a pass, 3 and 4 are good,

 

there's several choices for MB in US, and I believe if the MSI is still discounted on their website with free shipping it's quite a bargain,

this one:

Motherboard: MSI PRO B650-S WIFI ATX AM5 Motherboard  ($139.99 @ MSI)

 

and you have several choices, all of them, including the one above are good enough to drive 7900x or faster, it's your choice what features of the MB you need:

 

Motherboard: MSI PRO B650-P WIFI ATX AM5 Motherboard  ($165.99 @ Amazon)

Motherboard: MSI B650 GAMING PLUS WIFI ATX AM5 Motherboard  ($169.99 @ MSI)

Motherboard: Gigabyte B650 EAGLE AX ATX AM5 Motherboard  ($169.99 @ Amazon)

Motherboard: ASRock B650M-HDV/M.2 Micro ATX AM5 Motherboard  ($150.62 @ Amazon)

 

 

Whatever it is here, you can't miss for a good AM5 system.

They'll all do the same thing performance wise. Choice is up to you on features, I/O and looks.

do you think the 1th mobo would be good enough to maintain, i may pair  Intel Arc A750 Photon 8G very soon. if it's not then i'll go for the MSI B650 GAMING PLUS WIFI.

Best out of these is the b650 gaming plus wifi. For an matx build get the b650m-a wifi and if you need to save a bit of money on the mobo then get the b650-s wifi but the b650 gaming plus wifi does look a bit better and costs only a bit more

i'm a bit confused, just strongly suggest me from any of 1th or 4th ones, i'll pick them. 

in terms of performance they're all very similar. Some have more features, some are smaller for other form factors

to make it super simple, all motherboards mentioned will handle much more powerful CPU than you have, so you can choose whichever you like,

 

I personally would choose the first one I suggested because it's cheapest 140$ with free shipping apparently,

 

but the choice is yours, all will do good job, if you are just worried about running the CPU and no other features.

thanks, I think i got the answer.

wait!! what do you mean '2 is a pass'? wouldn't be a good board for the system?

All the MSI boards have significantly better VRMs on their list, the Gigabyte has bit worse and also only 8pin CPU power,

 

there's nothing wrong with weaker VRMs or only 8pin power, it could even get hungrier CPUS.

 

The problem is if any future AMD CPUs become more power hungry it might matter or make slightly more difference.

 

Basically I said it's a pass because it's the worst out of 4 in comparison, and also because there's cheaper option that's better.

i get it now. thanks bro!
