So, my gaming rigs for the longest time gave been optiplexes w/ GPU upgrades. But I've had a sleeper case I've wanted to work on for a while now & have decided to make a rig exclusively as an entertainment rig. That being said, there are some atypical requirements I have for this project & I was hoping someone could give me some pointers on what features to look for.

- due to the case's specs, I know the board needs to be micro ATX. I'm leaning towards AMD Ryzen 5 8600G, but I'm not married to it.

- I still watch physical media, & intend on installing a 5.25" Slim Slot Load optical. As this is a slim, it will also have an adapter for a full 5.25" bay that has 4 USB 3.0 ports

- I'm making an adapter so my Vive link box will be in the 3.5" floppy bay, & want that connected internally-ish

- I want IR, probably thru a dongle that's inside the case, for remote control

- storage isn't a big deal as most media I keep on a media server. I'm probably sticking to a 1Tb M.2 for system stuff

- GPU & Ethernet in the PCI

- onboard WiFi & Bluetooth would be awesome

 

Does anyone have a board they'd recommend?
