MSI PRO B760M-A WIFI DDR5 Motherboard

The MSI PRO B760M-A WIFI DDR5 is a Micro-ATX motherboard for Intel's LGA1700 socket, and a sensible foundation for a mid-range Intel build. It covers the ground most desktops actually need, with wireless networking and fast storage built in rather than added later. The Intel B760 chipset pairs with 4 DDR5 memory slots taking up to 192 GB and 2 M.2 slots for NVMe drives, so a fast boot drive and a large second drive both go on the board with no cables. Networking runs to 2.5 GbE wired alongside Wi-Fi 6E, giving a choice between a cable when one is available and wireless when it is not. Power delivery is sized for a Core i5 class processor, which keeps a mid-range build stable under sustained load rather than throttling once a long render or a long session gets going. Micro-ATX keeps the board compact enough for a small case while retaining the expansion and memory capacity of a larger one, so it fits a desk where floor space is scarce. Wi-Fi 6E on board matters in a flat where running Ethernet across rooms is not practical, and 2.5 GbE is there for the day a faster wired connection arrives. MSI covers it with a 3 year warranty.
