You've picked an Intel Core Ultra Series 2 chip and you need a board that fits the case you already have without a full ATX tower. The MSI B860M GAMING PLUS WIFI is mATX — 243.84mm square — so it drops into compact builds, small-office workstations, or that desktop under the desk that's been holding things together with thermal paste and hope.
Four PCIe x16 slots give you room for your GPU plus a capture card or secondary storage adapter. Three M.2 slots and four SATA 6G ports cover your drive layout without daisy-chaining. DDR5 up to 256GB across four DIMMs.
Onboard video: HDMI 2.1 at 4K 60Hz, DisplayPort 1.4 at 4K 60Hz, and a Type-C DisplayPort output — so you can drive three displays from the integrated graphics if you need to.
Intel Killer BE1750x Wi-Fi 7 handles the wireless side without a separate adapter. Windows 11 64-bit.
