You've got the GPU. You've got the fast SSD. Now you need a board that doesn't bottleneck either of them and still leaves room for the second monitor, the capture card, and the headset in the USB port that actually works.
The Gigabyte B860M Gaming X WiFi6E handles all three. Four DDR5 DIMM slots up to 256 GB, so your game or render farm isn't swapping to disk at the worst moment. The primary PCIe slot runs 5.0 x16 — full lane count for your graphics card. A second PCIe 4.0 x4 slot sits below it for an NVMe drive or a secondary card.
USB4 Type-C on the back panel gives you 3840x2160@144 Hz video over one cable plus data at USB4 speeds. Add the DisplayPort 2.1 and HDMI 2.1, and you've got triple-display without hunting for adapters. Wi-Fi 6E AX211 keeps your online sessions stable. Realtek 2.5 GbE for when the download is 80 GB and you'd rather not wait.
Two M.2 slots (PCIe 5.0 and PCIe 4.0) plus four SATA ports. Six USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports and nine USB 2.0 connections for peripherals, dongles, and the USB-C charger that's always plugged in.
LGA1851 socket. Intel B860 chipset. XMP support up to DDR5-9200 (OC). Built so you install it once and forget it exists.
