You need an AM5 board that handles DDR5 properly, gives you three M.2 slots for storage headroom, and still fits a compact case. You don't need the flagship price tag to do it.
The B650EM FORCE WF6E is a Micro-ATX board on the AMD B650 chipset. Four DDR5 DIMM slots take you up to 192 GB (48 GB per stick) with speeds listed up to 7600 MT/s OC. EXPO and XMP both supported, so your kit runs at spec. The primary PCIe x16 slot runs at PCIe 4.0 on Ryzen 7000 chips. Three M.2 connectors mean you can layer NVMe storage without giving up SATA drives.
HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4 handle your monitor output off integrated graphics. Four USB 3.2 ports on the back keep your peripherals fed.
