Small case, big build. You don't need a full ATX board to run a Ryzen 9000 at full speed, and you definitely don't need to compromise on audio or wireless. The B850M A ELT WF6E packs a 2.5GbE port, Realtek Wi-Fi 6E with Bluetooth 5.3, and 7.1-channel audio into a 24.4 x 24.4 cm Micro-ATX footprint. DDR5 slots go up to 8200 MT/s with EXPO support, so your memory isn't the bottleneck. One PCIe 5.0 x16 slot for your GPU or an NVMe SSD, plus a second x16 running at x4 for a capture card or extra storage. Two M.2 slots and four SATA ports cover every drive you'll realistically need in a compact build. Windows 11 ready out of the box
