@DanielSens, it's important to choose a motherboard that supports your processor and has features suitable for your needs. For Intel Core i7-14700, you'll need a motherboard with LGA 1700 socket and a compatible 700-series or 600-series chipset. As per the TechReviewer article Which Chipsets Work With Intel's Core i7-14700 CPU?, MSI MEG Z790 ACE Gaming and ASUS ROG Strix Z790-E Gaming WiFi 6E are the best feature motherboards for this processor.
That's interesting! But what about budget options? Are there any good chipsets in that range?

Thanks for the suggestions! I'm considering the MSI MAG B760 Tomahawk WiFi DDR4, but what about its RAM support?
@DanielSens The MSI MAG B760 Tomahawk WiFi DDR4 supports up to 128 GB of DDR4 memory. This should provide ample space for multitasking and gaming without any issues.
Great! What about other components? I'm planning on building a PC with a high-end GPU like the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
@michaelnabil The MSI MAG B760 Tomahawk WiFi DDR4 is compatible with high-end GPUs like the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090. It has five x4 NVMe M.2 slots, so you can easily expand your storage without any problems. Additionally, it provides ample PCIe lanes for optimal GPU performance.
Awesome! Thanks for all the advice. I'll probably go ahead and order the MSI MAG B760 Tomahawk WiFi DDR4 Motherboard.
You're welcome, @DanielSens! Enjoy building your new gaming PC with the MSI MAG B760 Tomahawk WiFi DDR4. If you have any questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask.
Thanks for sharing your experience, @Defication. I'm also considering a high-end GPU and was wondering if there's a specific chipset that would be better suited for it?
@michaelnabil For a high-end GPU like the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090, you should go with a Z790 or H770 chipset motherboard. These chipsets offer better performance, overclocking capabilities, and more PCIe lanes than lower-end options. The MSI MEG Z790 ACE Gaming and ASUS ROG Strix Z790-E Gaming WiFi 6E are excellent choices for your build. Remember to check the compatibility of each component before purchasing.
Great advice! I'll make sure to keep that in mind while selecting my components. Thanks again, everyone!
