Solution

I've been using an ASUS ROG Strix Z790-E Gaming WiFi 6E with my i9-13900KF, and it's been working great! Highly recommended.

I recently got a MSI MAG B760 Tomahawk WiFi DDR4 Gaming Motherboard for my setup. It's a solid option if you're on a budget and don't need the latest DDR5 memory.

Thanks @Detour7miles and @DomanoSV. That ASUS motherboard sounds impressive, but I'm still considering the MSI B760 Tomahawk as it's more budget-friendly. What about the connectivity options? Does it have enough USB ports for my needs?

Yes @huntressd, the MSI MAG B760 Tomahawk WiFi DDR4 Gaming Motherboard has plenty of USB ports, including several USB 3.2 Gen 2 and USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports. It should provide more than enough connectivity options for most users.

Great to know! What about memory overclocking support? I'm interested in pushing the performance a bit further if possible.

The MSI MAG B760 Tomahawk WiFi DDR4 Gaming Motherboard does not natively support DDR5 memory, but it can handle DDR4 memory overclocking. However, if you're looking for DDR5 compatibility, you might want to consider other options like the ASUS ROG Strix Z790-E Gaming WiFi 6E.

Thanks for all the input, guys! I'll definitely check out those links and do some more research before making a decision. Keep me posted on any other recommendations!
