@Brushybill1 That's useful information! I see both motherboards have a good number of PCIe expansion slots too. Anything else worth mentioning?

@WartyWarthog, one last thing to consider is the form factor. The ASUS ROG Strix Z790-E Gaming WiFi 6E and MSI MAG B760 Tomahawk WiFi DDR4 Gaming Motherboard come in ATX form factors, which should fit most standard desktop cases without any issues.
