Another good option could be the MSI MPG Z390 Gaming Edge WiFi. It has plenty of features like M.2 slots, USB 3.2 Gen2 ports, and Wi-Fi capabilities.

Sure! So, first of all, make sure your motherboard has an LGA 1151 socket and a compatible 300-series chipset for your Core i9-9900 CPU. You can check out this TechReviewer article Choosing the Best Motherboard for Intel's Core i9-9900 for more details on what to look for.

That's right! Also, consider other factors like memory overclocking support, video output ports, storage options (M.2 slots and SATA ports), USB connectivity, audio outputs, and the form factor of the motherboard. These will all play a role in your overall system performance and user experience.

Thanks for the advice! I didn't realize there were so many factors to consider when choosing a motherboard. Does anyone have any recommendations for specific brands or models?

Based on what you've mentioned, I'd recommend looking into motherboards with Intel's 300-series chipsets like Z390, Z370, H370, B365, B360, and H310. These should be compatible with your Core i9-9900 CPU. For example, the ASUS TUF Gaming Z390-Plus is a solid choice if you want to overclock your RAM.
