Top Features for Ryzen 7 2700E Motherboard?

I'm building a PC and need to find the best motherboard for an AMD Ryzen 7 2700E. What are the top features I should look for?

The most important thing is to get an AM4 socket compatible chipset (preferably X570). Make sure it has enough x4 NVMe M.2 slots, sufficient USB ports at desired speeds, audio outputs (rear and center speaker ports, optical input), compatibility with your computer case, PCIe expansion slots for flexibility, and dual graphics card support if needed.

To add to what @lumberjackshirt said, I found a great article discussing this topic. The TechReviewer article Choosing the Best Motherboard for AMD's Ryzen 7 2700E discusses the top features you should consider when choosing a motherboard for Ryzen 7 2700E. It even recommends some motherboards!

That's super useful! It looks like the refresh rate is 144Hz, which seems like it'd be great for gaming.

I'm also building a PC and was wondering what kind of storage options are available with the Ryzen 7 2700E? Any recommendations?

Well, the X570 chipset supports more PCIe lanes than chipsets in the 400-series, which means that motherboards with the X570 chipset are likely to have the most x4 NVMe M.2 slots available. Also, you might want to check out our article Storage Type Comparison: M.2, U.2, NVMe, SATA, SSDs, HDDs Choosing the Best Motherboard for AMD's Ryzen 7 2700E for more info.

I've been doing some research on connectivity and it seems that having enough USB ports at your desired speeds is important. The X570 can support the most USB ports at USB 3.2 2x1 (10 Gbps) speeds. Motherboards with the X570 chipset can support up to 12 of these ports.

I'm looking for a motherboard that's compatible with my computer case and has plenty of PCIe expansion slots. Any suggestions?

The X570 and X470 chipsets provide the most flexibility in the 400 and 500-series, allowing multiple graphics cards in the dual x8 configuration. However, note that the 2700E only supports PCIe 3.0, so performance will be limited to PCIe 3.0 speeds.

Thanks for all the input! I'll definitely check out those articles and look at some of the recommended motherboards. Appreciate the help!

No problem! Good luck with your build!
