MSI MAG B560M MORTAR WIFI $160

Magnificent? Magnum? Magnetic? MSI hasn’t told us what

“MAG” stands for in its latest line of motherboards, but this is the board that we picked to house our plucky little chip.

Complete with a sleek aesthetic and plenty of connectivity, the B560M Mortar comes highly recommended, and packs in exactly what we need, including a PCIe 4.0 slot for our M.2 of choice, a ton of onboard connectivity, including WiFi 6E and a 2.5G LAN port, and lastly both an HDMI and DisplayPort to go with that integrated GPU. On top of that, we can pop a GPU (when they’re available) in the topmost PCIe slot and take advantage of that PCIe 4.0 x16 connectivity as well.

For a B series board at $160, this thing is rammed with future-proofed goodness. www.msi.com
