MSI B760 Gaming Plus WiFi (DDR5)

The B760 Gaming Plus WiFi is a beginner-tier LGA1700 ATX board on the B760 chipset with DDR5 and two M.2 slots, serving as a budget Intel base for 12th-14th gen chips. It pairs well with value CPUs like the 14600K or 12400F. The real caveat is longevity: LGA1700 is end-of-line, so there's no upgrade path to Core Ultra parts, which require LGA1851.

Upgrade path

Buying today, the Gigabyte B760M DS3H AX (mATX, DDR5) scores higher for less — the smarter pick in motherboards unless you specifically want this one. See it →
