I have just pre-ordered an i9 11900K.
I want to make sure I get a motherboard that will have enough PCIe slots and at the right speeds. The board also needs to have at least 8 USB ports. 4 of those USB ports need to be USB 3.
Can somebody please recommend an Asus or Gigabyte Z590 motherboard for about £300 ($415) - £400 ($556).
This is going to be my build.
CPU - i9-11900K
Sound card – Asus Essence STX II 7.1 (this sound card has a motherboard and daughterboard and needs 2 PCIe slots)
Graphics card - RTX 3080
SSD - PCIe 4.0 NVMe - WD Black SN850 2TB M.2
Memory - Crucial Ballistix MAX 2 x 16GB 4000MHz.
