If you’re looking to get one of AMD’s new Ryzen 7000 CPUs and want to maximize it, you may also want a premium motherboard.
The MSI MEG X670E Ace motherboard offers solid performance and attractive aesthetics. While it markets itself to gamers, it really comes with the feature set for content creators more than anything. Plenty of I/O and M.2 slots give it great options for connectivity and storage. It’s a bit pricey and it unfortunately lacks USB4, but overall there is a lot to like here.
Good set of features for a hybrid gamer/content creator; Huge M.2 support with up to 6 slots including PCIE Gen 5 Add-in card; Plenty of USB ports, and 10Gbe Lan; Beautiful black and gold aesthetics, Integrated I/O shield, screw-less M.2;
$699 MSRP makes for higher platform costs while not being a flagship; No USB 4; Some unnecessary features for pure gamers that add to the price;
