I have solid knowledge about MSI motherboards. The one I currently use is the MSI MAG B550M Mortar WiFi Gaming, which is a mid-range model priced around $220 CDN. It seems hard to locate this specific version anymore. After checking online, the MSI PRO B550M-VC WIFI appears to be a solid budget-friendly option for a MATX board. Just avoid overclocking it. https://www.amazon.ca/MSI-B550M-VC-ProSe...B0BDCZRBD6 For a $135 CDN model with built-in WiFi, it’s quite reasonable. I’d prefer a board that includes 2.5Gbps Ethernet, though that usually costs more. It’s interesting how easily WiFi-enabled boards are now available at lower prices than those with faster Ethernet.
