I was expecting an MSI Z790 Pro A Wi-Fi DDR5 board paired with a 13700KF and fast RAM such as 6400 or higher. I purchased the CPU, hard drive, and RAM before heading to buy the MSI Z790 Pro MB. Unfortunately, the MB was out of stock and I couldn't locate one after three weeks of searching. I considered alternatives like an MSI Z690 Carbon/Force MB with DDR5 or a Gigabyte Z790 Aorus Elite AX MB. I'm stuck deciding which board to choose. It would be helpful if anyone could recommend a suitable motherboard or suggest compatible parts. I'm using the MSI 6900XT, 360mm RAD, and my current case.

The Force and Carbon stand out as top choices, with the Z790 Elite offering superior memory design. For a stable 6400MT/s without overclocking, the Force is likely the optimal pick. If you prioritize rapid memory speeds, the Z790 shines, but for higher-end builds exceeding $300 on a faster setup, consider an 8-layer Z790 or a 1DPC Z690 like Unify-X or Tachyon. I recommend the Force/Carbon.
