Hello! You're planning to assemble a new setup soon and have been looking into motherboards. Since you're just starting out, things can feel a bit overwhelming about models and costs. You mentioned needing at least two 2.0 m² slots—two are already PCI-4, so you might want one or more dedicated slots for future upgrades. You're not aiming for overclocking, but having a solid "overclocking board" in mind is attractive because it opens possibilities later. Based on your research, the x570 seems like a good long-term choice with plenty of room for expansion. The Gigabyte Aorus x570 Master and MSI MEG x570 Unify are both solid options, while the MSI x570 Tomahawk offers decent value but only two slots. The MSI Unify is notably cheaper at around 70£, so it's worth considering if you're looking for budget-friendly performance. There are other great models out there, but with so many choices it can be tough to decide. Your priority is performance and longevity, so investing a bit more if it means fewer upgrades in the future could be wise. Thanks for reaching out—your question shows great interest!
