If you spot a MSI MPG z790 EDGE WiFi, check its cost and think carefully about committing. MATX boards often lack top-quality VRMs, which is typical for lower and mid-range models. Given your plan to upgrade to an i7 and possibly an i9 later, I recommend investing in a more durable motherboard. MSI may have some issues, but VRM performance isn’t one of them.
