The items are priced around $30 each. These include the ASUS Prime Z790-P, WiFi Gigabyte Z790 UD AX, MSI MAG Z790 Tomahawk, and a CPU with an i7 13700K, 32GB DDR5 RAM at 6000MHz, plus a GPU offering 3070 or 3070 Ti.

I’d likely pick the Tomahawk because it offers top-tier build quality, ample rear I/O, better audio, and an extra M.2 port. The UD and Prime models provide more PCIe capacity, which benefits heavy card usage, though the UD’s layout is more logical for modern GPUs. The Z690 option isn’t appealing unless you’re only using a GPU and skipping other expansions.

On IBUYPOWER's site, nearly all ASRock models exceed the price of the Z790 boards I'm considering. The Z690 boards appear to have very few heat sinks.

I purchase exclusively from ASUS. I’d consider just a few other brands, but none else on the list.
