I’m updating my setup, it was a gaming prebuilt during the GPU shortage, so I got a 9400KF and a 2060Super for about $1500. Now I’m moving to an AMD Radeon RX 450 because I’m running a heckintel CPU (Apple fanboy) and work as a programmer on mobile apps, websites, and some AI projects. Downgrading my GPU just for better display output means I have a pretty average computer. Since the LGA1511 platform is outdated, I’m planning to go with an 13900K and 32GB DDR5 RAM. For the motherboard, I’m considering the B760 GAMING PLUS WIFI, but I’m curious—does it suit my needs? Do I need DDR5, LGA1700, two M.2 slots, a 2.5Gb network, and solid onboard audio for my small sound card? Is this choice solid or would there be better options?

It's fine as is, though realistically I'd prefer something upgraded for a 13900K. If you're interested in used parts, high-end Z690 boards usually cost very little (some sellers have them for around $160) and offer more features and better construction than mid-range B760 and Z790 boards at the same price.
