You're considering a Ryzen build on the NZXT H1 with specific needs. The ASUS ROG Strix B550-I AM4 Mini-ITX fits your criteria of WiFi 6, two M.2 slots, and a USB 3.2 Gen 2 header. It also includes a USB C port, which you wanted. This board seems suitable for your requirements, though you may need to check compatibility with your other components. If you prefer USB 3.2 Gen 2, it’s a viable option despite the trade-off.

It refers to the processor in question.

Evaluating three processors: Ryzen 7 3700X, Ryzen 9 3900X, and Ryzen 9 3950X.

The B550 has fewer PCIe4 lanes compared to other boards, but an X570 would be a better fit because it allows you to reserve lanes for the front USB-C connection upfront.

For the initial x16 and 1 m.2, I’d consider a $200$ board for a 3900x or 3950x setup.

The first m.2 and the x16 port (essentially all CPU lanes) operate at 4.0 volts.

I think I'll likely choose one of the two options. It's mainly for streaming, recording, editing videos, and especially for music production which needs a lot of processing power.

It works well with this setup. If it supports a 3900x, it should easily manage a 3950x because the power usage between the components stays fairly consistent.

This applies to the X570 as well; it likely needs a full 10Gbps C-type connection at the front, plus M.2 storage and WiFi 6 support that also uses PCIe lanes.
