Well, it really depends on the components you're aiming for, since boards work differently across platforms. Are you looking for built-in Wi-Fi or an external card? Do you prefer integrated graphics or a more affordable, dedicated chipset? And what size enclosure are you planning to use for the device?

Usually the most affordable option, though this can change based on how "non-gaming" is defined

My most recent build was over a decade ago, and I’m not familiar with all the latest advancements.

You might want a WD hard drive paired with an SSD for better performance and reliability.
