Hi all,
I purchased a motherboard at a low price, but upon receiving it I found it was not on sale. It arrived in good condition, yet it lacked m.2 screws, the Wi-Fi input had bent connections, and several other components were missing. I plan to return the board, which makes me rethink my decision. My current part list is attached, and I’m seeking advice.
Gigabyte Z790 UD AC DDR5 ATX Motherboard
It appears to be a good budget choice, though I could spend up to $300. I don’t have any specific requirements beyond playing games and not needing much performance. Any thoughts on the board or my build?

This product emphasizes extensive connectivity options, versatile tools, and a robust Wi-Fi solution tailored for gamers seeking high performance. It features an Intel 13th/12th Gen processor, supports 12 phases, DDR5 memory, PCIe 4.0, 2.5G LAN, and Wi-Fi 6E.
Any B760 board will work for that processor.
I might choose this one:

However, the MSI option would also be acceptable.
If you prefer a Z board, ASRock usually offers Z690 boards at a significantly lower price compared to others. Since your CPU is fixed, it doesn't matter much.
