Need assistance with your Ryzen 9 3900X build?
You're searching for a motherboard suited for your Ryzen 9 3900X setup, focusing on Pro Tools, Ableton, and gaming. Since you're new to MOBO's, here are key points to consider: prioritize ATX models only. For RAM expansion, ensure the board supports at least 128GB of memory with a robust DIMM slot configuration. When it comes to storage, look for at least two 2TB SSDs—check for SATA III or NVMe compatibility. Seek guides that compare MOBO's and highlight their RAM and SSD options, as well as build quality recommendations.
I'm still searching for the SSD and RAM. Right now I only have the GPU, which is the NVIDIA RTX 2070 SUPER.
128Gb RAM places you firmly in the X5 chipset area, and I’d recommend the X570 over that. The feature toggle on the left should assist in narrowing down your choices. https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/products/mot...&R=5&c=138 Updated: Gigabyte X570 AORUS ELITE could serve as a solid starting point for deeper exploration.

You might need more than just two TBs of M.2 drives because the total storage is being split across multiple devices, and the system requires a larger capacity for redundancy or performance reasons.
