Considering your needs, a B550 motherboard with built-in Wi-Fi would be suitable for gaming. Some recommended options include the ASUS ROG Strix B550, MSI MAG B550, and Gigabyte B550 series. These models offer good performance and compatibility for gaming purposes.
Running on an AMD Ryzen 3 2200G with Radeon Vega graphics, staying within a $400 budget is feasible.
If an ATX board were viable, I’d strongly suggest the ASUS ROG Strix B550-F Gaming Wi-Fi. Anything beyond that would be overkill. The ASRock B550 Phantom Gaming 4/AC remains a solid alternative at a more affordable price. Either option should work well. Let me know if you need more details!
ATX is the standard choice, though I’m not sure what extra features would matter to someone new. If you’re mainly into gaming, built-in Wi-Fi could be helpful.

I decided to replace my motherboard with a newer model that includes built-in Wi-Fi since my PC keeps having Wi-Fi problems and has been depending on USB connections.
