In a week (payday!) I'm gathering all the components for my first build. I'm stuck choosing between the x570 Aorus Elite and the x570 Asus TUF Gaming (no Wi-Fi). Different websites give conflicting advice. One forum praises the Elite, while others favor the TUF gaming model. I'm really confused now... It's going to be a gaming PC with a Ryzen 7 3700X, if that's important.

You're asking about the purpose of the PC, suggesting it's not the most suitable model for your needs. You'd likely want to consider alternatives that offer better value or suit your requirements more effectively.

If I shared that with you... Both options are solid choices. The main distinction is minor, with the TUF offering improved overclocking performance and the Elite featuring a USB 3.2 Gen 2 front panel connector.

I prefer a 570 over a 450. I’m happy with the other components I chose. It’s hard to pick a motherboard right now. Apparently the TUF model offers more SATA ports, which many found significant. I’m not sure what SATA actually does—after checking online, it seems to relate to storage devices. Why would someone need multiple SSDs or HDDs? (I’m still getting familiar with PC parts) I also saw that the Elite model includes Intel LAN, which some people thought mattered. But again, I’m not clear on what that means.

The SATA ports are designed for SSDs, HDDs, and optical drives like DVD players. Both 6 and 8 ports seem sufficient for most users. Intel LAN connections are usually reliable and don’t need special attention. This could be considered a positive point, though it’s not a major focus here.

In my setup, I’d likely need just two SATA ports—one for the HDD and one for the SSD. I’m skipping Intel Lan and focusing on other options. Regarding the RGB lights, I’m wondering if the motherboards can handle all the connections or if the lights are built into the parts. It’s a bit confusing, but I’m trying to keep things simple. I’ve been saving for a while now and want everything to be perfect. This will probably be my first build, maybe the last one for a few years.

Yes. There are also M.2 SSDs available that eliminate the need for a SATA connection entirely. You haven’t specified a complete system, so which RGB parts are you considering? Various standards exist, leading to multiple ways of connecting everything.

You're receiving a M.2 SSD. The rest of your setup includes a Ryzen 7 3700x processor, Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro RAM in two 8GB sticks, a Seagate Barracuda Compute 2TB SSD, a Samsung 970 Evo 500GB M.2-2280 NVMe drive, an MSI GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER Gaming X graphics card, and a MasterCase H500 case. Your power supply is a Corsair RM (2019) 750W 80+ Gold unit.

Is this about the RGB settings of the case? The case includes a small controller with a button (or an alternative reset switch), and by pressing this button or the reset button, you can adjust the RGB effect.
