It's a R7 3700x model. For video editing you'd likely want mainboards with over 64GB RAM and enough space to fit an 8-core processor. My top choice reduced the options to 11, all based on x570 (because of the large memory requirement), starting around €220. They also support more demanding CPU upgrades. If you need something cheaper with less than 64GB, the ASUS ROG Strix B450-E Gaming (Tier D) works for this system.
What's your price range? This model has built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, which you were searching for.
This function is exclusive to the X570 model. You're targeting the B450 Mobo.
It seems you were unclear about the start. Most Wi-Fi adapters come with built-in Bluetooth, which is why this reference was included.
It's not entirely incorrect. Lol. A solid VRM cooling setup is crucial, yes, but any reputable brand board can handle the job. If you opt for a low-quality board and attempt an extreme overclock, you'll likely run into problems. Purchasing from trusted manufacturers like Asus, EVGA, MSI, Gigabyte, or ASRock ensures compatibility with most chips that fit their boards. We're far beyond the era when Pentium 4s would make the motherboard look brown due to VRM heat. For high-performance goals, VRM and cooling solutions are vital, but for everyday use it's not a major concern. In my experience, I had to remove several VRM heatsinks to fit my top radiator and fans. It was a rough aluminum block with minimal heat output; after cutting it down, it felt warm under normal loads—around 70°F at idle, rising to the mid-60s during games. Personally, I’ve managed to fix this by milling a custom heatsink and should complete the build soon. However, I haven’t rushed it much because it didn’t really change much. To sum up, a mediocre Z390 board running at 5 GHz with most heatsinks removed can still function, but VRM matters more than people think. Also, I never suggest removing heatsinks—doing so is a bad idea. But I made a decision to replace it with a better-fitted, finned unit, which would let me add a 40mm fan if needed. For reference, here are some images...
