Hello, I'm thinking about assembling a new Intel PC. It's been a while since I built one, and I'm not familiar with Intel's chipset options. I'm seeking suggestions for a high-end motherboard that supports the latest Intel CPUs. Since I'm used to budget builds, I usually choose AMD, but now I have a bigger budget of around 1500-1700 for the whole tower. I'd really like something from ASUS—this is my first post. I need NVMe M.2 support, at least one USB 3.2 Type-C with DDR4 3200 speed, Thunderbolt 4 compatibility, visible post codes on the board, and maybe some RGB lighting. If possible, I'd appreciate any recommendations or tips. I work 60 to 70 hours a week, so I'm usually too tired for in-depth research right now. If anyone has good advice, I'd really value it!

No specific reason provided. Just a note on why someone might avoid a Ryzen CPU.

This Intel motherboard features integrated 802.11ax support. Among the available options, only a few include built-in Thunderbolt. For better flexibility, consider adding both WiFi and Thunderbolt through PCIe expansion.

I see only this board or the ATX TB models (not sure if they're available) that fit all requirements.

I really like the Ryzen I have right now, but I’m planning to assemble an Intel tower just for this project. I’m passionate about computer hardware and want to experiment with different configurations.

They offer multiple options, some come pre-installed, others include expansion cards.

It's okay if the options for built-in features are limited; PCI cards work well. Any ASUS board with solid PCI expansion should meet your needs.

Noted, Thunderbolt remains underutilized even on Intel boards. It seems like it might be overlooked or not widely adopted. Could be due to limited demand or lack of interest.
