ASRock B650E PG-ITX
Well-priced at $289.99, ASRock's B650E PG-ITX is the only motherboard in its class with a PCI Express 5.0 M.2 socket and Killler networking, as well as robust power delivery. If you don't mind a previous-gen audio codec and only two SATA ports, it's the pick of the litter for B650 Mini-ITX.
