Asus Prime X670-P

The Asus Prime X670-P is a balanced motherboard with an X670 chipset for under $300, which is a decent value considering how expensive the other X670E models run. It’s a good option for low- to mid-level builds, and for most users it’ll pair perfectly fine with a midrange Ryzen 7000 CPU. It might not have all of the bells and whistles of premium next-gen boards, but gamers and content creators who don’t want to shell out a small fortune will find a lot to like here.
