SeekerAsus ROG Crosshair X670E Hero
We like what the Crosshair X670E has to offer, but at $699 it sits in a curious space between $1000 flagships and excellent $500 mid-range boards. If you can use all of its features (USB4, multiple PCIe 5.0 M.2 sockets), it’s a great board to build your Zen 4 system on. But otherwise, there are less-expensive options available that still deliver the goods.

The Asus ROG Crosshair X670E Hero is packed with great next-gen features such as DDR5 and PCIe Gen 5, comes with plenty of USB ports and M.2 slots, and has a slick premium design. It has pretty much everything a serious gamer or content creator would need, plus some. It lacks high-end 10GbE networking, but in terms of features and performance per dollar, it doesn’t get much better.
