The MSI MEG X670E Ace motherboard offers solid performance and attractive aesthetics. While it markets itself to gamers, it really comes with the feature set for content creators more than anything. Plenty of I/O and M.2 slots give it great options for connectivity and storage. It’s a bit pricey and it unfortunately lacks USB4, but overall there is a lot to like here.
