Priced around $300, the Z790 Tomahawk WIFI DDR4 is a solid board to build your Raptor Lake-based system on. It compares well hardware/specs-wise to the other boards and its all-black appearance blends in with most build themes. However, it’s priced high compared to its direct competition.

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.

Overall, the Aorus Master is a good-looking option in the$500 Z790 price ranget. You get an incredible 14 USB ports on the rear IO, solid power delivery, a PCIe 5.0 M.2 socket, a 10 GbE port and Killer-based Wi-Fi 6E. It also performs well against its peers, but there are no USB 4 ports, and you don’t get the latest audio codec.

It’s to be expected that AM5 motherboards will cost a premium, but even so, we’d expect more features from something that is branded “Xtreme.” Also, for those looking to display their builds, the design of this motherboard leaves a little to be desired—it lacks the flashy feel you expect from high-end boards. Despite this, the Gigabyte Aorus Xtreme is a well-designed motherboard overall, with a decent feature set that provides good value for anyone looking to invest in DDR5 and PCIe Gen 5 hardware.

Priced under $200, Asus’ B660-Creator D4 is a solid budget board for creative professionals. It may not have all the bells and whistles of the Z690 version, but it’s less than half the pricef. If you’re looking to use the flexibility of the USB Type-C display option and don’t need integrated Thunderbolt 4 (40 Gbps) ports, this board should be on your shortlist.

The Asus Prime Z690-A covers the bases that most users will want from an Intel "Alder Lake" motherboard, but it does little to separate itself from the pack.

At $629.99, the Z690 Classified comes with capable 90A power delivery, three M.2 sockets, and eight SATA ports. If you’re shopping for an Intel board in this range and don’t need a PCIe 5.0 M.2 socket or mind a last-generation audio codec, it’s a viable option, though there are cheaper comparable boards available.

Gigabyte’s sleek Z590 Aorus Xtreme defines the state-of-the-art luxury motherboard, well-built with lots of overclocking options and nifty audio and storage accessories. Just know you're buying into a dead-end socket for more money than a whole top-end next-generation CPU.

NZXT’s N7 Z590 is a full-featured Z590 motherboard that includes two M.2 sockets, Intel-based Wi-Fi 6E, capable power delivery, premium audio, and more. It’s a well-rounded mid-ranger for Intel’s Z590 platform, though for a similar price, there are other options with more and better parts.
