If you haven’t checked out AMD’s latest platform yet, now is a good time. The platform is now mature, many of the issues have been fixed, and we’re starting to see “refreshed” boards hitting the shelves, which often means a drop in prices for what are still quite capable “first generation” motherboards. In fact, Newegg currently has the MSI MPG X870 Gaming Plus Wifi for $209.99, saving you $60 (24%) off the MSRP of $269.99making it one of the best non-combo deals currently available for an X870 motherboard.
For the money, you get all the amenities you’d expect from a mid-range X870 board, including support for the current AMD Ryzen 7000, 8000, and 9000 series processors (and potential future processors), three M.2 slots (one PCIe 5.0 x4), quick networking thanks to integrated 5 GbE and Wi-Fi 7, and capable power supply – probably enough to support the reported Dual-cache Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 chip too. You can get the most out of any processor you choose, but for popular processors this is a great combination Ryzen 7 9800X3D or Ryzen 9 9950X3D especially.
While we haven’t reviewed this motherboard, MSI boards have always performed well our testsincluding games, so there’s nothing to worry about. Beyond the hardware, the recent Click BIOS X offers an intuitive, user-friendly interface with plenty of options to customize, whether you’re interested in overclocking or simply tweaking your system. Finally, MSI EZ DIY features like PCIE Clip II, M.2 Shield Frozr II, and push to lock EZ M.2 Clip II make putting the kit together a little easier. Due to its lowest price yet, this deal is a no-brainer if you’re looking for an affordable X870 motherboard.
