Hey guys,
I’m helping a friend build a pc, this will be both our first time doing this. I have chosen all the parts for the PC but I wanted to know what you guys thought.

Any compatible motherboard generally works for the CPU.
With AMD, this is basically a non-issue but high-end Intel CPUs are so incredibly power hungry that a motherboard VRMs can become a limiting factor. More money isn’t always better here though; a 120€ board could be better than a 300€ one. You’d have to look up the specific board.
Most important though is feature support which mostly boils down to what I/O you need. E.g. NVMe slots, expansion cards, thunderbolt, networking or even just how many USB-A ports there are.
I don’t have any specific requirements here, so I’ve so far gone with one of the least expensive boards that isn’t utter trash and I’ve had no issues.
