Hi all,

I'm out of touch lately so I'm hoping to get some advice here. I'm looking for an i5 ATX motherboard with at least 6 USB-A ports on the back, support from front USB-A (not USB-C), and which ideally will work with a power supply I recently got (Corsair RM750x). Other than that I don't need anything special - a measly 2 PCIx slots will do.

What would you recommend? Thanks!

Good point. I'm thinking the 11 series - just updated the subject line.

Might as well go 12/13 since they both work in the newest boards. Depending on budget you could start with 12xxx and later upgrade it to 13xxx if you need more E cores.

12+ offer Gen 5 pcie slot and faster dmi for peripherals.

I think pretty much any Z series motherboard conforms to these requirements. So once you decide which generation of CPU you should be fine. I'm partial to MSI. If you can think of any other requirements I'm sure that would help narrow it down.

Thanks all. I thought the front USB would be an outlier but I see that it's quite common. Appreciate the advice!

You should check out pcpartpicker.com and there are plenty of different filters to narrow down based on req's you're looking for as well as cross checking things to make sure things will fit together once built.
