This is board is geared more towards creators, however a gamer can use it to! It's certainly a packed board, with a lot of features along with WiFi7 built in! However the WiFi 7 is at 160mhz channel width, but with this board the WiFi card is EASILY upgradeable (THANK YOU ASROCK) Asrock is not a brand I have bought before, however I am glad I did, for the price and features you get it's certainly a bang for the buck. Yes it's on a "lesser" chipset, but b850 is perfectly fine if you are not doing extreme overclocking.
