Intel Motherboard – MSI MAG Z790 TOMAHAWK

While we loved a more extreme motherboard for our AMD pick, when it comes to Intel, I’ve been a long-time fan and user of multiple MSI Tomahawk motherboards, as they strike an incredible balance of features, build quality, design and price that’s simply too hard to ignore.

The Tomahawk series has long been the best choice for an all-round motherboard for work, gaming and anything else you can think of, and the MSI MAG Z790 TOMAHAWK WiFi is our choice for this year, and it is even available in both DDR4 and DDR5 variants, giving consumers plenty of choice.
