Have three alternatives for my new rig.

I will use it with 14700K, 64gb ram and 4080.

Z790-E is a bit pricier than I prefer. Actually I don't need WiFi on desktop computer but all of them have it.

The only difference between Z790-A and Z790-E looks like support for Gen5 SSDs. At this moment I'm going to install a Samsung 990 Pro, i may do without Gen5 SSD in the future, I guess.

Will Asus Rog Strix Z790-A be enough, since it is the cheapest one?

Strix Z790-H should be cheaper than Strix Z790-A

You should check if you actually need the A/E features over H.

Yes I agree and I mentioned about it in my response, I just placed an order for it to be paired with 14700K and G Skill 7200 CL34 32gb kit and I had a tough time choosing boards too as it's almost pointless to spend extra money on useless features, that's the reason I skipped AM5 build with 7800X3D because boards are too expensive where I live for AM5, even the B650 boards are ridiculously expensive than z790 boards.
