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?

Asus Prime Z790-A Wi-Fi Intel LGA1700 DDR5

Mobos are just feature sets and nothing else. Buy the cheapest mobo that has all the features you want and supports the memory speed you want. There is 0 benefit to overspending on a mobo if you don’t need the extra features

so all i want is DDR5 7200. i have been using a 10gbe intel NIC for years so onboard wifi is worthless to me. i won’t overclock a 14th gen and will set the PL1/PL2 to intel spec, possibly even undervolt. what mobo out there should i be looking at?

If you want to undervolt then you need a z790 chipset. It’s the only one that lets you mess around with voltage
