What motherboard to pair with my I7-14700K? (alien.top)

Sorry if this has been flogged to death, but I figure it’s good to keep the discussion up-to-date!

I’ve recently picked up a 14700k and I’m wondering which motherboards are the way to go, or rather, which ones to avoid. Eyeing off the Z790 chipset.

Budget is $500 AUD, but would prefer not to spend any more than I have to.

Thanks in advance.

I'm loving the Gigabyte Aorus Elite X WiFi 7. Has an 8 layer PCB ( vs 6 on tomahawk) so might be better for DDR5 overclocking. Briefly had a ROG Apex Encore and the Elite X actually feels like a more premium board (at less than half the price).
