3 years ago I built a budget PC thinking it would be a great PC for many different task. But after a few months of using it, it wasn't up to par for what I intended the use for it. It had a B450-A motherboard with a RX570 GPU. Decided to upgrade and build my ultimate PC and settled on the PROART X570-CREATOR WIFI, problem was, I assume that with the shortage of everything in the world and AMD coming out with the AMD5 chip, this board was pulled from the market. Whatever the case maybe, I did find one and ordered it. I have paired this with a Ryzen 9 5900x, RTX3080 TI, G.Skill Trident Neo 3600Mhz 64gb Ram and Samsung 980 Pro NMVe and I can say that I finally got the Ultimate PC that I was looking for. I have benchmarked it, and the only thing that is not up to par is my dual AOC 4K 60hz monitors. This will be my next upgrade and I will truly have a PC that I can rock for 5 years minimum. Not much to say about the Motherboard itself, but it did have plenty of NVMe slots (3 in total) SATA connection, ARGB, Fan Headers etc. It did have USB 3.2 Gen 1 header which made it nice for the USB-C port on the case. it is a huge improvement form my B450 motherboard for sure
