You want a full-size ATX board that handles your Intel Core Ultra Series 2 chip without holding it back on bandwidth or connectivity. The ROG STRIX B860-A Gaming WiFi gives you a PCIe 5.0 x16 lane for your GPU, a second PCIe 4.0 x16 slot, and four M.2 NVMe slots so your storage stack stays fast. USB4 at 20Gbps on the back panel means one cable covers data and a 4K@60Hz display output – no extra adapter needed. WiFi 7 keeps you wireless without the latency hit, and Intel 2.5Gb Ethernet with ASUS LANGuard covers the wired side. Four DDR5 DIMM slots push up to 256GB at 8600+MT/s with XMP or AEMP III profiles. Aura Sync RGB is there if you want it; the board works fine without it. ATX form factor at 30.5cm x 24.4cm fits standard mid-tower cases
