The ASRock Steel Legend SL1000GW is a reliable power supply with good efficiency and enough power for high-end GPUs. It meets the latest ATX 3.1 standard and comes with a 10-year warranty, which shows ASRock’s trust in its durability. Performance-wise, it does well in efficiency, though its voltage regulation and ripple control are decent but not top-tier. Overall, if you want a solid, future-proof PSU from a well-known brand, this one is worth considering.

The best motherboard for the Ryzen 7 9800X3D doesn't have to be from the X870 chipset. Budget B650 chipset motherboards perform well, too.

The G.Skill Trident Z5 Royal Neo 64GB 6000MHz CL26 is G.Skill's latest 64GB addition to its "Royal Neo" series. The kit follows the same design pattern we saw in the other kits, featuring a mirror-finished silver or gold heat spreader with a beautiful crystalline light bar on top. The kit has an ultra-low latency of only 8.66ns and beats most RAM kits by only enabling its default EXPO settings.

From performance to quiet, I have rounded up the top four 1200W power supplies that are perfect for 2025.

We have tested 10+ Z890 motherboards in the past two weeks, and after going through each of them, we have rounded the best 5 options.

The ASRock Z890 Pro-A is an entry-level motherboard that comes in at a highly competitive price of $189.99 USD. At this price, the motherboard does drop the support for WiFi and Bluetooth, though the slot is available to separately install a module of your own. Other than this minor inconvenience, the board offers pretty much everything, from decent performance to a good selection of I/O with a budget-friendly price tag.

The Aula M75 is a fantastic aluminum keyboard with virtually no flaws, not even in price. It’s got all the essential components for a flawless typing experience, but its wireless performance falls short. The battery life, on the other hand, is truly the best in the game. As long as you don’t mind its simplicity, the M75, with its excellent build quality and packaging, stands as a top-tier keyboard.

The ASRock Phantom Gaming X870E Nova WiFi is a remarkable motherboard for all Ryzen 7000, 8000, and 9000 series CPUs. It has an impressive 20+2+1-phase VRM design with 110A Dr.MOS SPS. The motherboard has a total of five M.2 slots, with the top one being Gen5. There is also an exceptionally extensive selection of USB ports, including USB4 and much more. As expected, the X870E Nova WiFi packs a solid punch when it comes to both synthetic and gaming benchmarks, and also has very optimal VRM thermals, making it a good choice for overclocking.

The ASRock B850M Steel Legend WiFi is a solid MicroATX motherboard for $179, offering good features like PCIe Gen5, WiFi 7, and plenty of USB ports. It supports AMD Ryzen 7000, 8000, and 9000 CPUs and performs well in gaming. While its VRM cooling isn’t great for heavy overclocking, it’s a great pick for budget-friendly, compact builds, especially if you like its sleek white design.

The ASRock B850M Pro RS WiFi motherboard is a great small form-factor motherboard for budget gamers who want to utilize AMD's latest mid-range offerings. It provides decent value with 17x USB ports, 3x M.2 slots, and 4x HDD slots. It also has a beautiful black-and-white design and overall packs enough performance and features to offer a good gaming experience without breaking the bank.

The ASRock B850 Steel Legend WiFi is a $209.99 motherboard that comes in an all-white color scheme that looks excellent. Moreover, the powerful VRMs with strong black capacitors give it enough juice to produce impressive performance on screen. The number of features is also quite impressive and makes it one of the best options in the sub-$250 motherboard category.

The ASRock B850 Pro RS WiFi is a $189.99 motherboard and falls into the budget category. The motherboard offers plenty of fine features for its price, like WiFi 6E connectivity, heatsink armor for VRMs and NVMe drives. It performs fine on most parts but runs slightly hotter than most other competing motherboards. However, the aesthetics of the motherboard sure look appealing.
