If you're looking to build the ultimate gaming setup in 2025, two of the best motherboards you can choose from are the ASUS ROG Maximus Z890 Hero for Intel users and the MSI B650M Gaming Plus WiFi for AMD users. The ASUS board is a high-end option supporting Intel's 14th/15th Gen Core Ultra CPUs, DDR5 RAM up to 9200 MHz, PCIe 5.0, dual Thunderbolt 4 ports, 10Gb Ethernet, and Wi-Fi 7—perfect for extreme performance and overclocking. On the other hand, the MSI B650M offers excellent value for money with support for AMD Ryzen 7000/8000 CPUs, DDR5 memory, PCIe 5.0 expansion, Wi-Fi 6E, and solid gaming capabilities at a budget-friendly price. Whether Dhruv is going for a premium Intel build or a cost-efficient AMD powerhouse, either of these boards would make an excellent core for a future-proof gaming PC.
