Have three alternatives for my new rig.

I will use it with 14700K, 64gb ram and 4080.

Z790-E is a bit pricier than I prefer. Actually I don’t need WiFi on desktop computer but all of them have it.

The only difference between Z790-A and Z790-E looks like support for Gen5 SSDs. At this moment I’m going to install a Samsung 990 Pro, i may do without Gen5 SSD in the future, I guess.

Will Asus Rog Strix Z790-A be enough, since it is the cheapest one?

    I dont care about the sound quality. I use a separate USB amp/dac for headphones and speakers are connected via optic output.

      Then surely go with H as it’s best bang for buck, I will be using onboard sound temporarily too until I upgrade to AE7 or AE9
