ASRock B650 Rock WiFi 7 AM5 ATX Motherboard, DDR5

Built around Socket AM5 and the AMD B650 chipset, this board gives you a solid base for a new AMD system. It's a sensible middle ground for builders who want a current platform without paying for features they'll never use, and AM5 gives you room to plan future processor upgrades.

With four DDR5-SDRAM slots, you can start with two memory modules and add more later as your workload grows. DDR5 is the memory standard for the AM5 platform, so your build stays aligned with current hardware. That flexibility suits anyone who wants to spread the cost of an upgrade over time.

Two M.2 (M-key) slots let you run a fast system drive alongside a second drive for games or projects, with no extra cables. Integrated Wi-Fi and Bluetooth mean you can go online and pair headsets, controllers or other peripherals straight away, which is handy for desks far from the router.

This board suits gamers putting together a new AM5 rig, home users building an all-round desktop, and anyone upgrading from an older AMD platform. It's especially practical for setups where running an Ethernet cable isn't convenient.
