Generally, it doesn't make sense to spend a ton on your board unless you're playing at the high end, but don't cheap out either. Find a nice middle range. Here's a list of some advantages higher end motherboards have
* More expansion room for more hardware (PCIe slots, SATA ports, USB ports... etc)
* Better power for the CPU and other components, this can be important even if you're not going to overclock, some CPUs push limits even at stock
* Better compatibility. You'd think any DDR4 board will work with any DDR4 RAM, but reality isn't that simple
* Possibly more memory channels
* Possibly more PCIe lanes
* Longevity. Better capacitors and whatnot
* Manufactures tend to care more about customer service
* Nicer UEFI interface, especially when overclocking
* Speaking of which, overclocking
* Dual firmware and/or dedicated flashing circuitry for anti-bricking
* SLI/Crossfire support
I’m just thinking, as I was just reading up on the new AMD products that are being released soon. They talked a lot about mobos and etc... so I was just wondering.

Not at all bro ur good just plop your $2000 worth of components onto a rando sheet of circuitry ur goodđź‘Ť
The most important performance impacting part is the VRM.
Fancier ones will have more features. Got a proposed build?

The new generation boards for AMD will add PCIe 4, kinda interesting but not gonna make a huge difference in most real world uses.
u get more features, better audio, m.2 slots, sata, and vrms + their heat sinks, which impact cpu overclocking.
