Considering some changes to my ordered build

[fullofpenguions]

I've ordered the following machine - but I'm considering replacing the motherboard with the ASUS TUF Gaming X570-Plus.

It looks like it has wifi included with it. So does that mean I can do without a separate wireless component?

Cheers

Personally, I'd say the X570 is worth it over B550, it has better PCIe 4 integration for one thing, and better M2 support because of it.

That board doesn't have wifi though so you'd still need a card:

I'd also suggest at least silver warranty.
