Intel CPUs have been maturing nicely in the PC building space, with both 12th-gen and 13th-gen offerings well received. This makes Intel more flexible for gamers looking to build more niche setups—such as Micro-ATX.
Overcoming its Micro-ATX format limitations, the MAG B760M Mortar WiFi from MSI provides most next-gen features users want while managing to keep the price budget friendly. It lacks the potential for CPU overclocking and the lack of USB 3.0 slots are disappointing, but overall it’s a great motherboard with solid baseline features for budget builds.
Good balance of features for a $199 Micro-ATX motherboard; Two onboard M.2 slots, eight USB ports; Nice networking and decent audio; Clean design, integrated I/O shield;
B760 means no CPU overclocking; The 4 USB 2.0 slots should be at least USB 3.0; No heat sink on the second NVME slot;
