The pcie 4.0 m.2 slot will be useless with this cpu but there is another pcie 3.0 m.2 onboard
With my mother's desktop it still has a 3rd gen intel in it. Works extremely well and starts up twice as fast as my 12th gen. Security wise online it's not a great idea to run older stuff like that, so looking to upgrade that machine to at least 10th gen. This would be perfect if it had integrated graphics so I will continue to search for some good deals as they pop up.

I usually go with Intel as they seem to have better pricing. The last gen (was current gen when I did it last year
The biggest frustration was getting the motherboard to work with the Ryzen 7 processor. Dumb Gigabyte B550 motherboard wouldn't BIOS flash no matter what I did. The box didn't indicate which version of BIOS was on the board and a recent version would have been needed to add support for my CPU. Out of frustration I just installed the CPU & RAM and booted it up, and thankfully the motherboard had a recent enough BIOS to POST. I then popped it into BIOS and upgraded to the latest version using the BIOS itself. No matter how easy they make things sound, I have heard of many folks having problems with motherboards that claim to allow you to flash the BIOS without connecting everything!!!
Was glad that worked, as I didn't have a prior version AMD CPU hanging around to boot the board if it had an old BIOS version on it (remember, I had never used AMD before!). Was an interesting learning experience for sure.

I had the same issue with a x470 board when putting in a 3700x it just would not post or boot. Mine unfortunately had no bios flashback / usb flash and required an older chip to flash. Then on a x570 board I had been using that was gigabyte it recommended an update for dram stability. I updated it and a few days after running fine it bricked itself. Nothing worked to fix it and it was because there was so many chips on that platform someone at gigabyte that made the bios and tested it (on a mainstream $250 board) forgot to include my processor in the bios so it wouldnt work and needed an rma as no processor or flash could do anything for it.
I havent been issue free after switching to intel after 10th gen though. Had a z490 tomahawk board brick itself on a bios update for an audio bug which I was having and had to rma that because of no bios flashback lol.
But from all that I have found what companies to trust to this point. MSI and asus are my main go to's for motherboards just because gigabyte rma experiences and issues with the products were much more frequent and more and more of them treating me like I was causing them issues with needing an rma rather than wanting to help and set up one.
