Quick Overview: https://storage-asset.msi.com/dat...WIFI6E.pd
Manual: https://download-2.msi.com/archiv...nglish
Things to note:
The motherboard is MicroATX form factor.
It supports up to 3 m.2 drives (1 slot is on the rear of the motherboard), normally boards only support 2, and 3 is normally only on full size ATX boards.
It has a bios flash button, which allows flashing without booting.
It has onboard Wifi and has 5 fan headers. These are a lot of features that are often cut for smaller boards. Having the bios flash button is a huge boon as many motherboards didn't support newer cpus which got you in a situation of requiring a older cpu to flash the bios to support an newer cpu. Not a issue here.
And to add another stick of the exact kind, it looks like I'd be adding $240 which would put it not far off from the 7700X bundle .

Gonna sell the ddr5 and use the 32GB 5600 DDR5 corsair vengeance sticks from best buy's $15 oopsie a couple years back. A little less speed (probably won't matter much with x3d) but twice the capacity and more cost efficient than selling the vengeance and buying another 16GB g skill.

I had first looked at just running AM4.... but the AM4 CPUs are just as much if not more expensive than the AM5 cpus due to the ram situation right now.... so going AM5 (and not being blocked from future upgrades), seemed like the better play, even if it is more painful in the short term. I doubt he's gonna press the cpu/gpu anyway, but I like the option considering I'm the one that's going to have to maintain/support it.

I looked, but I think they removed that option in the past few months. It was good while it lasted though, as it gave you the same discount on a additional stick of ram.
