It's not an upgrade at all. According to these specs, no USB4 or wifi 7. There was a X870E board posted a day or so ago at this price, which is an upgrade on paper, but honestly, unless you know you need something your current board lacks, there won't be any difference. Your CPU won't run any better.
How much of an upgrade is this over the old msi board that came with the 7700x microcenter bundles when everything was much cheaper?
Well depends on what motherboard you are actually using. But if we are talking about a cheaper am5 board like maybe a b650, this board would possibly have more nvme drive slots (tho makes sure you pay attention to bifurcation). And More USB ports. Features such as wifi7. maybe a faster ethernet port depending on what you have. Possibly better sound. It wouldnt be a performance upgrade. And better VRM would matter very little. Other quality of life features would be tool-less access to drives, Qleds to troubleshoot booting, and a Bios Flashback button, more argb and fan headers. but these things will need to be compared to your old board
