So I am having a small form factor PC built by Scan to do work on, which is heavy excel usage as well as some bespoke programs which are processor heavy. The build is based around a AMD Ryzen 9 3900x processor, which I am pretty happy with. The issue I am having is the Scan are struggling to get hold of the motherboard they are recommending which is the Gigabyte X570 I AORUS PRO WIFI Mini ITX AM4. I don't know enough to make any comments on whether there are any viable alternatives, anyone got any thoughts? I am massively out of my depth so have relied on the customer team at scan to help me spec it all.

There are a LOT of them out there.... but it's unlikely you really need top of the line. That said there's not a huge amount of mITX so you should be able to cut the list down quite a bit

Thanks that’s a useful article, was struggling to work out which features I really need. Essentially just want to make sure I have a decent machine that I don’t have to worry about upgrading for a couple of years
