The ASUS TUF B850M-PLUS WIFI is a compact, micro ATX motherboard for AMD's socket AM5 socket and corresponding Ryzen processors. It sacrifices some of the expansion capacity that a larger motherboard can offer, but still supports up to 192GB of DDR5 memory and multiple SATA and M.2 drives. Two PCI-Express slots are also present: one Gen 5 x16 for a video card and a small Gen 4 x1 for various expansion devices - though some larger video cards could cover that second slot as well.
For external connectivity, this board has 7.1 surround analog audio outputs, 2.5Gb Ethernet, WiFi 6e, Bluetooth 5.3, and massive twelve USB ports of varying speeds (including one Type C). There are also HDMI and DisplayPort outputs for use with the graphics built into AMD's Ryzen processors, though most users will want to add a dedicated video card for improved graphics performance.
