The Gigabyte X570S AERO G is an ATX motherboard for AMD's 3rd generation Ryzen processors. It offers a good combination of features, I/O ports, and build quality.
In terms of connectivity, this board is well equipped with ten USB ports (one of which two are Type C), wired and wireless networking, and both digital and analog audio outputs. It also has an HDMI connection, but that only functions when a CPU with integrated graphics is used - and we don't offer those in our systems here at Puget, as that feature is limited to the lowest-end processors in AMD's line.
Internally this motherboard has four DDR4 memory slots, supporting up to 128GB of RAM, and six SATA III ports plus four M.2 slots for connecting drives - one of which shares lanes with the bottom PCI-Express slot. Speaking of expansion slots, there are three PCIe 4.0 slots of various sizes are available to handle a variety of expansion card configurations.

William George (Product Development SME) Says:
This motherboard doesn't officially support Thunderbolt, but it does oddly feature DisplayPort pass-through on one of the USB Type C ports. That is why there is a DisplayPort input on the I/O panel. This extra level of complexity seems pointless to me, though, as passing through the USB doesn't provide any additional benefit that I am aware of.
