Quick Check on ASUS Strix B550-F Please?

I see this is on offer at the moment.

Is it a good buy for a higher end gaming/video editing rig? It would be partnered with a 2080 Super, 32GB DDR4, and an as of yet unknown Ryzen CPU (5800X at least). Won't be overclocking, and don't need WiFi, tons of storage/connectivity.

A good pick at that price of £140?

It’s a good board. I’ve run one with a 5600 and a 5800, 32GB, 6700/6800. Been solid for me and looks good.

Nice board but only has 1x m2 Pcie4 slot so if you need the fastest data transfer possible then x570 should be your choice which has 2 x m2 pcie4.

Thanks guys. I think 1 x m2 slot will be enough.

I have this board, well the wifi version, been totally fine for me. 3900X with a 3080.

Bear in mind two SATA ports are disabled if you use the 2nd M2 slot, I have both M2 slots in use but only have a couple of other drives.
