Which CPU

Excellent find. I have one for the X470 but glad to see someone's compiled one for the Z490.

My friend has the Asus Strix Z490-E but that was a little out of your budget so I was going to recommend either the Gigabyte Aorus Elite or the Pro. As for memory you ideally want some decent 3600Mhz preferably C16 stuff. I'm trying to see what the cheapest that goes for but I'm sure your searching skills are better than mine. ;)

£200-£300 budget for the Motherboard is ok. I do like the look of the Rog Strix Z490-E. Is the LAN ok with them ?

The Unify sounds like a great board as well although I dont think it features quick sync support.

If you can afford the Rog Strix Z490-E then most definitely get that over the MSI Unify - QuickSync may still work but I wouldn't take the risk, I think it does on the MEG but their lack of iGPU support is a major omission in my books and could come back to bite you.

Do we not call it onboard graphics anymore? :D

Anyway, the MEG does not have it... or the Unify.
